Obviously not pretty, but in the end got the W.  Lots of work still needed, but at least bought themselves a little time.  Nice to have a bye week to keep working on things, like ditching that 3 man front, and hopefully be ready to take care of business against ACU.

Why start the game in a 4 man front only to literally never run it again after the first quarter?!  I’m at a loss.  It’s almost like we suspended the DC for a quarter.  He comes back and we go right back to the 3-3-5 and nearly blow the game.  
 

Story of the game was Rogers extending drives and getting the running game back on track.  Hope Blair isn’t seriously hurt.

Yeah, maybe once Coach Morris watches the film, he'll tell Caponi to stop with the 3 man D for the rest of the year.

I just want to say I'm so glad to be out of CUSA and their terrible officiating. PI in the endzone, offensive PI, roughing the passer which wasn't close, offside on the onside kick which didn't go 10 yards. They even picked the flag up on the last one. All of those plays extended their drives. Just pure incompetence.

You have been following this team for about 2 seconds. You don't know crap. Caponi is a trash DC and he has to go. You can go with him too.

Noting tonight makes me believe Caponi needs to continue as our DC.

Jared - When Morris makes the change, please, for the sake of the fans, work with him and make sure he brings in an experienced DC or even an FCS head coach with a defensive side-of-the-ball background. UNT can never allow a new HC who is an offensive guy to hire inexperienced DCs.

Stfu GIF by MOODMAN

Sorry to interfere with your bottom barrel expectations.  I enjoy any win vs a FBS opponent.  But come on dude a gif coming for someone not thrilled to be 1-2 winning a close despite horrible defense and a horrible unnecessary trick play is so Old Denton.

The 4-man front resulted in back-to-back 3 and outs and about 4 yards of LT offense in the 1st quarter, but Caponi thought it would be smart not only to move back to the 3-man front, but basically stick with it for most of the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th quarters.  That dude is too stupid to remain as our DC.

Exclusively on 3rd and 8 yards+ MAYBE.  And that is only to have guys familiar with it to install it NEXT YEAR and run scout team when we have an opponent who runs it.  Conversion of front types can be very ugly even on the pro level with a lot more practice time afforded to you.  Long time Dallas Cowboys fans should remember.

      A Year Ago

      Exactly a year ago today. North Texas didn’t have a head coach North Texas had no Recruiting Class No Chandler Rogers or Ethan Miner on North Texas roster Ayo had never rushed for 1000 yards in a season Maclin had never had over 400 yards receiving in a season Landon Sides was enrolled in HS Moral of story is there is a lot of time between now and August 2024.

      North Texas Portal Entry Thread

      I agree but a lot of the fun of following college sports was watching players progress and develop in your program. I don't think we are the only ones belly aching about this either. You have lower and mid P5's losing a lot of their key players as well. This may be great for the players, and I am all for them being compensated but it is terrible for the sport they play. If anyone should be punished it should be the coaches and University administrators who have pocketed billions off the backs of the players. Let them share their TV revenue which goes into the billions with the players instead of the poor fans.

      So when they leave us do we let them come back?

      To answer the original question… If I’m the coach and any player wanting to come back makes my team better, I’m welcoming you back with open arms.

      North Texas Portal Entry Thread

      When you phrase it like this, then you have a complete and morally reasonable argument. I still don't think the anger and criticism should be directed towards college students however. Direct your feelings towards the NCAA and ESPN

      Offensively, I trust Morris' system will truly be a "Next man up" scenario. I hope the guys who are already here know this, and are ready to step up and get their 1000-yd season for their opportunities to get paid. It's not the best scenario for UNT, but it's a positive one.
