UNT Mean Green

Agreed. This was atrocious to watch on Monday night.

This is an outstanding plan that makes a ton of sense for all involved. Furthermore, it would make sense to have playoffs for every level (P5, G5, FCS, D2, D3) so that the G5 member schools have a realistic shot at playing for a championship. It would basically be like the Texas High School playoff system. As Wren has said time and time again, geography needs to play a role, and hopefully some common sense will prevail through this realignment process.

NW State had some good players in the secondary. Very tall corners who could run.

Ruder and the offense gave me plenty of room for optimism moving forward. Continued improvement through repetition, and cleaning up plenty of fundamental issues from the first game will lead us to one of the most exciting offenses we’ve seen in Denton. This is a talented roster that needs some experience playing together, and we can be very dangerous.

It was hard to make out what to think of the Blazers. Undisciplined for certain. They are definitely physically imposing on the lines. Defensively they played excellent on the edges (why did Jacksonville State continue to force this?). QB looks solid, and obviously Clark has his style of play that he wants to have (defense, clock control, etc.). Two weeks away will be a lot of fun in Apogee. HUGE game!

Excellent article by John Fields. Excited to see these guys fly around on Saturday in Apogee!

Nice. Have to admit Daizion was not a prized recruit due to his senior season injury, but he has worked extremely hard and is a key cog for this Mean Green offensive line that has come very far under Coach Bloesch.

Hoping for a big year from 3 (can't we all remember him in 2018). Happy to see him be a captain and a leader on this team!

Reverse the Curse! 🤣

Yes, and Jacksonville State has a consistent football program.

Sharp! Nicely done by the UNT Football Equipment staff! Can't wait to see these on Saturday...GMG!

Thanks for posting. Love reading some of the facts and stats in these!

We should now compare notes to those prognostications made during fall camp... ...and how about the amount of remaining eligibility left on this 2 deep? The only players with expiring eligibility are Torrey, Hill, Novil, Colvin, and Sanders.

Mean Green - 57 Demons - 17 (similar to the Lamar game a few years ago)

Great research and write up @Brett Vito! Neat storyline on the most intriguing position group on the team. Love seeing Ruder’s approach to getting here, getting settled, and getting straight to work with off-season training and call camp. Looking forward to seeing how this race shakes out, and grateful that we have three first-class young men wearing the Mean Green uniform.

Really excited to have 97 back anchoring that DL! Should be our most improved position group this season with a 4 man base that moves around, slants, twists and stunts versus being 3 statues in 2020. Lots of young quality depth at that position group, and thankful that Novil can mentor the underclassmen.

What are ya'lls thoughts on the RB position now with Adaway out? Who starts and how do the carries look? What are the W/L predictions for the month of September games? Explain.

Very impressive for Ruder to pick things up that quickly. He's clearly an intelligent kid who is willing to put in the work to pickup the offense in such a short amount of time. Love to have a real competition at QB!

Usually in the Game Notes on Monday's of Game Week.

Our new leader at inside WR

Excellent article. I fully believe this is where we will see the most difference on our team this fall. Love that we have Hill, Jackson, and Brown as quality depth and aren’t having to play guys out of necessity.

Didn’t participate, saw him sitting in a chair near the tunnel on the home side for a little bit.

Worst: 4-8 (wins over NW State, FIU, Rice, UTEP) Best: 12-2 (wins over everyone but Missouri & Liberty) with a berth in local bowl which draws a massive Mean Green contingent

Wish Coach Langston nothing but the best at West Brook! They were in the state championship game in 2018 with our own Deonte Simpson and Damon Ward (who was out with injury).

Let's remember both Torrey and Adaway were hurt last season, and we need both in their prime this fall! The 2018 version of Torrey was outstanding and we've all been patiently awaiting 27 being our RB who carries the load.
