Korona also had offers from Washington State, Kansas, SMU, Houston, Tulsa, Texas-San Antonio and North Texas State. Duke's academics were a major influence in his decision, but he also sees a winning football program being built.

Korona was playing tight end as a junior but was moved to left tackle to fill in for an injured player and became an honorable mention all-district player. He has 5.1-second speed and also competes in the discus and shot put for his school's track-and-field team.

Korona said that Duke recruited him to play either offensive tackle position.

"I just kept getting better and better at tackle last season," he said. "I've built my strength and my confidence since then. I need to put on a few more pounds, and I'm sure I'll be redshirted, but right now I live in the weight room."

We have been UNT since 1988.. .how the hell do we keep getting called NTSU?

Blame the old dudes. I'm guessing that it will go away in time, but the fact is that most of our "national success" occurred when we were known as NTSU. Excepting the fairly recent N.O. Bowl run of course. I suspect that this will finally start to go away for good after this upcoming athletic year.

      Go to YOUTUBE and request Army/UNT highlights. They had them a few hours after the game yesterday. I don't know about the entire game.

      ***OFFICIAL ARMY VS MEAN GREEN IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      The stats with context tell us more. I feel like Army kept the defense on the field on purpose to limit a famously high flying North Texas team. I agree we had turnovers- how effective were they? How many 1st downs did army have in a single drive? Army never turned the ball over on downs with high 3rd down efficiency. We lucked out on the fumble from the RB. How long did it take to get the turnover? How was the field position that the defense earned? Those are better questions. Our defense did a lot and I loved seeing the sack, near fumble (ruled an incompletion), interception, and lack of penalties(that pass interference in the red zone hurt) to deflate their passing game- all 4 attempts. Then, they took us on the ground. Daily slid early to drain more time on a run near the 50. They line up with the same formation for an easy read to gain a yard or two, but, more importantly, the clock starts back up. This was triple option football and I feel like we failed to disrupt their plans. I want us to be better on all sides of the ball. I don’t a moral victory. I want us to acknowledge that Army, just like Tulane 2 weeks ago, used the run effectively against the defense. However, they used it to play at their tempo/style limiting our offense time on the field. I love the heart these players showed. I feel like any one of those teams from Army’s past 13 games are not the caliber we should be proud of being better than (except Coastal and Navy). Watching at army launch the ball vs Temple, Tulsa, & UAB was insane. But Daily is a okay QB that fits the triple option scheme as a runner primarily. Horvath is a miracle for service academy passing. Daily has 51 passing attempts YTD versus Horvath’s monstrous 117 attempts for a service academy. Daily has the same interception rate as Henigan. I’ll see y’all in San Antonio. I’m still excited to see this team play and I know we can win out the season. I just feel like they were par for the course this Army weekend. If anyone complained about the DC all season, this game should not sway someone.
