According to the game notes: On offense UNT started - 1 senior, 3 juniors, 5 sophmores and 2 freshmen...with our leading rusher and third leading receiver being two additional freshmen On defense UNT started - 3 seniors (1 was Ryan Davenport in his 1st season at DE), 3 juniors, 3 sophmores and 2 true freshmen This means 12 of 22 starters were underclassmen...with quite a few others as major contributors. The reason your expectations for these players is so high is that they're at a talent level that we really haven't seen here in a considerable amount of time...atleast since I've been following NT football...but they are also 18 and 19 year olds playing in their first or second college football games. I am by no means saying I'm satisfied or happy with our play and results...but to say there hasn't been improvement...or that the future does not look bright is to me just flat wrong. The defense thus far has been decimated by defections and injuries...Draylon Ross cracked the DL rotation this weekend, and hopefull Adryan Adams can come in and help the secondary soon. Also not sure why Kartay Agbottah was out this weekend. Despite this they made the same number of negative yardage plays (8) as the Tulsa defense...it may be grasping...but it is something On Riley...if he's the best option, get him on the field. The same people who are complaining that his playing now means he can't start at QB in 2012 are the same people most upset that we're not more competitive now. On Vizza...I think he needs to throw a pick. We liked the gunslinging mentality last season...before this year he made a defined effort to cut down on the mistakes, but I think its left him overthinking rather than reading and reacting. Oh...and lets not forget...we played a very good Tulsa team who's biggest test of the season will probably be against Arkansas...a team that just snuck past ULM.
