UNT player makes list of top Texas running backs

[Harry]

The guys over at the Morning News put out a slide show/list of the top running backs in Texas college football today.

A UNT player made the list that brings up an interesting debate.

The Morning News has Brandin Byrd listed as the 15th-best back in the state.

I won’t go through the whole list. Go ahead and click through it.

What is up for debate is this — Just who is UNT’s best back?

Byrd is a power guy who picked up 860 yards at 4.2 yards a pop and scored four touchdowns last season. He looked a lot quicker in the spring.

So a guy who has never played a down of D-1 football is ranked well above Byrd and several others?

[UNT Five&Dime]

So if there's twelve D-1 schools in Texas, this is probably a bad thing?

well, ut has 3 on the list, baylor has 2, i think a&m has 2, so it's not just one per school.

That doesn't make me feel better.

That doesn't make me feel better.

maybe the fact that neither TxState nor UTSA have anyone on the list does?

So it's come to that....

As long as you keep them away from weed and don't make them think you have their flatscreen tv they're just fine.

How you gonna manage that first one down in Austin? Hard enough up in Denton.

I know two people that played football at UT and both got suspended for smoking weed. Every year I read about more and more of their players failing drug tests.

Dear Brett Vito,

Byrd is not a power back, he just runs north-south. Jimmerson and Pegram are both bigger. See lack of red-zone production for evidence.

PS Jimmerson rules.

Keep ours out of department stores with backpacks and we're just fine.

And make sure they pee before they leave the bar.

Though I'd feel much better if we had more of the top players (backs or otherwise), I do feel slightly better when the teams with better ranked players are ones we don't play...only slightly better, mind you...
