Chancellor Chasing Dunbar

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

Brelan Chancellor is already the NT career leader in:

Kickoff Returns: 106 (and counting)
Kickoff Return Yards: 2,499 (and counting)
Kickoffs Returned For TD: 2 (...and counting!)

Against Ball State, he passes Johnny Quinn to take the #3 spot in Career All-Purpose Yards at NT. He now trails only:

1. Lance Dunbar: 5,375
2. Patrick Cobbs: 5,222

3. Brelan Chancellor: 4,114

He needs a stout 123.2 per game to get past Cobbs; an unreal 140.2 to get past Dunbar.

You're forgetting about the CUSA championship game and the bowl game

[forevereagle]

Those averages per game are only valid if we don't get to the conference championship and a bowl game.

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

That's true! Beat Rice, and we're looking at two extra games for Thompson and Chancellor. Excellent point!

Kinda sad that we had 2 years with both Chancellor & Dunbar together , but only managed 8 total wins

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

Very sad, indeed. This group of seniors - the ones who stayed - will have been among the most productive in the school's I-A/FBS history.

I think Andre Ware summed it up well during the Georgia broadcast, the seniors on defense were for the first time playing for the same defensive coordinator in consecutive seasons.

That says something. McCarney is building this thing pretty well. The coaching carousel, though, does tend to hurt the effectiveness of team overall.

Won't it be weird that the worst coach we've ever had percentage wise will have been the one who recruited the top passer, rusher, all-purpose yards leaders and leading tackler in school history?

Crazy. Only at UNT.

Is it only me, or are these averages coming down with every game... and the easier part of the schedule only now ahead of NT

I guess if he stays healthy he will catch them both.

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

They are coming down. I thought at the beginning of the season that it would be impossible because I figured we'd be running 30-40 times a game and passing 20-25.

Chancellor is delivering as a receiver and in the return game. I really think he has a shot at it! He had 204 all-purpose yards against Tulane.

Whether he gets it or not, McCarney will be hard pressed to find a replacement who can do it all like him in 2014.

It's looking like this gentleman you speak of is playing lights out at Desoto right now.

I like the optimism.

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

Adding something to Brelan Chancellor, punt return yards in a season. The record is held by J.T. Smith who had 380 punt return yards during the 1976 season.

This year, Chancellor has 177. He needs 33.9 punt return yards per game to break Smith's single season record. It's within reason that he can do this.

[Censored by Laurie]

I haven't seen us talking this possibility, so excuse me if it's been raised, but is Brelan NFL draft-able or at the very least a player who can make it as an un-drafted FA? I'm not a big NFL guy, and I know Brelan doesn't have "NFL size", but neither do a lot of players who have carved out some pretty nice careers.

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

If he tests well, how can he not go? There have been plenty of Dave Meggett-types in the NFL. "Little" guys who can deliver in the return game as well as contribute as a good third down receiver.

I think about Kelvin Martin with the old Jimmy Johnson Dallas Cowboys, a guy who Tom Landry took in the 4th Round of the 1987 draft. He was as dangerous a punt return guy in the NFL when Jimmy started to get that thing cranked up. And, he was a good little possession receiver. Lethal.

On one it the broadcasts he was compared to Steve Smith. That's a good comparison, IMO. I think Brelan will get drafted.

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

The two guys he's chasing on the chart have made it to the NFL...I think that says something. I think he's drafted.

Every time i think it will be impossible for him to rack up the numbers needed for the punt return record, because opponents will do everything and anything to make sure he does not get an opportunity, everytime i get to that point, someone is stupid enough to kick/ punt it to him.

Remember Steve Ramsey and Ron Shanklin set all their records in three years ( had freshman teams in that era).
