North Texas' Stevenson Earns Conference Honors

Courtesy: University of North Texas

Release: 10/15/2007

DENTON, Texas (10/15/07) - Following his 10 tackles and interception return for a touchdown, North Texas’ Montey Stevenson has been named Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week

Stevenson, a senior from Alvarado, Texas, had a career-high in tackles and sacks to lead all defenders in North Texas’ 31-21 win over Louisiana-Monroe. Stevenson also recorded his first career interception and returned it 20 yards for a touchdown to give North Texas a 7-0 lead in the second quarter. It was the first interception return for a touchdown by a North Texas player since the first game of the 2005 season.

Stevenson led the charge against the Louisiana-Monroe rushing attack that came into the game averaging 224 yards, holding the Warhawks to just 130 on the ground. Stevenson was also a big part of holding all-conference running back Calvin Dawson to just 65 yards, which broke the nation’s longest consecutive 100-yard rushing games at 10. Both of Stevenson’s tackles for loss came against Dawson.

Well deserved. Did anyone else think that Joseph Miller had a particularly good game?

Joseph Miller was a monster. I didn't really realize it until I watched the TV broadcast last night. The d-line played lights out!

I was one that called the D-line out earlier in the season but I can say that they made me eat my words with their performance on Saturday. They had great pressure all night. They really seemed to be getting their hands up to knock balls down and they were generally a menace all night long. Kudos on their performance

I thought both Stevenson and Miller had great time manhandling the

LaLaMon OL. Great focus and effort.

Two others that I thought had very good defensive play were E. Gilmore at

DE and C. Robertson at LB.

Add Aaron Weathers to the list, and you have those who played some lights-out D.

      Let’s start with Odom as our interim DC. I heard he was also interim DC for USC not long ago? Anyone know what’s his story?

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!
