SUNBELT PREVIEW

http://www.pigskinpress.com/sunbelt_conference.html

3. North Texas- This is the wild card team of the Sun Belt. A potent offense with nine returning starters including RB Jamario Thomas and WR Johhny Quinn. Thomas was anything but spectacular in his sophomore year after taking the nation by storm with over 1800yds in 2004. Look for Quinn to finally meet his potential with a break-out season. The defense will need to improve the pass rush to keep conference QB's in check. If all things click, the "Mean Green" could win the conference again. Look for a possible upset over Tulsa on Sept. 16th.

PROJECTED RECORD 6-6

Well, all I can say is let's not disappoint this guy.

I love the optimism we are getting in the press. The wild-card for our team is still at the QB position. I think the prognosticators at PP are off a bit on the 6-6, but I have us 8-4 and winning the conference. I see losses at UT, Tulsa, Akron, and Ark. State. (I hope I'm wrong about Akron, but OOC games are just not predictable wins right now)

I'll take 8-4 and a trip to the Bowl. We had a blast there last year and our team wasnt even in it.. Making it back now would be sweet! With exception to a few (yes LoveMG, I include you here) I think most of us would be happy with a conference title and N.O. bowl bid.

GMG!!!

This may have been posted, but CBS Sportsline mag has UNT picked to finish 2nd in the SBC, and a generally positive write up, as well.

There's a lot riding on the performance of the QB, but when we had Scott Hall, he was a big part of how the offense did- even when the ball wasn't in his hands. I think someone referred to him as a "field general". Even if the starting QB doesn't get to pass often (like Hall), it's still important for him to exercise the same leadership Hall had.
