First Impressions
-- That wasn't so bad, was it? Sure, a 41-14 box score isn't getting printed out and placed on anyone's refrigerator with a gold star, but things could have gone a lot worse.
-- Warning: excuse alert. The final score wasn't really indicative of the game itself.
-- Speaking of gold stars, can we get one for defensive back Hilbert Jackson? That guy sent LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger into another dimension, and Mettenberger isn't a shrimp either. YouTube the sack now. We'll wait.
-- There were reasons to be happy with NT's defensive effort (more on why later because someone's inevitably going to point out the fact that LSU had 500 yards of offense).
-- On the flip side, North Texas' offensive performance was about what you would expect against a defense like the one LSU has.
-- The Tigers are going to compete for a SEC West title. They're good, y'all.
-- Player of the game honors for North Texas goes to receiver Brelan Chancellor, who had four catches for 114 yards and two touchdowns.
-- Chancellor outran LSU defenders on an 80-yard touchdown catch and run. I repeat, Chancellor outran LSU defenders.
-- I mean, he flat-out ran away from them. This cannot be emphasized enough.
-- Tiger Stadium is one of the great game day atmospheres in college football. Saturday was a money game for North Texas, but it's a bucket list item for any college football fan.
