as the Todd Dodge era begins. The Mean Green returns a solid nucleus on defense with
nine starters back. The offense features the return of a former national rushing champion
in Jamario Thomas. Oklahoma was 11-3 in 2006 but finished the season by dropping a
heartbreaker to Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl 43-42. The Sooners return 14 offensive
players who have been part-time starters and 11 who have started on the defense.
The Series
Oklahoma is 6-0 in the series with North Texas that dates back to 1987. The Sooners have
scored exactly 37 points in the last three games against North Texas, winning 37-9 in 1998,
37-10 in 2001 and 37-3 in 2003.

2007 Mean Green Football
The 92nd Season Set to Begin – North Texas will begin its 92nd season of football when
it kicks off the 2007 season against Oklahoma in Norman Sept. 1. Since the inaugural
season in 1913, North Texas has accumulated a record of 462-411-34 and has amassed 25
conference championships and played in seven bowl games.
Dodge Ball Begins – Todd Dodge became the 16th head coach in North Texas football
history when he was hired to lead the Mean Green on Dec. 12, 2006. Dodge is back for
his second tour of duty at North Texas after serving as the Mean Green passing game
coordinator in 1992 and 1993. Over the last five years as the head coach at Southlake
Carroll High School, Dodge led his team to an amazing 79-1 record while winning four
state championships. His only loss during that time was by a single point in the 2003 state
championship game.
Making the Rare Jump – North Texas head coach Todd Dodge became just the sixth
coach in history to make the rare jump from high school to major college head coach
when he was announced as the new Mean Green boss on Dec. 12, 2006. Dodge joins Paul
Brown of Ohio State, who came from Massillon, Ohio High School in 1941; Roy Lester
of Maryland, who came from Montgomery High School in Rockville, Md. in 1969; Bob
Commings of Iowa, who came from Massillon High School in 1974; Jerry Faust of Notre
Dame, who came from Moeller High School in Cincinnati in 1981 and Dennis Parker who
came to North Texas from Marshall (Texas) High School in 1991. Brown coached for three
seasons at Ohio State and had a career record of 18-8-1. Lester was 7-25 in three years at
Maryland, Commings was 17-38 in five years at Iowa, Faust was 30-26-1 in five years at
Notre Dame and Parker was 11-21-1 during his three years at North Texas. Season Openers – North Texas is 36-52-3 all-time in season-opening games. The Mean
Green has won just one season-opener in the last 10 years, a 14-7 win at Middle Tennessee
in 2005. This will be the eighth time since 1998 that North Texas has opened up against a
member of the Big XII Conference and the third time during that same time that it opened
up against Oklahoma. This will be the fifth time in the last six years that North Texas has
opened the season against a top 10 opponent.
Dodge Against Oklahoma – North Texas head coach Todd Dodge was a member of
the University of Texas football team from 1981-85 and was a part of some great games
against Oklahoma in the “Red River Rivalry”. Of the five years that Dodge was in Austin,
his Longhorns went 2-2-1 against the Sooners. Dodge was the starting quarterback in
the 1984 game in which Texas was ranked No. 1 and Oklahoma was ranked No. 3 that
ended in a 15-15 tie. In 1985, No. 2 Oklahoma defeated Texas 14-7 in a game that Dodge
was intercepted twice, including once by All-American linebacker Brian Bosworth. This
week’s game will be the first time that Dodge has ever been to Memorial Stadium in
Norman.
Going Home – North Texas has four players who will be returning to their home state
for the game at Oklahoma Saturday. Senior Blake Burruss, who is expected to start for
the Mean Green at defensive end, spent his prep days at Westmoore High School. Junior
defensive back Dominique Green played at Lawton Eisenhower before coming to Denton.
Sophomore defensive end Charlie Brown played at Hilldale High School in Muskogee and
freshman Robbie Gordon is from Ardmore, Okla.
Top 10 Opponents – North Texas has played at least one top 10 opponent every year since
2000. This week’s match-up against No. 8 Oklahoma is actually the lowest-ranked top 10
opponent North Texas has faced during that time. In 2000 the Mean Green faced No. 4
Kansas State, followed by No. 3 Oklahoma in 2001; No. 2 Texas in 2002; No. 1 Oklahoma
in 2003; No. 7 Texas in 2004; No. 7 LSU in 2005 and No. 2 Texas in 2006. North Texas
has never defeated a top 10 foe, going 0-13 in those games. Here are the results of North
Texas’ games against ranked opponents:
Chasing a Repeat of History – North Texas had a combined 5-18 record over the past
two years, going 2-9 in 2005 and 3-9 in 2006. The last time North Texas lost 18 games
in a two-year span was 1981-82, which it followed up with a conference championship
and an 8-4 record in 1983.

enrollment has increased by an average of nearly five percent each year since 2000, when
the enrollment was 26,493. North Texas is the fastest-growing university in Texas and at
its current growth rate, would surpass the University of Houston by the year 2010. Along
with Houston, only the University of Texas-Austin and Texas A&M University have more
students than North Texas.
Gender Equity Report Card – The North Texas athletic department ranked second in
the nation and received a grade of ‘A’ on the Gender Equity Scorecard - an annual report
published Penn State University-York in an attempt to measure each school’s commitment
to women’s athletics. The report ranked colleges in the NCAA’s Football Bowl Subdivision
on opportunities available to women’s athletics, including scholarships, participation,
coaching salaries, recruitment budget and operating expenses. The study incorporated 113
colleges which represent the 11 major football playing conferences. The Mean Green
finished second only to the University of Nevada, which finished on top of the study for
the second straight year. North Texas is one of only 11 schools in the country, and the only
program in the south, to receive a grade of ‘A’ from the scorecard. North Texas was also
recognized as the champion of the Sun Belt Conference in which no other schools received
the ‘A’ grade.
Academic Achievement – North Texas placed 12 football players on the 2006-07 Sun Belt
Conference Commissioners list which recognizes student-athletes who maintain a grade
point average between 3.5 and 4.0 for the academic year. Louisiana-Lafayette also had
12 members of its football team on the list while no other Sun Belt school had more than
seven honorees. North Texas also had 21 additional football players on the 2006-07 Sun
Belt Academic Honor Roll which recognizes student-athletes with a grade point average
between 3.0 and 3.5.
Mean Green and Under Armour – The North Texas football team has entered an
agreement with athletic apparel company Under Armour for the 2007 season. The team
will be outfitted from head to toe with Under Armour, including shoes, socks, pants,
jerseys, gloves and wrist bands. North Texas is one of only five college football programs
to have such a deal to wear the popular performance gear, joining Auburn, Maryland, South
Carolina and Texas Tech. It is the first time in recent history Mean Green players will be
outfitted exclusively by one company. Coaches will also be outfitted in Under Armour for
game-day.

2007 Mean Green Football
Thomas Eyeing Record – Senior running back Jamario Thomas currently ranks third
on the North Texas career rushing leaders list. Thomas has 2,830 yards in his three
years and needs just 290 yards to move into second place. To break the record of 3,050
career yards, which is held by his former teammate Patrick Cobbs, Thomas will need
1,221 yards this season. In Todd Dodge’s wide open offense at Southlake Carroll, he
had a 1,500-yard rusher in each of his last three years.
Freshman Wideouts Add Depth - North Texas head coach, Todd Dodge signed five wide
receivers (Sam Dibrell, Evan Fentriss, Breece Johnson, Sam Roberson and Evan Walker)
that recorded 1,000 yards or more in receiving during their senior year of high school.
Brock Stickler is the only returning Mean Green receiver to have tallied over 1,000 yards
receiving during senior year of high school.
Making Up For Lost Offense - The Mean Green returns 52.9 percent of its offense from
the 2006 season. Senior running back Jamario Thomas leads all North Texas returnees
with 700 yards of total offense last season. Thomas rushed for 668 yards and recorded 32
yards receiving out of the back field.

PK: Drew Edmiston (Louisiana-Lafayette)
RS: Damon Nickson (Middle Tennessee)
Sun Belt Standings
Passing Fancy – North Texas went all of the 2006 season without a quarterback
recording 200 yards passing in a game. Matt Phillips was the last Mean Green signal
caller to surpass the 200-yard mark on Nov. 29, 2005 in a 24-19 loss to LouisianaMonroe. Daniel Meager, the Mean Green’s starting quarterback, has only thrown for
more than 150 yards twice during his career.
New Faces in the Kicking Game - For the third consecutive year, the Mean Green will
have a new face at the kicker position. Three walk-on freshmen are vying for the starting
spot for North Texas. Nick Bazaldua was the last Mean Green kicker to start as a true
freshman during the 2002 season. As a fresman, Bazaldua was successful on 10-of-15 field
goal attempts including four from more than 40 yards out.
Ford One of Youngest - North Texas offensive coordinator Todd Ford is the fourthyoungest offensive coordinator in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly
Div. I-A). Ford was born on March 28, 1973 making him 34 years old during the 2007
season. Only Major Applewhite (29) of Alabama, Brian Harsin (30) of Boise State and
Mark Helfrich (33) of Colorado are younger in the OC ranks. Among both offensive and
defensive coordinators, Ford ranks as the 10th-youngest in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
A Return to the North Texas Sideline - Mean Green head coach Todd Dodge is making
his second tour of duty on the North Texas sideline after he was an assistant coach under
Dennis Parker in 1992 and 1993. Dodge was the passing game coordinator under Parker,
helping teach the most prolific passer in North Texas history Mitch Maher. During his
two years as the passing game coordinator, Dodge’s offense totaled 4,806 passing yards
for an average of 218.5 yards per game. Under his guidance in 1993, North Texas had
2,626 yards and 24 passing touchdowns, both of which have only been surpassed one time
since then - and that was the year after Dodge left (1994). Maher, who holds North Texas
passing records for career yards with 8,515, attributes much of his development to Dodge.
North Texas has not had over 2,000 yards passing as a team since 1995, which was the first
year the Mean Green returned to Div. I-A.
Slow Start – North Texas has been outscored 148-27 in the first quarter over the last two
seasons. The Mean Green has scored first in nine of those 23 games. No other Sun Belt
football program failed to score less than 29 total first quarter points last season alone.
Finding a New Home – When Todd Dodge brought his spread offense to North Texas
this year, one of the biggest challenges was finding a new home for the five tight ends that
played a big part in the former offense. Four of the five found a home on the defensive
side of the ball with Charlie Brown and Ryan Davenport moving to defensive end, Draylen
Ross moving to defensive tackle and Bryant Seidle moving to linebacker. The only other
holdover tight end was Victor Gill who has made the adjustment to offensive tackle and is
in the two-deep this week.

Mean Green Defensive Notes
Defensive Unit to Strive For – The last time that North Texas played Oklahoma, the Mean
Green had one of the best defenses in school history. Seven of the 11 starters that year
ended up as all-conference selections and four are currently playing professional football.
Linebacker Cody Spencer and defensive end Adrian Awasom are both playing in the NFL
and defensive backs Markeith Knowlton and Jeremy Pearl are both playing in the CFL.
The 2003 defense allowed an average of just 104.7 yards rushing per game which is the
best rushing defense since 1967 when the Mean Green allowed 79.1 yards rushing per
game. Against Oklahoma in 2003 North Texas allowed 105 yards rushing which was well
below the Sooners season average of 145.9 yards per game.

Wealth of Experience – North Texas returns nine starters from its 2006 defense. Twelve
of the top 13 tacklers, including the top eight tacklers, are back from last year. Defensive
tackle Sky Pruitt and defensive back Roy Loren are the only two starters from 2006 who
are not on the 2007 roster. Three of the four pre-season all-conference selections from
North Texas are on the defensive side of the ball. North Texas has 19 defensive players
on its current roster that have started at least one game while at North Texas. There are
seven different defensive backs, seven linebackers and five defensive linemen who have at
least one start. Nine of those players have started at least 10 games in their career, led by
defensive end Jeremiah Chapman who has 24 career starts. There are five linebackers with
at least 10 starts to their credit, led by Derek Mendoza and Maurice Holman who each have
22.

Looking for a Three-Peat – Aaron Weathers is looking to become the only Mean Green
player in history to lead the team in tackles for three consecutive seasons. Weathers led the
team with 113 tackles in 2005 and 78 last season. He becomes only the seventh player to
led their team in consecutive seasons since North Texas starting keeping tackles as a stat in
1977. Of the seven total, Weathers is the only defensive back.

Off-season Movement – There has been several position changes defensively for North
Texas leading up to the season opener. Junior Steve Warren has moved from safety to
linebacker which was complimented by the move of junior Germaine Dawson from
linebacker to safety. Sophomore Desmon Chatman moved from cornerback to safety and
is very close to cracking the two-deep. Former tight-ends Charlie Brown, Ryan Davenport,
Draylen Ross and Bryant Seidle all found homes on the defensive side of the ball. Brown
and Davenport are playing defensive end while Ross is a defensive tackle and Seidle is a
linebacker.

2007 Mean Green Football
Lack of Interceptions – No Mean Green player recorded more than one interception
during the 2006 season. Six North Texas players recorded one interception a piece. The
only other time that a North Texas player has failed to record multiple interceptions was in
1997 and 1984.
Back to the 4-3 – After spending a year running a 3-4 defense, North Texas has gone
back to the traditional 4-3 under new defensive coordinator Ron Mendoza. The Mean
Green struggled in the 3-4 alignment last year, allowing a Sun Belt Conference-high 40
touchdowns and ranking sixth in the league in total defense allowing an average of 338.4
yards per game.
‘Special’ for Two Seasons – The Mean Green special teams has gone 31 games without
allowing a blocked punt. The last time North Texas had a punt blocked was against
Baylor, Sept. 25, 2004. Junior punter Truman Spencer, has attempted 131 punts in his
two-year career without giving up a blocked punt. 1996 was the last time a Mean Green
team went a whole season without allowing a blocked punt.
Breaking the Drought – It’s been 97 games and counting since North Texas has returned a
kickoff for a touchdown. Broderick McGrew was the last Mean Green player when he took
a kickoff and returned it 100 yards in a 28-27 loss against Utah State on Nov. 14, 1998.

Fiesta Bowl
Oklahoma 42 vs. Boise State 43
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- The ninth-ranked
Broncos completed a perfect season with an
exhilarating 43-42 overtime victory over No.
7 Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl Monday night,
leaving Boise State and top-ranked Ohio State
as the only teams with perfect records. In one
of the most dramatic finishes in BCS history,
the Sooners and the Broncos combined for 22
points in the final 86 seconds of regulation.
Boise State blew an 18-point lead midway
through the third quarter, then twice rallied
from seven-point deficits. The Broncos
appeared to be finished when Oklahoma
cornerback Marcus Walker intercepted Jared
Zabransky’s pass and returned it 33 yards for
a touchdown to put the Sooners ahead 35-28
with 1:02 remaining. The magic came on a
stunning 50-yard touchdown play on fourthand-18 in the final seconds of regulation.
Zabransky hit Drisan James at Oklahoma’s
35, and James pitched the ball to Jerard Rabb,
who raced into the end zone with 7 seconds to
play. After trading touchdowns, the Broncos
decided to go for the victory. On the decisive
play, Zabransky looked at three wide receivers
to his right, then handed the ball behind his
back to tailback Ian Johnson, who raced
untouched into the end zone.Oklahoma’s
Paul Thompson threw a career-high three
interceptions. He completed 19 of 32 passes
for 233 yards and two touchdowns.

North Texas 3 at Oklahoma 37
NORMAN, Okla. (8/30/03) – The North
Texas football team suffered a 37-3 setback
at the hands of the No. 1 Oklahoma

responsible for 71 of the Mean Green’s 79
yards passing. In his first collegiate game,
Johnny Quinn led the North Texas receivers
with two catches for 37 yards. Sophomore
Roy Bishop led the Mean Green rushing
attack with 53 yards on nine carries, while
starter Patrick Cobbs gained 38 yards on
the ground. While North Texas had trouble
moving the ball against a tough Oklahoma
defense, the Sooners were able to finish
with 391 yards of total offense. OU forced
two North Texas turnovers and its defense
held the Mean Green to 154 total yards of
offense.
