Final Thoughts – North Texas vs. MTSU

[Mean_Green09]

I retract my thoughts from last week. UNT can run the ball, just not on the road. UNT is averaging 240 yards on the ground in the friendly confines of Apogee.

Speaking of Apogee if you were in attendance on Saturday night give yourself a pat on the back that atmosphere was the best it has been this season. There is no doubt in my mind that the UNT players really react to that type of atmosphere. Let’s hope that the next home game is louder and the atmosphere is more electric.

As far as I’m concerned when MTSU took Kilgore out and decided Grammer was the guy that was the end of the game. Sure Grammer could make a few plays with his feet, but he is nowhere near the thrower that Kilgore is. MTSU fans have plenty to complain about after this game, that was just poor coaching. They literally just took their game plan and ripped it up halfway through the 1^st quarter. You could tell that they never could recover.

The thing about Kilgore being pulled is that they might've done worse had been out there. He's not as quick as Grammer and the MTSU O-line was pretty porous. As hard as our defense hits and as much as they like to strip the ball, it could've ended up worse than 7-34.

Completely disagree. Kilgore was their best shot. Your not going to beat UNT by just running. MTSU's best shot was throwing the ball. Kilgore was quick enough to move around in the pocket. MTSU dug their grave with that move. Happy they made it though.

Agree. Kilgore was 8 for 8 and they had their best drive with him in. It was a stupid move to take out a veteran like that against this defense.

^{I actually think it was a good move to take Kilgore out of the game.}

^{Otherwise our Defense may have taken him out. I think the coaches}

^{took him out to save their season.}
