"Our secondary last year was ranked 112th so we have a big hump on our back,'' said senior cornerback Keon Raymond. "We feel like we've got something to prove.''

The Blue Raiders allowed an average of 273.45 passing yards per game and 20 touchdown passes last season. Only five Division I-A teams allowed more passing yards.

The defense was considerably better against the rush, ranked 45th nationally, allowing just 138.8 yards per game.

Because they need all the help they can get to defend our passing game. Heck! run a 3 - 1 - 7 defense, thats more than UNT can handle in the trenches!

who could UNT, for all the non-BCS SBC dwellers they are, have in THEIR backfield?! Heaven forbid our wealth at QB rips them apart with our prolific west-coast offense.

2004 vs. MTSU: JT 36-179-2

2003 vs MTSU: Cobbs 32-133-1

2004: Quinn 6-153-1

2003: Nwigwe 3-158-2

ALL FOUR OF THEM ARE BACK.

I think it was a Dan Marino interview I read once. When asked what it takes to make a pro bowl qb, he responded to the effect of "an all star cast around you".

I can't wait, I'm so excited.

      Keebler has to go!

      I've been griping about this for decades at this point. It is amazingly dumb and does nothing for us. Did he have a better deal on the table? Unlikely.. Would it keep him here if he did well and a big program came calling. No. It doesn't do a dang thing for us. Yet again, and again,and again, and again we do it. It costs us every single time.

      The point stands that we aren’t buying out three years of Morris’ contract. He will got one more year, at least, to sell the leadership on why he should keep his job.

      Keebler has to go!

      It’s simply a coach’s decision imo. In 2009 I watched TCU’s Jaden Oberkrom line up and attempt a 60 yarder for Arlington Martin vs Trinity at Pennington….as a Freshman. Trinity jumped off sides so he kicked from 55 and just missed to the right by a foot. It would have been good from 65. I promise he was kicking in Junior High and if he wasn’t that’s all on the coaches.. Both years my son played for Weatherford Hall Middle School against Aledo, 7th and 8th grade, Aledo kicked all their extra points. It’s part of the game, and Aledo hires people that demand all of the game be taught and coached. Nothing about their special teams are missed, just like the rest of their game. But this didn’t surprise anyone because Aledo had just had a kid, Chance Nevarez on their varsity set the national record for the most extra points made in a row. Buchanon demanded it, so his Junior High coaches demanded it. So just like everything, if a coach decides it’s not in his interest then he’s not gonna demand it and coach it. Same for installing a short yardage play from under center. If the coach isn’t interested in it and instead thinks handing off 5 yards deep to make 6 inches is the best way, despite how many times he’s seen that not work….then his team will never develop one. Same for kickers in Junior high. Rick
