2002 Defense.

All of them, including DeLoach.

Craig Jones & Jonas Buckles

I miss the days of seeing them absolutely destroy people coming across the middle of the field.

Iseed Khoury, Hayden Fry's kicker. He was a character both on and off the field. Still is a character, last I heard was coaching soccer at Denton High. Would have liked to have seen Tommy Nelson play (now Senior Pastor at Denton Bible) just because of the stories he tells. Believe me, North Texas football gets a lot of mileage in his sermons.

OOPS! Lifer, didn't read what you were looking for. I liked on defense, nose guard Walter Chapman. He was a really big nose tackle from Blooming Grove I think, and anchored Coach Fry's defensive lines. He was 5'5" to 5'7" and probably just as wide, but really plugged the middle.

The entire 1967 and 68 defense. It will never be repeated. There have been some good ones since then, too.

I miss Jonas Buckles. Booger got the most press, but Jonas just hit people so hard...

Anyone know what he's doing these days?

[UNTLifer]

No Don McGee or Adrian Awasom?

I thought about McGee but went with two NFL'ers instead and decided to choose Daniels over Awasom. There were a few other tough choices/omissions.

[GreenBat]

Got to go with Jonas Buckles. Never seen one man F up so many people.

[Dodge2007]

Hands down, Mean Joe. The only player who the country sees aligned with North Texas.

Easily #92 - Booger Kennedy - watching him blow through double-teams like he was going up against high-school kids. Those were some good times...

[EagleMBA]

I have seen several REALLY GREAT defensive players play, and my hat is off to every one of them. If I HAD to choose one, it would be Booger Kennedy. I love watching him on the old season highlights videos. I will never forget sitting in Austin traffic after the 27-0 game and listening to the postgame show. Mack sounded a little disspirited, praised Booger as an All-American, said Texas couldn't block him all night, and that we were a good team and would win our conference ...and we did.

I would take the 2002 defense. I loved watching Booger, the 3 linebackers were great and whew, the secondary was first rate! There were so many great players on that defense!! Man....I wish they were still playing!
