That is all.

Agree. Put him in the HoF

TheFranchise · January 1, 2014

Leader.

UNTGuy5 · January 1, 2014

He was getting killed today,and he gutted it out and played outstanding. I have a much elevated level of respect for him after this game. HOF indeed.

Outspoken critic. I was incredibly wrong about him. Leader. Needs to be in the HOF.

He was a true leader today

TheFranchise · January 1, 2014

Incredible season. He did a lot to quiet his critics today. He did exactly what the game asked him to do, and did it in a VERY gutsy manner!

He stood in there and delivered knowing the hit was coming. Reminds me of a guy named Hall.

The block at the end. Sums him up. Not the best passer. Not the best rusher. Balls for days. Well done, Lucky 7.

NT03 · January 1, 2014

What he lacked in talent he made up with hard work , toughness & leadership. Hall of Fam'r in my book

NTSUEagle · January 1, 2014

Never doubted his Leadership.

Harry · January 1, 2014

His legacy is now cemented.

UNTcrazy727 · January 1, 2014

Great game today. However, I'm sorry but I can't put a guy in the HOF when he never even made an all conference team

NTSUEagle · January 1, 2014

Damn! There should be unlimited +1's for Bowl Posts!

It's not the Sun Belt or CUSA hall of fame, it's the UNT Hall of Fame.

He is the leader that brought us back from the depths of 2-10 and 3-9 Dodge debacles and finally pushed us over the.top with a MVP bowl performance.

2nd bowl win in the modern college football era.

Definitely HOF worthy.

I just talked to doctor. His kneecap was dislocated and he came back and finished. The kid is just awesome

filmerj · January 1, 2014

I was up and down with him through the season. But hard to argue with his performance today. Gutty performance. Congrats to Derik on an amazing end to a great Season.

JRock · January 1, 2014

Warrior!!!!! Thank you Derek!!!

Cerebus · January 1, 2014

21/30 for 256 yards with two TD's and ZERO ints. All while gutting out a tough injury.

Best bowl performance by a Mean Green QB in the history of the program.

Got5onIt · January 1, 2014

Congrats DT. He earned the MVP award today.

Green P1 · January 1, 2014

Warrior today. couldn't ask for for more of him than he gave today on the Cotton Bowl field. I don't think he's HOF but that's an unfair conversation to be having on the day of this win. This should be about nothing but celebrating what he and his teammates accomplished this season.

Army of Dad · January 1, 2014

Congrats DT. He earned the MVP award today.

At the game I was thinking maybe Brelan should have been MVP. Now that I've seen Thompson's stat line I can see where that is deserved.

Green P1 · January 1, 2014

He earned that MVP for all it was worth.

golfingomez · January 1, 2014

I'd like to think of the MVP award as a lifetime award for DT... for putting his head down and working through the past three years and ignoring all of us idiots... i was really happy for him
