If someone can pick up recap duties tonight it would be much appreciated!

To my recollection, here is a majority of what was talked about during last night's show.....

-Mac was in a really good mood last night. It was a well attended event including the coaches wives of McCarney, Quartaro, Nelson and Skladany.

-Mac said the team during his time as North Texas Head Coach has won the next game during the season in which they have had more than one week off between games.

-The coaches took Saturday off this past weekend for the first time since July. On Sunday they arrived early to break down game film of the MUTS vs Mississippi State game. Even though the Sunbelt's leading rusher RB Benny Cunningham is lost for the season with an injury, MUTS does have a group of younger talented RB's to replace him. MUTS does use a Hurry Up Offense.

-Zac Whitfield was first approached in spring ball to move to Cornerback. The actual change from RB did not occur until August when it was determined he could not break into the top 3 RB positions.

-+6 Turnover Margin for the season which is very good except we have only recovered four of the opposition's fumbles. Mac said that must improve. They work on ripping the ball from the ball carrier every week in practice.

-Five Sunbelt teams have an over .500 overall season record which George said is the most they have ever had in the league. There is a five way second place tie at 2-1 in the conference with Troy close by at 3-2.

-George made mention of Zach Orr being the Sunbelt Defensive Player of the Week which has not happened in a while.

-Antoine Jimmerson's two receiving TD's marked the first time a North Texas RB has had two TD receptions in a game in 10 years.

-A question from the audience was asked to Mac about the status of any injured players. Mac said he has a policy that he only talks about injuries if it is season ending which is the case for Derek Teegarden with a broken finger in the ULL game. Mac does not want the opposition to know that a particular player has a specific injury and the opposition might use that information to their advantage.

-A question was written on a napkin asking if Will Atterberry was given a game ball from his performance against ULL. Mac said all the coaches determine who gets game balls and the decision was made to give one to Jimmerson and another to Coach Skladany. Mac went on to talk about how well Atterberry played. He said Will is a very coachable player as he does everything they ask of him from directional punts to deep punts to really high punts. Mac also complimented Zach Olen's performance.

-Facebook with Poppy:

-Any chance we will see more of Carlos Harris? Mac said Carlos is smart enough and skilled enough to see more playing time. However with him

being a true freshman not everything has clicked yet particularly when it comes to blocking but Mac does see Carlos with more playing time

very soon.

-Comment about the OLine only allowing three sacks this season all of which were against Kansas State. Mac commented about how well

Coleman Feeley and LaChris Anyiam were playing. This season is the most Coleman has played in his career and LaChris "had one foot out of

door last year" but fortunately stayed on the team. Only six Offensive Lineman have played in games this season.

-As always when the radio show comes back from a commercial break the audio of a prior week highlight play is played. When they played back George's play by play call of Jimmerson's 72 yard screen pass, Mac said that replay gave him goose bumps all over his arms.

GMG! BEAT MUTS!
