MU Opponent North Texas seeks consistency

Editor's note: This is the eighth part of a series looking ahead to Marshall University football opponents in the 2015 season. North Texas visits Marshall on Oct. 24.

HUNTINGTON — As the old addge goes, if you have three quarterbacks, you really have none.

There are exceptions to the rule in some cases, such as Marshall University two years ago when it had Rakeem Cato and Blake Frohnapfel.

North Texas, however, is not Marshall circa 2013.

The Mean Green had three quarterbacks get on the field in 2014 and all of them suffered the same fate of inconsistency.

The result was a paltry offense that put the defense on the field for too many snaps, which resulted in a broken down team that crumbled to a 4-8 record.

Coming off a nine-win season in 2013, that demise was a complete disappointment — so much so that defensive coordinator John Skladany retired following the season.
So, as the 2015 season gets started, there is a major cause for uncertainty.

The offense will once again likely have Andrew McNulty at quarterback, but he only came in as the third option during the 2014 season after others faltered. In a perfect world, Dajon Williams or a trio of newcomers would' have likely outperformed McNulty and taken the reins to provide a bit more optimism after McNulty was mediocre at best in 2014.

McNulty finished 2014 throwing for 1,295 yards with six touchdowns and seven interceptions in 10 games.

With the lack of a bona fide quarterback, teams were able to stack the run against the North Texas offensive front, who also is thin as 2015 begins.
