excerpts from the Jonesboro Sun:

...Arkansas State isn’t the only Sun Belt Conference school with quarterback question marks.

Several coaches from around the league said they hadn’t solidified their No. 1 quarterback by the end of spring football practices last week during Tuesday’s Sun Belt Conference teleconference.

Arkansas State, which won the league with a 5-2 record in conference play last year, will have a new starter at quarterback next season following the departure of senior Nick Noce. ASU finished its spring practices with redshirt freshman Corey Leonard and sophomore Travis Hewitt still battling for the position...

...North Texas coach Darrell Dickey said he believes his team is in much better shape at quarterback following the spring work.

“I’m much more pleased this year at this time than I was last year at this time,” Dickey said. “ ... This year we have got three young men that we think can play and they are all taking care of their business off the field. Meager went through spring but had some days he missed. Matt Phillips had an excellent spring, probably better than anybody. And Woody Wilson, a junior college guy that we signed, really showed signs that he can do some of the things that we’d like to do offensively.” ...

...[uL-Monroe] will look to sophomore Kinsmon Lancaster as Jyles’ replacement. Lancaster played sparingly last season at quarterback as Jyles’ backup and also some at receiver and slot.

“He’s a guy that is an athletic young man, that is sharp and very intelligent,” ULM coach Charlie Weatherbie said. “We believe he’ll lead this football team..."

...Florida Atlantic, which finished tied for last in the Sun Belt, is still looking for a new quarterback for the fall. The Owls were steered by senior Danny Embrick last season but came out of spring workouts with nothing settled.

Among the competition for the starting job is sophomore McKinson Souverain, junior Sean Clayton and redshirt freshman Rusty Smith. Clayton and Souverain both saw action last year with Clayton taking the majority of the snaps as the backup...

...Troy coach Larry Blakeney said his spring workouts produced a quarterback that was well ahead of the pack.

Omar Haugabook, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound junior college transfer, will go into fall as the Owls’ starter. Haugabook beat out returning senior QB Carl Meadows among several others as the Trojans switch gears to a more pass-oriented offense...

...Middle Tennessee returns Clint Marks for his senior season, while Florida International will return Josh Padrick for his senior year. Louisiana-Lafayette quarterbacks Michael Desormeaux, a sophomore, and senior Jerry Babb also return with Desormeaux the likely starter...

Since when were Trojans nicknamed Owls? huh.gif

Isn't Babb something like a 10th year Senior? blink.gifblink.gifblink.gif

After the way Babb played against us last year they might designate him as the starter for the North Texas game regardless of how he plays leading up to it.

      We do alright with the North Texas chant sometimes, we just need to make it a staple and I think people will do it.

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.

      So a lot of you think that NT is not deserving of your valuable fandom. I actually was proud of the team that continue to battle with a completely revamped lineup including a completely untested QB. Yeah and spare me the low expectations accusations that are usually leveled at anyone that dares to not rave and rant about a loss.
