UNT continued to steam toward the end of spring practice this afternoon and closed Monday’s workout with a scrimmage.
The big winner at the end of the day was probably Derek Thompson.
UNT’s returning starter went 4-for-5 on the opening drive of the scrimmage, which Reggie Pegram capped with a 14-yard run. Thompson hit on both of his attempts on the first-team’s second possession, including a nice throw on the sideline for a 24-yard strike to Brelan Chancellor. UNT looked like it would score again, but Darnell Smith fumbled after picking up 7 yards on a catch in the red zone. Thompson connected with Chancellor for another touchdown earlier in practice.
Andrew McNulty worked with the second team and also did some good things. He might be the best runner of UNT’s quarterbacks. He threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Brett Renger on the final play of practice.
Brock Berglund worked with the third team, which went three-and-out on its only series in the scrimmage at the end of the workout.
Berglund showed great athleticism and a sense of calm right before the scrimmage when he chased down a snap that sailed over his head, picked it up and made something out of nothing by scrambling up the sideline.
