2,500/12 games = 208 yds per game

Just to compare : Vizza had 2,388 yds his 1st season ( 10 games) & 2758 yds his soph year

208ypg isn't all that much , but Riley will make up some would be passing yds with his feet by gaining them on the ground and you have to wonder if he can stay healthy for all 12 games in 09.

Agreed. If he goes <200 yds in more than one game, he ought to have a few 300+ yd games to more than make up for it. As you said, the only thing I could see stopping him from getting 2500 yds next season is injury. But if he is not able to play all 12 games:

11 games: 228 yds/game

10 games: 250 yds/game

9 games: 278 yds/game

8 games: 313 yds/game

So if he's good for 10 games or more, I think he definitely makes 2500.

OVER...I think the O line will be improved this season and I think Riley will be able to "avoid" some of the hits Vizza took...that and a tight end formation or two and it's 2500+ for sure!!!! GO MEAN GREEN!!!!

Counting the days down to kickoff...come on football....UNT football that is...

The Ball State and Alabama game will prevent us from having a 2600+ season. We may be right at 2500, but I have to go under on this one. Not to mention this season we may have a better ground attack that could take yards away from Dodge. But on the other hand if we throw the ball down field instead of to the sideline we may have a 3000+ season.

Our strength of schedule ought to be weaker this year than it was the past two years. Again, any 2-3 low yardage games will be more than made up elsewhere.

Vizza threw for 2758 in 2008, and 2388 in 2007 with only 8 starts. I'm not saying Riley will match that, but he ought to be close.

      Sorry, if you don't have an SEC or Big10 patch you're not on any lifeboat.

      blowing out a Q3 team should not matter that much, the predicted metrics had us winning by over 10 anyway. For a top 75 school to move up 10 spots at this point in the season usually takes something significant. Usually other schools need to drop down (Dayton did), also McNeese and has been looking good lately, that could also help.

      Agree with this. Denton has never embraced UNT as "it's" school to support with the town.

      Yes, the local media was really hyping the Blizzard of the Century coming today. I could also tell by the hoarding going on and low stock on shelves at the grocery stores.

      I believe we have had more games without classes in session. If someone has the academic calendar handy for this year and last, I can work up the exact numbers. Knowing we would have more games played during the academic break (and the horrible slate of games the AD put together) is exactly why it was critical for the AD to work extra hard getting the surrounding community to the games. I live too far away to know if they've done anything, but based on the results, I don't know if they have...certainly nothing that's moved the needle. It's like they just take time off when students aren't around. We need the so-called t-shirt fans from in and around Denton. What has the AD done to generate excitement and stimulate demand for the program? Whatever it is, it's been a complete failure IMHO. We have a team and program on the rise. It's WINNING games on a regular basis. Based on the last few years, we had a lot of momentum going into this season and it's been squandered in epic fashion. I doubt they are doing anything and just running out the clock waiting for the students to return so they can continue to do nothing. Here's an idea...It seems Jared enjoys his court-side seat. How about running a "switch seats with the AD" promotion? Each half one lucky attendee is drawn and gets to sit court-side and Jared moves to the cheap seats. Who knows, maybe you only get a handful of extra tickets out of it, but we're moving in the wrong direction.
