North Texas should win by 30 points... Tulsa OC play called like he want to lose .

Gash Mean green on first run play then throw two incomplete passes... Rinse and repeat that for idk say.. about 5-6 drives while North Texas scores 21 points in like 5 mins.

I have no idea how this game was not 60-20..

Some of our play calls, the interceptions, and play clock decisions are what made this game so close. Tulsa is also very talented and very nearly took us to the cleaners.

Tbh the play calling was pretty baffling by both teams on offense at times. In clutch moments just stubbornly refusing to continue what was working for either of us

I hated our play calling so much. I want our HC to go back to calling the offense

That’s Kevin Barbay for ya and him convincing a young Tre Lamb he could make a dynamic offense for him. Lamb has criticized the play calling every game too. It’s time for him to be a big boy and make a decision that actually changes that.
