Why North Texas is primed for a defensive rebound

[Coach Andy Mac]

With all the issues, several familiar faces were relegated to support roles. Veteran Tyreke Davis, for example, fell to the eighth leading tackler on the team after playing just six games. Absences played a significant role in North Texas falling from a poor unit to statistically the worst defense in college football. 

That’s not an exaggeration. The Mean Green ranked last nationally at 522.1 yards allowed per game. The group ranked third-to-last in scoring defense, allowing more than 42.8 points per game. Comparatively, UNT finished 73 yards and 7.5 points per game behind any other opponent in Conference USA. 

There was a silver lining, though. That opened the door for younger contributors like Kevin Wood, Upton Stout and Jordan Brown to become major playmakers. Now, North Texas brings back virtually every contributor on the two-deep.

Of course, some of us drink maybe a bit too much green kool-ade (which has been known to turn into margaritas) but...barring another world pandemic, I look for the Phil Bennett “D” at North Texas to be the talk of next winter’s NCAA Convention.
