1. The North Texas Mean Green offense

North Texas had one of the nation's most abysmal offenses over the last two years, and was brutal when it came to throwing the ball, averaging just 115 passing yards per game last season with only one game over 200 yards. In comes legendary Texas high school head coach Todd Dodge, whose spread passing attack dominated over the last several years. The offense didn't do much in the 79-10 loss to Oklahoma to start the season, and then it went ballistic against SMU.

The numbers aren't real, even in a world with Colt Brennan. 601 passing yards from Daniel Meager. 18 catches for 327 yards and two touchdown from Casey Fitzgerald. Ten catches for 133 yards and a score from Brandon Jackson. Korey Washington, the number three receiver, caught eight passes for 70 yards. Considering no one in the Sun Belt throws the forward pass with any regularity, it'll be interesting to note what the attack does in the opener against Florida Atlantic this week. It'll also be interesting to see how long Dodge sticks

FWIW, can't the same thing be said for most any up & comer college coach at most any NCAA D1-A school except (perhaps) a handful? Why can't these sportswriters worry about the price of wheat in Russian rather than how long a coach "sticks" at said school on the rise?

Just my .02... :no:
