How would this Mac team fare vs. Dickey's best?

[Harry]

Just got me thinking last night how interesting it would be to see Scott Hall, Booger, AA, Patty Cobbs line up against DT, Jim Jim, Zach Orr, Trice and Brelan?? Is Mac team this season as good or better than any of the best Dickey squads?

[NT03]

Game would end in a 0-0 tie

[northtexassigep]

this team would win by 21 easily. far better team against far better competition

[Green P1]

That defense would destroy this team.

Mac's Offense vs. Dickey's Defense

I think Dickey's front-7 makes it difficult to move the ball. I think Booger wreaks havoc, as he did v. everyone he played, big school or small school. Then you still have to deal w/ Awasome, Daniels, etc.

I do think our receivers could make plays v. Dickey's secondary. Running game wouldn't do a whole lot.

Dickey's Offense vs. Mac's Defense

Dickey's offense would not be able to do much with this defense. This defense would stop the run, and Quinn couldn't beat us by himself...no other weapons in passing game. The biggest weakness of the bowl year teams...not a threat in the passing game.

Prediction

Mac 10

Dickey 3

Defensive struggle

Not a chance...not even on a cold day in hell

[BIG DAWG]

Awesome thread btw...wish we could line this one up and play it

[Green P1]

I'm not sure Dickey's defense wouldn't score multiple times.

It would create a hole in the space time continum and destroy the universe. If fact, just by reading this thread, the world got a little staticky and squiggley lines appeared for a second.

[greenminer]

Skladays d seems more disciplined across the board, doing a solid job with assignments and closing gaps. But that deloach d had twice as many playmakers. I just cant see anyone breaking 14, let alone 20 on them.

Slight edge to Dickey's best. Brelan would still get some yards but that's about it.

fun thread!

The better question would be... who wins in the bull ring.... Y'Barbo or Booger?

Oline

Advantage - Mac

Mmmmm.... not even close. When Mac's crew blocks for two national rushing champions then we'll talk.

Don McGee would become the school's all-time INT leader.

Booger would post 12 TFL while Mac's offense spends the first half running every first and second down.

Brelan would take 2 to the house.

P-Cobbs would put up a buck twenty. People act like EVERY team we played back then didn't stack the box.

And we forget that dickey teams passed to the TE...a lot.

Dickey- 21

Mac- 10

Let's revisit this thread when Mac gets us to ONE bowl game.

[NT03]

Not eveb worth debating until this team gets to & wins a bowl game

[Green P1]

Mmmmm.... not even close. When Mac's crew blocks for two national rushing champions then we'll talk.

I'm more confused by the edge he gave to the Mac secondary.

[Mean Green 93-98]

Interesting question. Talent-wise, I think the Dickey teams win almost across the board. But somehow or another, this red zone offense is clicking like nothing I've ever seen at North Texas. And this defense's results on the scoreboard aren't too far off from 2002. I've gotta give the coaching edge to this staff, and by a pretty large margin.

I'll just say that I think it would be the battle of the ages.

Typo...will fix...should be adv DD

I guess we could. Someone make it happen.

[Quoner]

This is all well and good, but how would you match up RV's staff now vs. 2004?

[Stix]

We called Dickey's team (the offense, actually) "The Buick" - what does that make Mac's team - "The Mac Truck"?

[MeanGreenTexan]

I'm not sure Dickey's defense wouldn't score multiple times.

I think between the two defenses, there would be more scores off of pick6's and/or fumble recoveries than there would be by either offense.

2013 UNT - 13

2003 UNT - 17

Defensive struggle all the way. Booger & co make this years offense look awful while Cobbs/Galbreath just grind away on this year's D.

[golfingomez]

DT would not have a fun day

[casual fan]

One thing you may not have considered. They would all be home games.

I've got to give the edge to Mac.
