This week’s game at Louisiana-Lafayette will be the fourth of five games this year that North Texas has played on the road. This is only the second time in the last eight years that four of the Mean Green’s first five games have been away from Fouts Field. Since joining the Sun Belt Conference 2001, North Texas is 16-31 in away games and 18-12 in home games. Starting Field Position – In its first four games, North Texas has lost the battle of field position. On average, the Mean Green is starting its drives 11 yards deeper in its own territory than its opponents. The average starting field position for North Texas has been its own 23 yard line, while opponents have averaged the 34 yard line to start their drives. The largest discrepancy came last week at Arkansas when North Texas averaged the 20 yard line to start and Arkansas averaged the 36 yard line. Avoiding Three and Out – Against Arkansas, the North Texas offense started the game with three consecutive three-and-out situations, which turned into 17 points for the Razorbacks. In four games this season, North Texas has been forced to punt after just three plays 14 times. Mean Green opponents have been forced to punt after three-and-out just seven times this year. Third Down Distance – Todd Dodge has emphasized that his offense is most successful when not faced with third and long situations. The philosophy is to methodically move the chains by gaining enough yards on first and second down that third down doesn’t become a statistical improbability with a long distance to gain. It is no coincidence that North Texas’ best third down conversion effort this season was against SMU when it converted 50 percent of its attempts and had the fewest third-and-long situations. Against Oklahoma, North Texas faced third-and-long situations 13 times and converted once. At SMU the Mean Green had a season-low eight third-and-long situations and converted two. Against Florida Atlantic there were 12 third-and-long situations and North Texas was successful three times. At Arkansas the Mean Green faced 10 third-and-long plays and didn’t convert any. For the season North Texas is 6-of-43 (14 percent) converting third downs of five yards or more and 14-of-21 (67 percent) when faced with less than five yards on third down. Turnover Trouble – North Texas ranks 108th nationally and seventh in the Sun Belt Conference in turnover margin, committing 12 turnovers while only gaining six. The Mean Green committed a season-low two turnovers against Arkansas. Eleven of 12 turnovers have come from interceptions while only one was a fumble. Dating back to the beginning of the 2004 season, North Texas is 3-24 when committing more turnovers than its opponent and 9-2 when committing less. Points Off Turnovers – Even more telling than the turnover difference is what teams are doing after receiving a turnover. In four games this year, North Texas has gained six turnovers and turned those opportunities into a total of three points. The four opponents have combined to gain 12 turnovers and turned those chances into 62 points. If you add to that number the two blocked punts by Florida Atlantic (which aren’t technically considered turnovers) that point total would increase to 76 points because the Owls scored touchdowns off both. Costly Picks – North Texas has had some costly interceptions this season, committing three that were returned for touchdowns and three that were picked in the end zone. Against Oklahoma, Giovanni Vizza threw an interception that was returned 25 yards for a touchdown. At SMU Daniel Meager had a pick returned 49 yards for a score and against Florida Atlantic Meager was intercepted in the end zone twice. The latest came last week against Arkansas when Vizza was picked off in the end zone and the Razorbacks returned it 100 yards for a touchdown. Not an Uncommon Start – This is the fourth time in the last 10 years that North Texas has started the season 0-4. In three of those four years, one of the first three losses came to an opponent ranked in the top 10 nationally. The last two times that North Texas started the season 0-4 was 2001 and 2004, which were both Sun Belt Conference championship years. North Texas’ combined record of the first four games over the 12 years since returning to Div. I-A in 1995 is 9-40 (.184 winning percentage) and it has never had a winning record after the first four games during that time. Bookend Scoring – North Texas has scored 21 points in each the first and fourth quarter this year but has struggled to keep that pace in the second and third quarter. Six of the team’s eight touchdowns have come in the first and fourth quarter. In the second and third quarter combined, North Texas has scored two touchdowns and four field goals.

Coming into this year, senior Adam Venegas is the only offensive lineman who has any career starts at North Texas. Of the other four starters, two are sophomores and two are freshmen. Before this season, Venegas had started 12 games and played in 20. Combined, the other four starters on this year’s offensive line had played in 12 games and started none prior to this year. Dodge Ball Has Begun – 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. 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. 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. First-Year Head Coaches – Of the 24 Football Bowl Subdivision schools that made coaching changes this year, 13 hired coaches who have never been a college head coach. Through the first five weeks of the season, the 13 first-time head coaches have a combined record of 22-38. There is just one first-time head coach who is still undefeated this season, Jeff Jagodzinski at Boston College. There are 10 new head coaches at non-BCS schools this year and those coaches have combined for a 13-35 record so far. The combined record of all 24 teams with new head coaches in 2007 is 48-62. Rough Welcome – North Texas head coach Todd Dodge’s first game as a college head coach just so happened to come against one of the best teams in the nation. As just the sixth head coach in college football history to make the jump from high school to a major college, Dodge was just the second of those to begin his collegiate career against a ranked opponent. Bob Commings of Iowa lost 24-7 to sixth-ranked Michigan in his first game after coming from Massillon (Ohio) High School in 1974. Of the five previous coaches to jump from high school to major college, only Paul Brown of Ohio State had a winning record in his first year when he went 6-1-1 in 1941. Captains Named – North Texas head coach Todd Dodge announced that six players will serve as team captains for the 2007 season following a vote by team members. Seniors Jeremiah Chapman, Maurice Holman, Brandon Jackson, Derek Mendoza, Jamario Thomas and Aaron Weathers were chosen by their peers to lead the Mean Green this season. Home Grown – Of the 104 players on the North Texas roster, 94, or 90.4 percent, come from the state of Texas. Only four Football Bowl Subdivision schools have a higher percentage of in-state players on their respective rosters. San Jose State leads the way with 97.0 percent of its players (98 of 101) from the state of California. Florida Atlantic comes in second with 95.6 percent (88 of 92) of its players coming from Florida. Fresno State has 92.4 percent of its players (97 of 105) from California. The University of Texas has 92.3 percent of its roster (108 of 117) made up from kids hailing from the Lone Star State.

Of those 21 who saw their first action, 15 were freshman, including nine true freshmen. For redshirt freshmen offensive linemen Matt Menard and Esteban Santiago it was not only their first action in a game, it was also their first career start. Walk-on true freshman kicker Thomas Moreland also saw his first action. Walk-On Success – North Texas has had success in developing walk-on players into key contributors over the past few years. On this year’s team there are four starters who came to North Texas as walk-ons. Senior linebacker Derek Mendoza, junior punter Truman Spencer and junior wide receiver Casey Fitzgerald all came to North Texas as walk-ons but have earned scholarships in their time on the team. Freshman kicker Thomas Moreland is the remaining starter who came as a non-scholarship player. Perhaps the best player in North Texas history that originally came as a walk-on was linebacker Chris Hurd who concluded his career as the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2003. 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. Building a Winning Attitude – Head Coach Todd Dodge has made it a mission to build his team with players who have experienced winning and been around winning programs. The 18 freshmen who make up Dodge’s first signing class have combined to play in a total of 11 state championship games in high school. Of those 11 state championship appearances, seven have won state titles. Wide receivers Sam Dibrell and Marcus King, linebacker Justin Padron, defensive end Kyle Russo and quarterback Giovanni Vizza all won at least one state championship in high school. 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. Letterman Breakdown – Of the 104 players on the current North Texas roster, 45 have earned at least one varsity letter while playing football for the Mean Green. Only 11 players have earned three letters and eight of those are expected to be starters this week. There are 16 players who have earned two letters and 18 who have earned one letter. Of the 59 players who have not yet earned a varsity letter at North Texas, 16 are in the current two-deep. Television Time – North Texas is scheduled to play on television five times in 2007, including the season-opener at Oklahoma which was televised nationally by FOX Sports Net. The home-opener against Florida Atlantic will be televised back to the state of Florida as part of the Owls television deal on Sept. 22. The Mean Green will also play on ESPN Regional as part of the Sun Belt Conference television package in games against LouisianaLafayette, Louisiana-Monroe and Arkansas State. Size Wise – Senior defensive end Blake Burruss and freshman offensive lineman Jacob Kaiser are the tallest members of the Mean Green this year, standing at 6-7. Sophomore offensive lineman Ajani Banks is the heaviest North Texas player at 328 pounds. Backup running back Joshua Maldonado is the shortest player at 5-5 while cornerback Gary Oubre is the lightest at 160 pounds. Four Named Preseason All-Conference – North Texas placed four individuals on the Sun Belt preseason all-conference, which was more than every school in the league except Louisiana-Monroe and Middle Tennessee.

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 is being 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. Sun Belt Success – Since the inception of the Sun Belt Conference as a football league in 2001, North Texas has posted the best conference winning percentage of any of the eight league teams. The Mean Green is 29-12 in conference games since 2001 for a winning percentage of .707. Troy comes in second with a record of 16-7 (.696), followed by Middle Tennessee at 25-18 (.581), Arkansas State at 20-20 (.500), Florida Atlantic at 8-8 (.500), Louisiana-Lafayette at 18-23 (.439), Louisiana-Monroe at 17-24 (.415) and Florida International at 3-12 (.200).

At its current pace, North Texas would shatter the Sun Belt record for passing yards in a season, which was set by Idaho with 3,826 in 2001. North Texas wide receivers Casey Fitzgerald and Brandon Jackson rank first and second respectively in both receptions and receiving yards this year. At their current pace, both would break the Sun Belt record for receptions in a season and Fitzgerald would break the record for yards in a season. Thomas Breaks Free – Senior running back Jamario Thomas had his best game in some time against Florida Atlantic, rushing for 117 yards and one touchdown. Thomas broke the 42-yard scoring run early in the second quarter, which was his longest scoring run since the 10th game of his freshman season against Idaho. It was also his first touchdown run since the fourth game of the 2006 season – a span of 10 games. It was the 11th 100-yard rushing game of his career but his first in the last seven games. He currently ranks third on the Mean Green career rushing leaders list with 2,999 yards, which is 121 yards behind Ja’Quay Wilburn for second place. Move the Chains – Todd Dodge’s offensive system has helped North Texas move the ball successfully through three games this season. The Mean Green offense set a school record with 31 first downs against SMU in the second game and followed that up with 29 first downs against Florida Atlantic. Despite being 0-4, North Texas has 91 first downs which is a mark that took eight games to reach in 2006. North Texas has averaged 22.8 first downs per game this year after averaging 12.7 in 2006. Third Quarter Lagging – The North Texas offense has sputtered a bit coming out of the locker room after halftime this year. The Mean Green has 400 yards or more of offense in every quarter except the third, where it has totaled just 290 yards. North Texas has 56 rushing yards and 234 passing yards in the third quarter, which is well behind the 502 yards of offense the team has accumulated in the fourth quarter. Record Night – Junior quarterback Daniel Meager and junior wide receiver Casey Fitzgerald stormed their way into the record books with their performances earlier this year against SMU. Meager broke the North Texas single-game records for passing attempts with 64, passing completions with 46 and passing yards with 601. His passing yardage also ranks as the 12th-best single-game performance in NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision history. Fitzgerald broke the North Texas and Sun Belt Conference records for single-game receptions with 18 and receiving yards with 327. His reception total ties for the 18th-best in NCAA FBS history and his receiving yards is the fourth-best in NCAA FBS history. B-Jack on the Attack – Senior wide receiver Brandon Jackson came into this season with 41 career receptions and 463 career receiving yards. After four games this year, Jackson already has 33 receptions for 389 yards. Jackson set new career highs against SMU with 10 receptions for 133 yards, but was overshadowed by teammate Casey Fitzgerald who broke school records with his performance. Jackson currently ranks No. 9 nationally with an average of 8.3 receptions per game. Jackson is on pace to have 100 receptions and 1,166 receiving yards this season which would break North Texas single-season records… unless his teammate Fitzgerald has already raised the bar even higher. Two Hit the Century Mark –The Mean Green had two receivers with over 100 yards receiving against SMU which was the first time since Nov. 22, 1997 that feat had been accomplished at North Texas. Junior Casey Fitzgerald had 327 yards while senior Brandon Jackson had 133 yards against the Mustangs. The last time that had been accomplished before the SMU game was against Utah State in 1997 when Jay Young had 103 yards and Brock McCrew had 102 yards. Passing Fancy – Through four games this season, North Texas has amassed 1,323 yards of passing for an average of 330.8 yards per game, which ranks No. 9 nationally. The fourgame passing total for North Texas this year is already more yards than the Mean Green totaled in 23 different seasons. At the current pace, North Texas would have 1,654 passing yards after the fifth game, which is more than the Mean Green totaled in all of 2006 or 2005. The North Texas record for team passing yards in a season is 2,944 with an average of 294.4 yards per game, set in 1969.

The Mean Green defense came into last year’s game with ULL allowing an average of 356 yards per game and the Ragin’ Cajuns came into the game averaging 314 yards of offense. The amazing statistic from that game was that ULL came into the game leading the Sun Belt Conference with a rushing average of 189.5 yards per game, but was held to just 40 yards on the ground against the Mean Green. Quick Strikes – The North Texas defense will try to limit the quick strike scoring drives this week after allowing Arkansas to hit the Mean Green with eight touchdown drives that consumed less than two minutes of clock time. The only touchdown drive by the Razorbacks that took more than two minutes was an eight-play drive that took 2:36. In four games, the Mean Green has allowed 19 scoring drives that were two minutes or less. Short Drives – There is a stark contrast between North Texas and its opponents in the number of plays consumed during scoring drives. In four games, North Texas has 12 scoring drives and has averaged 7.7 plays in those drives. Mean Green opponents have had 32 scoring drives and have averaged 5.9 plays per drive. Of the 12 Mean Green scoring drives, four (33 percent) have lasted 10 plays or more. Of the 32 opponent scoring drives, only four (13 percent) have lasted 10 plays or more. Spencer Shines – Junior all-conference punter Truman Spencer has turned in living up to his preseason billing as a Ray Guy Award candidate as one of the top punters in the nation. Spencer has averaged 41.3 yards per punt with 28 attempts in four games to rank 48th nationally. He boomed a career-long 73-yard punt against SMU, backing the Mustangs up to their own 3-yard line to start a drive. He had gone eight straight games (49 punts) without kicking a ball into the end zone for a touchback before having one against Arkansas. 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 lead their team in consecutive seasons since North Texas starting keeping tackles as a stat in 1977. Of the seven previous players to lead their teams in back-to-back years, Weathers is the only defensive back. After four games this year he leads the Mean Green with 32 tackles. Lack of Sacks – The Mean Green defense will be trying to increase its pressure on the quarterback against Louisiana-Lafayette this week after recording just two sacks in the first four games… both by senior captain Jeremiah Chapman. North Texas ranks last in the NCAA with just .5 sacks per game. Off-season Movement – There has been several position changes defensively for North Texas during the early part of this year. Junior Steve Warren has moved from safety to linebacker which was complimented by the move of junior Germaine Dawson from linebacker to safety. 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. Looking for Picks – No Mean Green player recorded more than one interception during the 2006 season and Derek Mendoza is the only North Texas player to record one this year. Six North Texas players recorded one interception apiece last year. The only other time that a North Texas player has failed to record multiple interceptions was in 1997 and 1984. Troubled Returns - North Texas ranks last in the Sun Belt Conference in both kickoff and punt return average this year. The Mean Green averages 18.7 yards per kickoff return which ranks 107th nationally. Louisiana-Lafayette leads the Sun Belt in kickoff returns with an average of 21.2 yards per attempt. In punt returns, North Texas ranks 118th nationally with an average of 1.7 yards per return. Troy leads the league in punt returns with an average of 21.6. Breaking the Drought – It’s been 101 games and counting since North Texas has returned a kickoff for a touchdown. Broderick McGrew was the last Mean Green player to do so when he took a kickoff and returned it 100 yards in a 28-27 loss against Utah State on Nov. 14, 1998. The Mean Green is still well behind the streak leader Missouri, which has gone 273 games without returning a kickoff for a touchdown.

It marked the first ever night game at Bright House Networks Stadium. UCF (3-1) scored twice late in the second quarter to open-up a close game and take a 30-6 lead at the half.

Augustus Ashley blocked a Cajuns punt and returned it 19 yards for a touchdown with nine seconds left in the half.
