How the West was won The Cougars’ hopes of winning the Western Division of Conference USA remain firmly intact following their 35-14 victory over rival Rice Over the course of the first three games of the season, the Cougars showed their inexperience. The up-tempo, score at will offense was the victim of turnovers and inability to move the football and the defense appeared to have taken a page from its Andrew predecessors. On Pate special teams, UH seemed light years away from the consistent electrifying plays of years past.

Then, Saturday against Rice, UH showed a glimpse of putting all three phases of the ball together – something not seen since the Ticket City bowl in January – defeating the Owls 35-14.

The week following, the weight appeared lifted off Levine’s shoulders, smiles became more prevalent in practice and press conferences and most importantly, the Cougars moved to 1-0 in conference.

However, the question still looms as to where this team will

stand in the ultra competitive Conference USA West Division.

Along with the Cougars, the preseason favorite SMU Mustangs and Tulsa Golden Hurricane have shown their capability and even the UTEP Minors could have what it takes to win the West.

Certainly, after what fans were subjected to open the season, it is nice to even put UH in the conversation.

This week, the North Texas Mean Green arrives at Robertson Stadium as a heavy underdog, a very similar sounding circumstance to plot of the humiliating week one blowout loss against Texas State.

At 1-3, and uncertainty about which direction the Cougars will head the remainder of the season, every snap will be more closely examined by specators against opponents like North Texas and UAB. As it did last season, the winner of the West could very well come down to the last game of the season. Then again, for now, let’s just focus on beating North Texas.

Defensive backs take shape Christopher Shelton Assistant sports editor

UH defensive backs D.J. Hayden and Trevon Stewart ready themselves for the play. | Rebekah Stearns/The Daily Cougar Levine threw freshman defensive back Trevon Stewart into the fire at free safety against UCLA — a position he had not played before — after making seven tackles at nickleback against Louisiana Tech.

Stewart took over for junior defensive back Kent Brooks, who opened the season as starting free

safety.

Junior defensive back Colton Valencia has taken over for senior defensive back Chris Cermin who is now second on the depth chart at strong safety four weeks into the season.

Levine said the squad is coming along.

“Our secondary is meshing

together well. Part of that is based a little from trying to find the right combination back there.

Trevon Stewart is a good example of that, moving from corner down to safety,” Levine said. “Colton Valencia, who was a special teams guy, is now a starter. Thomas Bates, also a special teams guy, is now working in the rotation at

At a position where tackling is imperative, senior corner D.J. Hayden said the secondary takes pride in themselves as twodimensional players.

“We pride ourselves on being able to tackle and cover because that’s what we have to do,” Hayden said.

Tackling was not always the Cougars’ strong suit however.

After UH struggled to make tackles in the first two games, head coach Tony Levine said he experimented with different combinations in the secondary.

“What we’ve seen out of the secondary the last few weeks is improved tackling. They’ve been physical, they set the edge better, and Saturday when Rice was throwing the ball we did not do a good job of covering the ball,” Levine said. “They had some great hits on Saturday, and they weren’t all from our linebackers, many were from our smaller defensive backs as well.”

corner.”

With the addition of Valencia and Stewart into the lineup, the Cougars are still not where they want to be. The team is 88th in the nation in pass efficiency defense, allowing opponents a rating of 139.6. UH is also 105th out of 120 schools in pass defense.

The secondary, self-coined as the The Jackboyz, had its best performance of the season against Rice. Owls redshirt freshman quarterback Driphus Jackson finished 17-35, throwing for 272 yards.

If not for an 88-yard touchdown pass, UH could have held Jackson under 200 yards passing.

Hayden said the secondary is a close group whose mix of veterans and young players came together in the summer.

“When they first came in and we used to have 7-on-7s, we got a feel for them and we just bonded,” Hayden said.

“We talk trash to the younger guys a little bit and give them a hard time, but they’re cool.”

The Charles Sims Show Known for his powerful burst of speed, UH’s running back has become a centerpiece within the Cougars’ air-raid offense

Running back Charles Sims races towards one of his three touchdowns at Reliant Stadium against Rice on Sept. 29. | Rebekah Stearns/The Daily Cougar

Andrew Pate Sports editor

In 1901 former President Theodore Roosevelt said, “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” For UH, no player exemplifies the old adage more than redshirt junior running back Charles Sims.

We’re just going to play our game and let our game do the talking.”

Charles Sims, discussing his philosophy on football The soft-spoken speedster rushed for 158 yards and a career-high of three touchdowns Saturday against Rice. Accordingly, Sims spoke for less than a minute at the post-game press conference.

“That’s fine with me,” Sims said when asked a lengthy question about carrying the ball between 25 and 30 times a game. “It felt pretty good to get back out there and make plays.”

Sims has gone far during his career with the Cougars. In a 73-17 rout of Tulane last season, the running back broke a 58-yearold school record by averaging 20.7 yards per carry. Three of the

10 carries were for more than 50 yards.

In addition to his visibility in UH football marketing, where Sims appears around the city on billboards, he can also play different roles in the up-tempo air-raid offense.

“He’s a dynamic player,” said head coach Tony Levine. “He may rush for three and he may rush for two, but at some point he’s going to break one and make a guy miss and take it for 50.”

Sims’ career at UH got off to a quick start in 2009 when he led the team in rushing with 698 yards and nine touchdowns, and was named Conference USA Freshman of the Year.

In June 2010, his career was put on hold when the NCAA ruled the runner ineligible for the upcoming season. The reasoning was kept private with University officials, citing privacy laws. Sims returned to the scene Spring 2011 and along with former running back Bryce Beall in the backfield, the tandem played an intricate part in the Cougars 13-1 campaign.

For all the individual accolades Sims has been a part of, the back maintains a certain philosophy on talking about his success.

“We’re just going to play our game and let our game do the talking,” Sims said.

Running game powers offense Tyler Owens North Texas Daily Five weeks into the 2012 season, the Mean Green is 2-3, but the running game has been something the offense can rely heavily on during the games.

Together, senior running back Jeremy Brown, redshirt freshman running back Antoinne Jimmerson and junior starting running back Brandin Byrd have lit up rivals’ defenses week after week.

Of the trio, Byrd is the hardnosed back who prefers to run straight at the defense rather than out finessing them.

“I make the one cut and get downhill as fast as I can,” Byrd said. “I don’t like to waste a movement if I can run full speed. I do a good job with that and just finishing with my pads.”

Sophomore offensive lineman Mason Y’Barbo attested to Byrd’s grittiness as well.

“Even though he can juke you and make you miss, when it comes down to it, he’d rather run straight at you, and we love him for that,” Y’Barbo said. “(Byrd) is not going to back down from anybody.”

In addition to how he plays and produces in games, it is the dedication he brings to the program every time he steps on the field

that makes him stand out among his peers.

“We don’t have a guy that works harder or has more character than Brandin Byrd,” head football coach Dan McCarney said.

“He’s all in. He loves it, he cares, he wants to be different. He wants to be a part of this turnaround so that they’ll be talking about us for a long time instead of (being) easily forgotten, and he comes to practice every day that way.”

Byrd has also developed a relationship with the offensive line that is a critical part of his running game’s success.

“He’s one of my best friends,” Y’Barbo said. “We’ve been together since we got here. I love blocking for him. The running game is a strong point for us, but it’s (the offensive line’s) responsibility. If we don’t take care of what we have to do, (the running backs) can’t do their job.”

Running backs coach Mike Grant said Byrd is correct in feeling no additional pressure than his position warrants, an important part of the philosophy that the team instills in its players.

“We operate under the ‘next man in’ philosophy,” Grant said.

“I want them to go as long as they can, as hard as they can and not leave anything in the tank because the next guy in is just as good.”

When the University of North Texas closes the book on the 2012 football season, it will also close the book on the Sun Belt Conference.

On July 1, the Mean Green will join Conference USA and will play teams that are more geographically relevant to its area.

“It’s going to be great for the school,” redshirt senior Christopher Bynes said. “Conference USA is way better than the Sun Belt, and it’ll bring in more athletes (and) more fans, so I think it’s a good move for the Mean Green.”

Though the team is 48-88 in its 12 years in the SBC and a lot of fans may consider UNT’s time in the conference as a low point for the program, the Mean Green was relatively successful in its early SBC years.

From 2001-2004 the Mean Green won the SBC and participated in the New Orleans Bowl four consecutive years under former head football coach Darrell Dickey, who earned four straight SBC Coach of the Year Awards.

During that time, the Mean Green offensive attack was led by running back Patrick Cobbs, who had 4,050 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns during his time at UNT. “When I first got to North Texas in 2001, that first year we won a Sun Belt title,” Cobbs said. “It was great to be in the Sun Belt, and for four years all the Sun Belt knew was North Texas being champions. Here lately, it hasn’t been so much.”

In 2005 UNT went from the best team in the conference to the worst and failed to win a home game that season.

In 2010, Athletic Director Rick Villarreal told ESPN Dallas’ Tim McMahon that the team had to move on.

“We haven’t done well because there was so much confusion and too much going on that we just went on a losing streak,” redshirt freshman running back Antoinne Jimmerson said. “That’s why we’re here now. We got a new coach, so we build a new team and a new family.”

The move to C-USA in July will provide UNT with an opportunity to start off fresh in a new conference.

“I think it’s a good move as far as getting more media exposure, and getting more TV exposure and letting everyone in the nation know who North Texas is,” junior defensive back Hilbert Jackson said.

Construction firm used by UNT, UH boasts national reputation Andrew Pate Sports editor When the University of North Texas athletic director was in search of construction services for the Mean Green’s new football stadium, he did not have to look far to see Manhattan Construction Group’s work on display.

“The easiest thing was that they were in the process of building the Cowboys Stadium,” Rick Villarreal said.

“We were able to tour the facility at different periods of time. Every time we were around their folks, you just saw things being done the right way.”

Nearly two years after breaking ground, North Texas opened up its $78 million Apogee Stadium last September in a game against the Cougars following a satisfying experience with the firm.

“The thing with Manhattan is that they will be very attentive to detail, but they’re also very open to doing things just a little better for you,” Villarreal said.

“There were several points in the construction where Manhattan said ‘if you wanted to do this at this time, you could go ahead and do it and save a lot of money

and it’s something that you will want later.’”

In addition to its work with North Texas and the Dallas Cowboys, the company has established its brand in Houston, partnering with the Texans to build Reliant Stadium and the Dynamo for BBVA Compass Stadium, something that appealed heavily to UH Athletic Director Mack Rhoades.

“Manhattan Construction Company has constructed preeminent athletics venues for successful sports franchises in this great city and in the state of Texas,” Rhoades said in a statement.

The project is expected to cost UH in the range of $105 million with construction beginning following the 2012 football season.

If the firm’s handling of UNT’s Apogee Stadium is any indication, Rhoades and the Cougars have a bright future to look forward to.

“The one thing that I would tell Mack is just to be open to their suggestions and be willing to discuss those things that are important to you,” Villarreal said.

“As you go through the process, they are a company that can make those things happen.”

Following the 2012 season, with the help of Manhattan Construction, UH will break ground on its new $105 million project which is expected to be ready by the 2014 season. | File photo/The Daily Cougar
