  2. I saw this point mentioned in several threads. After watching the game today on DVR I couldn't agree more. We are quick to call Chico out when we don't like the plays. We should also give him credit when credit is due -- that was possibly one of the best games he has called since being at North Texas. And mark my words, that Ball State team - like Ohio - is good, they are well coached. Chico kept them off balance and mixed things up in a great way for the offense. SO -- HERE'S to CHICO! GREAT GAME COACH!! WE APPRECIATE IT!! GMG!
  3. If it seems like I have dropped off the radar a bit it’s because I have been pretty busy putting together our annual football preview magazine. This year’s edition is going to be our biggest yet at 120 pages. It comes out on Thursday. If your’re a fan of UNT and the local high schools it will well worth 50 cents. Trust me. We have been working on it for months. As far as what is going on, it’s officially game week … Read more: http://meangreenblog.dentonrc.com/2013/08/sunday-night-notes-and-thoughts-game-week-soccer-scrimmage-et-cetera.html/
  4. I was thinking about the fact that last year McNulty redshirted with the injury and it never appeared that the coaching staff felt comfortable with Oz... Is it a fair assumption to say with the paper thin depth at QB that UNT was doing everything possible to protect DT and in the process sort of dumbed down what we did? We all know he was releasing the ball VERY quickly and there were very few sacks given up. It seems to me that with McNulty back, Berglund and now the freshman Williams you have more depth and that might allow them to unleash DT (especially with designed QB draw/run plays) more than they did last year. I'm pretty sure our depth chart for most of last season was DT and Osborn? Everything after that was walk-ons once McNulty was lost.
  5. 2012 SEASON IN REVIEW: Although it won four straight league titles upon entering, North Texas did not have a gracious exit from the Sun Belt Conference. The Mean Green played a very tough non-conference schedule and won one less game than in 2011. Coach Dan McCarney took the Cyclones to the bowl season in five of his final seven seasons at Iowa State. He has compiled a 9-15 record in two years with the Mean Green. North Texas began its season with a lopsided, 41-14 loss at LSU. It downed Texas State, 34-7, the following week to climb back to the .500 mark. The Mean Green then lost two in a row, to Kansas State (35-21) and Troy (14-7). They beat Florida Atlantic, 20-14, on the road, but could not repeat that success the following week at Houston (44-21). North Texas went 2-4 the rest of the way, with victories over Louisiana (30-23) and South Alabama (24-14), and losses to Middle Tennessee (38-21), Arkansas State (37-19), ULM (42-16) and Western Kentucky (25-24). North Texas's 4-8 record made it ineligible for a bowl bid. It has not played in a bowl game since 2004, which is also the last year it claimed a conference title. 2013 ANALYSIS: OFFENSE: North Texas was an average team offensively last season, finishing 51st in rushing (173.1 yards per game), 72nd in passing (219.1), but produced just the 103rd most points, at 20.9 points per contest. Senior Derek Thompson is the leading candidate the start under center for the third straight opener. He passed for 2,629 yards with 14 touchdowns last season. Offensive coordinator Mike Canales may consider other options at quarterback if Thompson struggles. He has a pair of intriguing backups in Andrew McNulty and Brock Berglund to consider. Whichever passer is dropping back will utilize senior wideout Brelan Chancellor, who racked up 450 yards and five touchdowns on 25 catches in 2012. Darnell Smith (379 yards, 28 catches) and Carlos Harris (253 yards, 19 catches) are a couple of additional options in the aerial attack. Senior tight end Drew Miller (131 yards, 18 catches) is an above average blocker for his position. He will be a help to the offensive line that returns Antonio Johnson (6-5, 311), Mason Y'Barbo (6-2, 309) and Cyril Lemon (6-3, 321), who all started last season as sophomores. The Mean Green led the nation in sacks allowed, giving up just a half-sack per game. "As a quarterback I always want to make sure the offensive line has some experience," said Canales. "The consistency and the continuity that we have offensive line wise provides a lot of strength for the quarterback game. They feel confident in the guys up front."
