Former WKU QB DaMarcus Smith could start for North Texas

Western Kentucky may see a familiar face across the field when it visits North Texas on Thursday.

Former WKU quarterback DaMarcus Smith could get the start for the winless Mean Green.

UNT fired coach Dan McCarney on Saturday after the team's 66-7 loss to Portland State, and Vito said there are indications that interim coach Mike Canales - the team's offensive coordinator - will start Smith at QB against his former team.

Smith has appeared in three games for North Texas this season, completing 6 of 18 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown with an interception. He orchestrated UNT's only scoring drive Saturday with about a minute to play.

The dual-threat QB appeared in five games for WKU in 2013 under coach Bobby Petrino, completing 2 of 5 passes for 33 yards with no TDs and an interception. He also rushed 10 times for 51 yards but lost out on the starting job to Brandon Doughty.

I know I am getting a little green kool aid on what I'm about to say...

But imagine Demarcus starting and playing tonight. Then he beats his old team and the guy who took his job for the first win of the season.

I know.... I'll go back to my depression cave and curse at RV's ridiculous ways.

It would take a resilient effort by the team and a myriad mistakes by WKU for this game to even be close.

Not expecting much. I'd just like to see some improvement/effort.

Andrew McNulty lost against his former team.

Too bad we don't have Navarro JC on the schedule.

Seeing that 'Mean Green Football' just posted this on their Facebook page, I'll let you assume who will start under center tonight.

So that was Iowa City High who blew us out in that body bag game the other day? Figures, but you would think that RV could have at least gotten us a return game..
