"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.

      UNT vs Texas State BOWL GAME THREAD!!

      I agree, but that’s not the way it’s presented here. EVERYTHING is the coaches fault according to many on this forum.

      Yes, EM has very similar records to SL, but are we not in a better conference, playing better teams? The AAC was 6-2 in bowl games, C-USA was 1-4. This is an important aspect that is always overlooked in the EM vs SL argument. Also, SL didn’t have to deal with NIL or the portal (granted, it’s possible he would have handled it well, but I have my doubts). Finally, I just don’t feel like we get our asses handed to us near as much as with SL. I know there are those that say “a loss is a loss,” but I’d much rather lose by one score instead of three score. I looked up the numbers at one time, but the number of 21+ point losses under SL was just crazy. In the past two seasons we have 10 conference losses, and 6 of those have been one score games. Only twice have we been throttled in conference…last year vs SMU and this year vs UTSA. This year we lost to 3 of the top 4 teams in the conference (Army, Tulane, and Memphis). Last year we lost to the top 4 teams in the conference (SMU, Tulane, Memphis, and UTSA). That’s bad luck on scheduling to even have to play all of the top teams in the conference. None of this is meant as praise for EM. I’m just saying that I think it’s obviously better than SL. I’ll give the rest of the argument as I honestly don’t have a clue.

      I don't have much to add other than to say I agree with you. We seem to have a lot of fans that just enjoy mediocrity and moral victories. BuT We PlAyEd BeTtEr FoR oNe GaMe, We aRe GoInG sOmEwHeRe
