We've had some scheduling issues as well as technical issues that we are working on. Should be back in business this week for the show. -
‘21 OT Rayvon Crum - Pinson, AL [SIGNED LOI]
Harry replied to 97and03's topic in UNT Football Recruiting
Impressive offer list. -
Interesting to see Bean listed as the "or" starter. Argument could be made that Aune earned it.

DENTON – SMU used a dominant first quarter to open up a three-score lead before UNT's offense found its footing, and the Mustangs left Apogee Stadium with a 65-35 win over the Mean Green on Saturday night. After playing second fiddle at quarterback in UNT's season-opening win over Houston Baptist, redshirt sophomore Austin Aune relieved redshirt sophomore Jason Bean after the Mean Green's stagnant start and finished the night with 276 passing yards and a pair of touchdown tosses on 13-of-25 passing while also notching his first career rushing touchdown. "It was great to see," UNT coach Seth Littrell said of Aune's breakout performance. "You can see it in practice with both of those guys (Aune and Bean). I think they've both had a really good two weeks, so I was a little surprised with the uneasiness early. They're only going to gain confidence as it goes. Last week it was Bean, and this week it was Aune. If they come out and start the way they finished, we'll be fine." UNT finished with 517 total yards of offense, but the Mean Green defense struggled all night while SMU senior quarterback Shane Buechele and his teammates rolled up 710 yards of offense as Buechele completed 24 of 33 passes for 344 yards and four touchdowns. SMU receivers Rashee Rice and Reggie Roberson Jr., each eclipsed the 100-yard mark receiving, and Ulysses Bentley IV rushed for 227 yards on 19 carries, including an 84-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter. "There was a lot of self-inflicted wounds," redshirt senior linebacker Kyleb Howell said. "A lot of gaps that should've been filled that weren't filled. A lot of calls we didn't get and some confusion in coverage. That's not an excuse. We have to get our calls. They're a good team, but I don't think we were overwhelmed. We have to get our run fits together and our coverages worked out." Howell was making his first career start at linebacker after playing fullback in UNT's season opener. He replaced the team's leading tackler KD Davis, who was out along with fellow starting linebacker Tyreke Davis – both forced to sit due to medical issues. Littrell praised Howell's play, as he finished with 11 tackles on the night, second only to Kevin Wood's career-high 12 after he started in place of Tyreke Davis. But he also acknowledged missing the two Davises was a detriment. "It certainly doesn't help to miss your two best players on defense," Littrell said. "But we're not making excuses. You just have to get better. I believe in (defensive coordinator Clint) Bowen and our staff. I believe they'll make the corrections. I believe in our kids. We just have to settle into our system and figure out what we're good and not good at." Aune said the offensive struggles early on were mostly self-inflicted but said the unit gained confidence after getting its first first down of the game after a couple of three-and-outs. In the second half, the Mean Green fared much better and scored 28 points. "Well, I don't think we started very fast in the first half, and that killed us," Aune said. "We came out in the second half and had good momentum and got our confidence up a lot. Penalties killed us in the first half. We'll look at the film and learn from it and be ready to go next week. "In the second half, we just came out hot," Aune added. "We made some plays and kept it going. We wish we could've done it from the start. It was a little too late, but I told our guys we were going to score and they continued to fight." Despite the tough loss to a rival, Aune said his team won't have a problem moving on and preparing for next week's road opener at Houston. "Yeah, it sucks but one game doesn't define you," Aune said. "We still have a lot to play for. There are a lot of teams on the schedule, so we'll continue to learn and get better." QUICK HITS The UNT loss takes SMU's advantage in the all-time series to 33-6-1 and the Mean Green move to 4-2 all-time against SMU in Denton. The Mean Green win puts the program record at 19-7 in Apogee Stadium under head coach Seth Littrell. The Mean Green are 1-1 at home this season. SMU's 65 points marked the first time UNT has allowed 60 or more points since Florida Atlantic scored 69 points on Oct. 21, 2017. Redshirt sophomore QB Jason Bean (Mansfield) finished the day 4-for-9 for 29 yards with a passing touchdown after drawing the start under center. Redshirt sophomore QB Austin Aune finished the game with 276 yards on 13-of-25 passing and two passing touchdowns and rushed for a score. His 5-yard touchdown run with 8:44 left to play in the third quarter was the first rushing touchdown of his career. Senior WR Jaelon Darden (Houston) had five catches on the day for 66 yards and two touchdowns, giving him five touchdown receptions through two games this season. Darden's 33-yard touchdown reception from Aune with 14:02 remaining in the game put him alone in second place on the program's all-time receiving touchdown list with 24. He now trails only Ron Shanklin (1967-69), who had 31 in his career. It was his 25th career touchdown (receiving/rushing/returns), and he is now alone in eighth place on the program's all-time list. His 12-yard touchdown reception from Bean with 8:31 left in the second quarter capped a 10-play scoring drive and was his 23rd touchdown reception of his career, moving him into a tie for second place on the program's all-time list with Troy Redwine (1992-95). His five catches on the day gives him 166 career receptions, putting him alone in fifth place on the program's all-time list. He passed Pete Harvey (1978-81) and now trails David Brown (1991-94) by 16 receptions to move into fourth place. Redshirt sophomore WR Roderic Burns (Houston) hauled in two catches for 66 yards, to tie his career high for catches in a game. Redshirt freshman RB Oscar Adaway III finished the night with 20 carries for 104 yards. The game marked Adaway III's second 100-yard rushing performance in as many games, as he had five carries for 118 yards and two touchdowns in UNT's season-opening win over Houston Baptist. Senior RB DeAndre Torrey (Gautier, Mississippi) had 45 yards and 14 carries and a touchdown. Torrey's 7-yard scoring scamper with 12:02 left in the third quarter was the 18th rushing touchdown of his career, putting him in a tie for 10th on the program's all-time list with Antoinne Jimmerson (2011-15) and Mitch Maher (1991-94). The 7-yard touchdown run also put Torrey in a tie for 10th place all-time on the program's career touchdowns (rushing/receiving/returns) list with 22. Sophomore WR Deonte Simpson (Beaumont, Texas) caught one ball for 55 yards and a touchdown. His 55-yard touchdown reception from Aune with 10:52 remaining was his first touchdown of the season. Sophomore LB Kevin Wood (Converse, Texas) led the team with 12 tackles to set a new career high. Redshirt senior LB Kyleb Howell (Lantana, Texas) made his first career start at linebacker and finished the game with 11 tackles.

I want to clear I don't think it is any shame coming from UNT grads but its places like SMU and other self absorbed types that seem to use it in a derogatory way.
-
I sort of like the way that they have embraced the North Texas State. For too long it was considered a badge of shame and used as a negative from our enemies like SMU. Why not embrace a good period in our history?

@Pavlovs Eagle we just updated the code for ANdroid - can you check and see if it is fixed for you now? thx -
I see this as a low(er) scoring game, as UNT will try to pound the ball at them and it will burn a fair amount of clock. I am going with my head and say 31-24 SMU.

This series is bigger than just a football game on the schedule. What happened way back in 1990 is just another example of this. Shout out to @PlummMeanGreenfor providing this archived video from the battle in Denton. IMG_0132.MOV

#PONYUPDALLAS In 2019, The Mustangs debuted Dallas-themed uniforms to symbolize the relationship between SMU and the city of Dallas in wins over North Texas on Sept. 7, No. 25 TCU on Sept. 21 and Houston on Oct. 24. SMU opened the season against Texas State in the Dallas jerseys. • The helmet decal featured the famous Triple D interlocked with the timeless SMU Pony, symbolizing the unity between the city of Dallas and SMU. • The stripe on the helmet and jersey sleeves pay homage to the Dallas Cowboys. • The number and pant stripe pay tribute to the 1966 Dallas Cowboys, led by quarterback and SMU alum Don Meredith. • The script 'Dallas' featured on the chest pays homage to SMU alum and AFL founder Lamar Hunt and the Dallas Texans. read more: https://smumustangs.com/news/2020/9/16/football-smu-plays-at-north-texas-saturday-at-5-pm-on-cbssn.aspx

The SMU Mustangs opened the 2020 college football season with a closer-than-expected 31-24 victory over Texas State two weeks ago. SMU was then forced to wait longer than anticipated for another chance to play when its rivalry game against TCU was postponed. However, the idle week allowed Sonny Dykes' team extra time to prepare for another rival, as the North Texas Mean Green is set to host the Mustangs Saturday in Denton. North Texas also opened the season with a win, beating FCS member Houston Baptist 57-31 in Week 1, and then spending two weeks preparing for the opportunity to move to 2-0. SMU at North Texas Kickoff: Saturday, Sept. 19, at 6 p.m. ET TV: CBSSN Spread: SMU -14 When SMU Has the Ball The SMU offense runs through Shane Buechele. The former Texas quarterback threw for 3,929 yards and 34 touchdowns with only 10 interceptions in 490 pass attempts in his first season with the Mustangs in 2019. Buechele accounted for 367 passing yards and a touchdown and averaged 10.2 yards per attempt while completing 72.2 percent of his passes against Texas State, but he was picked off twice. Top target Reggie Roberson Jr. caught six passes for 99 yards and a 51-yard score that proved to be the game-winner as it broke a 21-21 tie in the third quarter. Rashee Rice led the team with 101 yards on five catches, and junior college transfer Danny Gray, one of the fastest players in the country, caught four passes for 72 yards.

I stumbled on this article pertaining to a possible contest with Wichita State being affected: Now that the NCAA has finally locked in a start date, WSU can get to work to modify its nonconference schedule. According to reports, the pushed-back date will chop off approximately four nonconference games (WSU usually plays 12 or 13 in a season). The condensed time schedule shouldn’t impact marquee nonconference games for WSU against Oklahoma State, Mississippi or Missouri. How it might affect buy games that WSU has reportedly agreed to with Sam Houston State, North Texas, Oral Roberts, Western Kentucky and Central Arkansas remain to be seen. read more: https://www.kansas.com/sports/college/wichita-state/article245788165.html Read more here: https://www.kansas.com/sports/college/wichita-state/article245788165.html#storylink=cpy
