Can UNT's Derek Thompson get it done?

 
No. 2 – Can Derek Thompson get it done?
 
I’m sitting in a log cabin out in a state park in East Texas on vacation, pondering the future of UNT football. Ok, not really, but I am taking a couple of minutes to jump back on the blog to continue our off-season questions series.
 
Today, we ponder UNT’s quarterback situation and Derek Thompson.
 
Thompson put up some pretty impressive numbers last season, throwing for 2,649 yards and 14 touchdowns. He threw for 200 yards in seven straight games.
 
Was Thompson perfect? No.
 
No quarterback ever is.
 
Was he pretty good at times? Yeah.
 
Thompson threw for 333 yards against Louisiana-Monroe, 316 against Arkansas State and 282 yards against Louisiana-Lafayette, including hitting Antoinne Jimmerson with a short pass he turned into a 78-yard touchdown catch.
 
The problem was that Thompson also made a few key mistakes, including an interception Jonathan Dowling returned for a touchdown that turned the tide in a season-ending 25-loss to Western Kentucky.

“You promote, you market, and you do everything you can to get everybody to come back to games all throughout the spring and summer, and then for 12 years in a row, North
Texas gets on a plane to open the season at someone else’s stadium,” said McCarney, who has been the Mean Green coach the past two seasons.
 
And those who wondered a few weeks ago if the former Iowa State head coach and Iowa assistant would be on the sidelines for that Aug. 31 game against Idaho don’t know this Irish-blooded Iowan very well.
 
“I can’t tell you once when I got knocked down and didn’t get back up,” said McCarney, who proved that by returning to his office just a week following heart bypass surgery.
