UNT will face one of the nation’s most productive pocket passers — at least at this point of the season — on Saturday when the Mean Green takes on Ball State and Keith Wenning. Wenning has thrown for 665 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions in two games. Yeah, he’s pretty good. He’s 6-3, 220, and will sit in the pocket and try to pick UNT apart. And that begs the question: Just how well has UNT fared against top pocket passers the last few years. I went back through the record books and came up with a rundown. Now, I might be splitting hairs here on who counts as a pocket passer and who is more of a dual-threat guy, but the list still worth looking at: UNT has faced Idaho’s Chad Chalich and Ohio’s Tyler Tettleton so far. Both are dual-threat kind of guys, so we have to dig a little deeper. Read more: http://meangreenblog.dentonrc.com/2013/09/unt-vs-top-pocket-passers-a-look-back.html/

I don't always look at the number as the end all for games because they were deceiving in the Mean Green's 27-21 defeat at Ohio. The Bobcats outgained UNT 442-299, but the bend but don't break defense of North Texas looked bad on one 75 yard touchdown throw. The offense not only struggled to move the ball consistently on 4-14 on third down conversions, but could not move the ball on the ground with only 104 yards on 38 carries. The air was a bit more friendly, with Derek Thompson going 19-29 for 195 yards with a pair of scoring tosses but his two picks were killers with one was returned for a Bobcats score. The bottom line was the Mean Green need to run the ball to maximize their chances of success. This should be interesting, but I like what I see from Ball State with Wenning under center, although at some point the Cardinals need to run the ball...
