North Texas Comments

These are a little late in coming, but here as my view from section 38 Saturday.

• I was completely surprised that HeadVisor opened up the playbook
• Sam Bradford looked really good…Bradford missed on only two passes, he overthrow Malcolm Kelly deep downfield, and missed on a out pattern later in the quarter. Bradford completed his last 18 passes.
• North Texas was unbelievable bad
• Todd Dodge should’ve really considered changing up the play calling and offense after they were down 21-0 in about thirteen minutes of play. They continued with the no huddle offense for most of the game.
• Another thing I thought UNT mishandled was playcalling…there were very few options for the Mean Green QB in short areas…it seemed like there was a lot of pass patterns that required five or seven step drops and had deep patterns, but there were no short drop off options , so the QB ended up flinging it out of bounds. And stopping the clock, etc. Those two things combined allowed for 13 of 17 UNT possessions to be less than 2 minutes.
• I’m not sure I learned much about the Sooners this week aside from feeling better that we do appear to have a competent QB, but UNT was so unbelievably overmatched that we didn’t learn much about OU IMO.
• Malcolm Kelly can catch anything
• O-line struggled in short yardage situations against UNT front, which is concerning
• Jermaine Gresham’s nickname on this blog is now Keith Jackson, Jr.
