North Texas Mean Green College Football Pregame Quote, 09/27/2022

On being more balanced offensively this season:

It’s not so much a shift, but we’re more comfortable and everyone is on the same page with what we’re looking for. There’s no doubt in my mind we have to have a certain physicality to win a game and the run game is a part of that and we have to run the ball to have success, but last week (against Memphis) there weren’t many good run plays with seven, eight or nine guys in the box. You have to be able to make plays on the perimeter and pitch and catch the ball. We made some plays which will only build confidence. We’re gonna need that because we can’t allow people to load up the box on us like that.

On DB/KR/WR Kay/on Horton:

I didn’t know he was coming here until he came. He graduated and wanted to come to North Texas and asked if he could be a part of the team, and we’re fortunate he did.

On small mistakes that add up:

It’s the little mistakes that add on together and stack on top of each other. They’re little but they become big. We have a good football team and a very talented football team that can win games, but at the same time it still takes execution and it’s not just about effort and energy.
