UNT C-USA All Conference Team Selections?

[Harry]

Orr, Chancellor, Y'Barbo, Bellazin, Trice, Lee... That's just a start... Who else is deserving?

[TheColonyEagle]

Abbe

Buyers?

[Eastwood Eagle]

I think our kicker may make second or third team. He has seemed solid.

[greenminer]

Ceril?

[MeanMag]

Every successful opponent play goes to the opposite side of the field from Buyers.

[Matthew Hard]

I'd throw D Smith and Byrd out there too.

[GrandGreen]

With a 14 team league and several schools with better and equal records, I doubt that anyone from NT is a sure thing for the first team. Best chances, Chancellor, Y'Barbo and Orr. Others that get a second or third team nod, Abbe, Buyers, Trice, Lee, Lemon and Bellazin.

Incredible tackler. He better get his due recognition.

[Mean Green Eagle]

Abbe and Sarge. Our D-line was great this year. Their pressure was relentless. Not to mention Sarge had 5 sacks, and Abbe had 3...as a DT.

Byrd should get a look at RB. 3rd in the C-USA in rushing yards...over 1,000 yards with a 5.6 avg. He also added 11 TDs and a conference-long 91-yard rushing TD.

Darnell Smith should get some consideration for 2nd or 3rd team WR. He finished 6th in C-USA in receiving yds. Had 65 catches for 716 yards...2 yards behind Brelan for the team lead, with 18 more receptions. Only having 3 TDs will hurt his cause though.

Unfortunately I don't think Macek or Paul get any looks this season for STs.

Buyers was the biggest surprise to me this season, that kid is fast to the ball and knows how to tackle.

[FirefightnRick]

Buyers is deserving for sure.

This

It's a big league , several deserving players will get left off.

[greenminer]

What would bump Bellazin off? He is the sack leader.

[GOMG2013]

He probably deserves his own thread...

The addition of buyers and James Jones to the starting lineup is one of the biggest reasons for the teams success. hard coaching decision to bench a senior and a previous conference team selection. Props for making that call. Second half of ball state they took over full time and the defense has been solid ever since.

How many all-conference teams are there? 1st, 2nd, and 3rd? Or just 1st and 2nd?

There is a 1st and 2nd and then an Honorable Mention.

Rick

Thank you.

Then yes, should be tough to make either 1st or 2nd team in a 14-team conference. We should still be well represented though.

CUSA coach of the year?

[UNT90]

Zach Orr should be defensive player of the year.

Losing to that piece of crap in San Antonio hurt his chances, though.

[GOMG2013]

Zach Orr should be defensive player of the year.

Losing to that piece of crap in San Antonio hurt his chances, though.

Still, he's considered the best player on the best defense in the conference. Who would be a threat to beat him?

[DeepGreen]

Can a Redshirt Freshman get freshman of the year, or some other recognition? If so, my vote goes to Kaydon Kirby. Bright future for that young man.

And Buyers and Lee are special.

[Christopher Walker]

Zach Orr should be defensive player of the year.

Much to our chagrin, I wouldn't be surprised if that honor went to either Larry Coker or Curtis Johnson.

[Marty]

Bellazin, Orr, Chancellor, Y'Barbo for sure.

I hate to burst your bubble but Shawn Johnson of Tulsa should be a shoo-in for Defensive Player of the Year. He leads Zach in tackles, interceptions, tackles for loss, sacks and passes defended.

Orr should absolutely be a first team all-conference linebacker but unless Johnson is railroaded for playing on a losing team he deserves the honor.
