North Texas seems to have unearthed a gem at quarterback in sophomore Derek Thompson, as he put together yet another solid passing day for the Mean Green.  Thompson struggled earlier this season, but he completed 31-of-38 passes for 331 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception against Troy.

With Dan McCarney running this team, Thompson could have a bright future ahead of him and will be one to monitor heading into next year.
