Players who caught your eye tonight vs. Lamar?

[Harry]

True Frosh Tony Krasniqi  recorded the first sack of his career.  

True freshman running back Evan Johnson made his debut Saturday, rushing for 98 yards.

Redshirt freshman running back Nic Smith made his Mean Green debut, for 101 yards and scoring his first two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving.

Sophomore wide receiver Michael Lawrence scored the first touchdown of his career on a 44-yard pass from Mason Fine in the second quarter.

Junior wide receiver Quinetin Jackson caught his first career touchdown pass on his first career reception, a 31-yard toss from quarterback Mason Fine to put North Texas up 14-0 in the first quarter.

Evan Johnson for me, little guy but he absolutely trucked a couple of guys. He runs like he's angry.

[UNT86]

How about my adopted player #21 Nic Smith? 

First Freshman to rush for 100 yards since Jamario in 2007.

Evan Johnson looked awesome. Sucks he had a stat correction to put him back under 100 yards.

Smith and Johnson

Krasniqui.

LeMasters caught my eye, when the guy was on the field he seemed to be everywhere.  He made a lot of tackles and had the pass interception.  He seemed to be really quick.

The running back depth is impressive. WR too, especially once another sophomore Rico Bussey is back in lineup. Good news is that most of those guys have 2-3 years of eligibility remaining.

*LeMasters? I coached him for a season of basketball his sophomore year.  He was a hard nosed kid who just worked his butt off.  Not very good at bball lol I text him from time to time and remind him.  He always replies, Coach you know I can ball!"

Krasniqi looks like a play maker.  We'll see how he does next week against FBS talent, but he consistently got pressure last night.

Also liked what I saw from Guyton.  Catches the ball with his hands and uses his body to feel/absorb contact.  Looks like he'll be a solid possession guy.

spell check got me.

I would like to see them target Smith and Chumley more, specifically Smith. He's a thick body that presents his numbers well to the QB and has soft hands. 5 or 6 targets a game at minimum would be ideal. Force defenses to change their defense to allow more and bigger lanes for our talented running back corp. 

With the pieces this offense has, if play called to our favor, could be very dangerous. 

Defense was called very manila last night as well, but that's to be expected given the opponent paired with next weeks opponent.

He had a slow start, but after he got comfortable, he really made some plays. Our future looks bright at LB.

I thought Colton McDonald had a pretty good game, ended up being the 2nd leading tackler. 

And of course, my adopted player "The Standard" Mike Lawrence played great!
