We need D'leon McCord (CB) to step up, and it looked like he did well against Clemson. I look for Aaron Bellazin (DE) to be an absolute beast by the time he finishes his time suiting up for the Mean Green, and I think he will be solid when called upon this year. The same goes for Zach Orr (MLB).

For the casual fan who may not have his Dave Campbell's Texas football handy or UNT online media guide, any of you who might respond to this please describe the positions that each player you hope steps up plays? Thanks in advance. :thumbsup:

Oh, Hell...Derek Thompson.

:lol::clapping: I was wondering who would be the first! Way to go, Censored by Laurie!

IMHO and as a member of the Monday morning QB club, Derek has a promising future at UNT and in the past at UNT, we have always had a need for a formidable 2'nd string QB of whom many stepped up numerous times to win games when our #1 QB had an off day.

Also, I hesitiate to use the "I" word or, that is, when a team is forced to go to the #2 QB. (That's when you better have a decent #3 QB).

It seems several years ago TCU won a bowl game with a 5'th year QB who did not start for the Frogs until his.........5'th year. :thumbsup: I remember admiring that 5'th year TCU QB for hanging around that long to reap his personal and team rewards.

GMG!

      #Hit6?

      Before the season, my measurement of whether UNT had gotten better under Eric Morris was seven wins. I don't want to settle for six. Especially after getting to five as quickly as we did.

      Quick Thoughts: Army Shuts Down North Texas

      Indeed, it seemed at times like North Texas wanted to out-Army the Black Knights. The Mean Green attempted a minimal number of deep shots, settling instead for short throws that resulted in a bare 5.8 yards/pass. They also went for it 5 separate times on fourth down, converting 3 attempts in impressive fashion. In taking what Army’s defense gave them, their first drive went a whopping *18* plays in just under seven minutes. That was great in concept, but as noted, Army only gave up a field goal off that first drive. The Black Knights then countered with their own 9-play drive that went for a touchdown, followed by a 14-play drive that netted no points but ate up damn-near the rest of the first half. When the Mean Green’s first possession of the second half went three-and-out, it meant that they’d held the ball for all of 38 seconds in the third quarter. Their offense sat on the sidelines for over thirty minutes of real time! North Texas did a nice job countering Army’s triple-option, forcing an interception, a fumble, and a punt. They kept Army’s explosive plays in check, making the Black Knights earn it one play at a time. However, they ultimately gave up 4.6 yards/carry. That final tally didn’t do a lot to get Army off the field. The Black Knights wound up going an outstanding 9/14 on third down and 3/3 on fourth down. With that, they held the ball for almost 42 minutes total. Time of possession might not be the be-all, end-all of college football, but when the other team is holding the ball, and they’re also scoring touchdowns, it becomes a problem. North Texas couldn’t get off the field on defense, and they also couldn’t score. By comparison, Army’s defense forced exactly one punt, but they stood tall in the red zone three times, once with an amazing goal line stand that started at their own 1-yard-line and twice by generating interceptions from something like 10 yards out. read more: https://www.asforfootball.com/2024/11/10/quick-thoughts-army-shuts-down-north-texas/
