Spring Football Game

[DeepGreen]

Any chance the game will be available on the internet for out-of-towners?

All silent on the western front?

Can us out of towners get a break down on how it has been?

[Green P1]

The white team is clinging to a late 4th quarter lead.

[golfingomez]

so did we win?

[UNT90]

QB update?

Mean green blog ... Vito has a running blog. McNulty seems to be having the best day by what Vito has written

so did we win?

Nope... It was a hard fought loss.

Attendance was great. Full alumni side lower level, moderate into top. 4-5,000(Max.) Defense looks as good as last year. Offense is iffy, Jimmerson looked good but fumbled badly. McNulty wasn't impressive. Means looked excellent but had a lot of freshman problems, threw a few easy pick sixes. Greer will be the starter, IMO.

Tailgating was surprisingly lively.

I took three posters to hang in my cubicle and a magnet to put on the break room fridge. We have quite a few UNT alumni at work.

[MeanGreenDan]

Greer looked best.

[North Texas Shep]

Greer reminds me of DT from junior year... Hopefully by the season he will be at the level or better then DT from senior year.

[NorthTexan95]

Ugh. DT junior year was not pretty.

[Mean_Green09]

Both QBs struggled with accuracy and the wind. Race will go deep into fall camp.

[Mean_Green09]

The Secondary had plenty of busted coverages. Run defense wasn't great. Good pas rush

[NorthTexan95]

Did Evans ... rb ... make any noise?

Ya he had some nice runs. You can see the explosiveness. Had a fumble though

[Harry]

I liked Means today. Good turnout. Half starters weren't playing. Windy. Erick Evans will be a star.

[pastorgrant]

Didn't see a lot of Evans, but other than the fumble, he looked fantastic. He will be huge for us. I thought MacNulty looked good, he was hitting guys in stride and even threw a couple of good passes downfield. His arm looks stronger to me than it used to. He had one embarrassing fumble but no INTs (unless it was in the first few minutes, which I missed). I thought he looked better than Greer most of the time, but both are decent QBs. Means has something and with some time could be a really good QB for us but he isn't ready yet.

No need to bring race into this. Or is there?

[Side Show Joe]

Just my thoughts...

Offense

I don't think either QB took a lead in the battle for the starting job. Both had good and bad plays. Means looks like he will develop into a solid QB down the road. I thought he did a fine job today. Jimmerson looked good today. Evans is something special. In the very limited time he got today, he made every carry count. The WRs looked very solid. Harris and Kidsey seem very reliable. Terrell looked great over the middle. Smiley was a very nice surprise. Y'Barbo was out today, so the O-line was thin. I'm confident they will be a strength again next season.

Defense

They sure can get to the QB. It was nice to see they can still force turn overs. They really did control most of the game. Like on offense, many of the defensive starters were out today. Didn't see Lee, and Jones is probably still recovering from his surgery. Sed Ellis looked very good. I also like the way Fred Scott plays. I think our LBs will again be a strength for this team. Whitfield probably could have been the player of the game, but dropped a few pick 6s.

[North Texas Shep]

Ugh. DT junior year was not pretty.

Yep... That is my concern.

[Marty]

was impressed with Connor Means, still needs to redshirt but could be a very solid QB in the future. We're pretty deep at RB, all showed flashes. Jimmy's long run, Evans burst, Tucker and Lewis, even Wilhite looked good. Sed Ellis is going to be a player, like his speed.

The thing that impressed me is the competiveness of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th teamers. You can tell they are well coached, yes sometimes they might make mental mistakes but they all know how to block, tackle, and run. None really seemed to be in over their head.

Walk on deep snapper Tony Johnson was placed on scholarship after the game.

[Green Crazy]

other walk ons that earned scholarships were Keenan - punter/kicker, Lynn - tight end, Chelf - wide receiver and Wade - defensive back.
