That looks like something really bad in his leg. Those trainers and docs were on him quick.
When they threw up the X, that's a bad sign
Classy move by the injured young man to call the whole team over before driving off. That was emotional and a good feeling that he thought of team at that point.
I usually just lurk on opponent's forums during the game to see what the fans are talking about, but I had to say SFA is not only a class act, but has been very impressive on the field as well

If you really wanna see composed, nuanced, and reasonable discussion: Join us when basketball season hits.
Thanks menace. I was glad to see our trainers jump right in to help when you knew it was not good...and the team get back and take the knee.
Hope your guy Price heals well.

BIG Pic. Still in this game.
OK, another great INT. Now, do something with it.

you mean what I said? I meant no disrespect, just exhorting SFA to capitalize...which they didn't unfortunatelyMeanGreenMenace said:

nah, just complaining about the number of interceptions thrown by my QB
well that might do it, given how the offense can't move the ball.

Yep that defensive holding penalty was a killer.
Regardless of how the next 14 minutes go, I'm incredibly proud of this SFA team. Definitely need to clean stuff up but Vidlak looks like the guy.
I'm impressed with how much the defense has improved and more aggressive.
Screens and hitches aren't gonna cut it . Also what happened to the fast tempo this offense was suppose to have ?
Mutz wasn't lying when he said the defense was going to be flying around !
I guess Jenkins is the RB, what happened to everybody else?
You mean you don't love the inevitable 3rd and 6 WR screen?FormerJack said:

If UNT is smart they don't throw another pass. SFA desperately needs a turnover.

I mean, if you want an up tempo air raid offense, it's gonna have a ton of screen passes. That's just how those offenses always work.
But I'm actually glad we didn't go up tempo a lot against UNT. Up tempo offenses are nice when you have an even playing field. When you don't, drives will never last very long or take a lot of time or the clock by design. So the defense is out there a ton. If we thought we were outmatched, wait until we're outmatched and tired.
That's good strategy to slow it down against a team like this.
UNT plays "up tempo" the way it is supposed to be played. They get to the line and go. SFA gets to the line then spends 10 seconds looking to the sideline for a play. That's not up tempo. Perhaps that is the way they wanted to play tonight vs an FBS team. We will see next week how up tempo we go against McNeese.
Gentlemen, it's been a night. Proud of the way the young men acquitted themselves. Enjoyed the exchanges. I've got to get up and work a golf tournament tomorrow.

As I said, it looks like we intentionally slowed our offense down to make sure we don't get fatigued later in the game. UNT can afford to do that against us or really any FBS team.
We can afford to do it against any FCS team. We can't afford to get tired against an FBS team.
Good effort tonight. There was no blowout and no give up. Now we head into FCS play, I hope to see this advertised offense go to work. We certainly should be competitive every game rest of way.
And Carthel---Take the points when you can get em.

I feel pretty good, even with a loss.
Probably better than UNT feels with a win.
That said…hopefully our coaches quit making decisions with their dick instead of their brain before we lose a game because they refuse to take points.

As previously mentioned, "wait until basketball season". This is about as tame as it gets.

Agreed. Even though Nicholls and UIW both looked very solid today, I feel like we should go into every game the rest of the year with a feeling like "we can win", instead of just hoping we can.
My post game thoughts:
-Sam Vidlak looks for real. He was under pressure a lot and UNT did a great job shutting our WRs down, but he still managed to deliver some really nice passes under pressure and extend plays to find open guys. A QB who is really solid under pressure is something SFA hasn't had, at least consistently, in a long time.
-The defense is good. The aggression is something we missed the past 2 seasons and will probably be the difference between a decent season and a phenomenal season.
-We still haven't seen what our offense can really do. It certainly did not look like we opened our playbook up this week like we had hoped. I think maybe it was because this was a money game and maybe the coaches didn't see as much value in it, but I don't think we've seen how good our offense can be.
-Campos is still automatic. Would love to see us use him more when drives stall out in his range instead of going for it when we don't need to.
-As frustrating as it is, we could have and 100% should have won this game. 4 takeaways, one ran back for a touchdown, and dominating the line of scrimmage for most of the game. I'm not entirely sure why we went for it so much and if it worked we would be praising Carthel, but I think the last 2 minutes of the first half and the first 2 minutes of the second half is where we lost the game. We won 56 minutes, lost 4, and that's what it took.
-Remember when Carthel got here and the biggest thing we saw was his teams had zero quit in them, something SFA hadn't seen in a while? Well this team at least so far seems to have absolutely zero quit in them. That will go a long way when it comes to keeping fans on board the train.
-Overall this team has the potential to go far, very far, just need to keep our heads up and keep our feet moving. Can't wait til next Saturday in the bayou.

That started my Saturday off with a huge laugh. Thanks!MasterAxe said:MeanGreenMenace said:

SFA, Class of 1979

That wasn't just some DC talking, Mutz has this defense dialed in.

That's championship defense numbers. If/when the offense catches up, this will be a scary team.

I agree totally, you have an All-American PK that can get you points and chip away at the lead.
Get what Carthel is doing going for it at times, (no guts no glory) easy to criticize on the hindsight, but seems points are left on the table.
Doesn't matter though, that 80-yard UNT TD run was the killer.
1st Q - SFA on the UNT 45, drive stalls at the UNT 36, turnover on downs, possible 3 points
3rd Q - SFA on the SFA 25, drive stalls at the UNT 26, turnover on downs, possible 3 points
4th Q - SFA on the SFA 25, drive stalls at the UNT 24, turnover on downs, possible 3 points (14:16 remaining)
1 for 6 on 4th down

Less than 250 yards of total offense last night.
Defense did all they could with what Carthel did to them on all of those failed 4th down attempts. I get Wanting to be aggressive and go for it but the offense hadnt been moving the ball at all and it just put our defense in bad spots.
Vidlak had good pocket presence but didn't know what to do once he got out, deer in headlights outside of the pocket.
Oline looked really bad against a 3 down front.
I'm really excited for this defense, UNT scored 52 against South Ala and barely sniffed 35 even with us handing them field position
Offense on the other hand… got a lot of work to do, our defense was handing the offense great field position most of the night and we would simply piss down our leg.

I'll be at the Bayou on Saturday. Anyone going to join me?
