Who Other Than Riley

Cam and every member of the defense.

As great as Cam was and as great a job Riley did running the offense in his first game, the big headline was this defense - the worst defense in the country for two years - going on the road against a bowl team that was 12-2 a year ago and shutting them out in the first half and holding them to 10 points for the game. Held them to fewer points that Ball State was favored by.

Tip of the hat to Deloach, but it took those players to execute his defense and make it happen. That is a tremendous turnaround.

How 'bout some love for "the big uglies"? Anyone on the O line could be named here. We had a freshman QB....who didn't get sacked. The snaps back to him in the shotgun were all perfect. The line opened up enough holes for us to rush for 296 yards.

So, I'll say the O line. But if you make me pick just one: JJ Johnson

Ditto... Except I would choose Gill as the one lineman for specific recognition. Rewatching the game on the DVR, you can really see his dominance in this game

Like Smitty said, Montgomery and the defense as a unit because that's exactly what they played as - a unit.

Cam ran all over the BSU defense and looked incredibly strong for a Sun Belt running back (understand this is the perception that most will have - I've seen Jamario Thomas play in person), dragging defenders on multiple occasions. I'm predicting a great year for Cam and the running backs. Hope Micah Mosley can earn some more playing time, that dude's a fighter.

It's funny you mention that cause for me the biggest surprise was Matt Tomlinson...maybe I was seeing things but Tomlinson looked like he played ALOT in that game and played well. Not too bad for a freshman!

I agree with you on Tomlinson's play but not his classification. He is a sophomore.

As good as the defense was, I had to vote for Cam on this one. He had two key runs and a pass reception to keep drives alive. His run total places him ninth in the country. By the way, a key block on the pass reception to get us out of the shadows of our goal post was thrown by Matt Tomlinson.

Not that NT has much luck at this, but wouldn't Tomlinson be a good candidate for a medical hardship waiver.

A soph?? really?? Seems like he's been around longer than that. Did he redshirt then get a med redshirt?

Matt was in TD's first recruiting class. His first year 2007....he was redshirted. Last year he was a redshirt freshman. And now he's a sophomore.

Offensive Line... The wholes Cam and Lance were hitting were huge... And in the 4th quarter, it really looked likd Sack State dl and lb's didn't want to get hit in the mout anymore... I loved our impose our will, clock chewing final drive.... That was breaking the other teams will and clsing the deal...

      UNT Basketball Wins Fifth Straight With 77-64 Win Over FAU

      DENTON – The UNT men’s basketball remained undefeated at home with a 77-64 win over Florida Atlantic at the Super Pit Sunday. Moulaye Sissoko recorded his second double-double of the season and third of his career on 14 points and a season-high 13 rebounds. Sissoko has now scored double-digit points in four consecutive games, extending his career-long streak. North Texas (15-4, 6-1), who trailed by seven at the half, scored 50 points in the second half to earn its fourth come from behind win of the season. It’s the most points UNT has scored in a half against a conference opponent since scoring 55 against Rice on Dec. 29, 2018. “I give coach [John] Jakus and his staff a lot of credit, they came in with a big spirit,” UNT head coach Ross Hodge said. “I thought with eight minutes to go in the first half, we started getting a little more active, started getting some more turnovers and cut into the lead.” The Owls (10-10, 3-4) got their early lead behind Kaleb Glenn, as his 11 points at half led Florida Atlantic to the 34-27 lead at the break. UNT’s offensive explosion in the second half was led by Brenen Lorient, who built upon his five points in the first half with 12 in the second half. The Mean Green also took care of the ball as they finished with 10 assists and just five turnovers on the day. The Mean Green took the lead at the 11:07 mark of the second half on a Sissoko jumper and did not look back. Lorient finished with 17 points, his 11th double-digit performance of the season. Atin Wright also scored 17 points, going 4-8 from 3-point range. Sunday’s win also ends a five-game losing streak to FAU and is North Texas’ fifth straight overall win this year, which is a season best. They are now 11-0 at home for the first time since the 2010-11 season. Next up, North Texas heads to Wichita State on Wednesday at Koch Arena. The contest tips off at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN+ and the Mean Green Sports Network presented by Learfield.

      Man, Moulaye Sissoko has been the man lately. Goes 14/13 today, plays the most minutes and is a beast in the paint. Flour was also terrific, but the big guy kept us in the game early and was so solid all night.

      SUMG, FFR gets the credit for that one. The younger amongst us probably had never heard it, but jumped right aboard! GMG
