Vandal's Open with N. Texas
August 23, 2013
Weekly Report Posted: April 30, 2016 11:44
The Vandal's have their hands full visiting Denton, TX for week 1. The offense must score as many points as possible in hopes to out pace the Mean Green. Vandal's Coach Mike Blackwell brings in the Flash16 offense and hopes to use senior weapons this season to help revitalize a program with only two bowl trips in the school's history.
HB Patrick Wright (I) SR needs to have a successful season; with at least 800 yards on the year, if the Vandal's hope o be better than the meager 1-win season from a year ago.
WR Stephen Thomas is the talented wide out that is likely to be an All-American and have a monster stats year if Coach Blackwell's system is as explosive as sports pundits say.
UNT QB Brandon Foster should have a record day against the worst defense in NCAA FBS.
The Mean Green's JR HB Cedric Kimbrough should easily run through the line for what be a individual 200-yard game.
Vandal's Postgame
Jeff Miranda's North Texas squad played a solid game on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Kimbrough ran though behind a quality O-line, and Foster played flawlessly with only 1 incomplete pass.
The tandom ends of Keith and Dahl had exceptional games, but as a whole that side of the ball looked poor.
