Dickey to name starting QB soon

11:40 PM CDT on Saturday, August 27, 2005

DENTON – Coach Darrell Dickey said he would name a starting quarterback for UNT's season opener at LSU on Sept. 3 in the next few days following the Mean Green's final scrimmage of fall practice Saturday morning.

Redshirt freshman Daniel Meager and freshman Matt Phillips have battled for the starting job throughout fall practice. Both worked with UNT's first-team offense during the scrimmage.

Briefly ...

Freshman safety Kartay Agbottah of Irving MacArthur, missed Saturday's scrimmage because he is still waiting for approval to play from the NCAA Clearinghouse. UNT coach Darrell Dickey said Agbottah has the required grades and test scores, which have been submitted.

Just a gut feeling and (basically) a guess, but I think Matt Phillips will get the startiing QB nod for LSU because I don't think Meager is 100% healed of his shoulder operation.

I think Dan Meager will play some even if Phillips starts, and I think Meager (once 100%) will play a whole bunch and may become the starter for most our games the balance of the season; that is, unless Matt Phillips plays lights out, makes a whole bunch of plays and makes it difficult for Meager to replace him.

As a MG fan, though, I am no less enthused with Dan Meager's future and only hope he can overcome and start having a little Lady Luck with the injury bug-a-boo thing of his.

TCU QB Tye Gunn has also been an oft' injured QB for the Horned Frogs, but when he has played is one of the top 3 (percentage-wise) winningest QB's in TCU's football history. He has missed many games in his 4 years at TCU, though.

Respectfully disagree with you, ol buddy. If both are performing equally well, Meager gets the start. True, he has no game experience, but he was on the sidelines of the Texas game last year, so at least he knows what to expect from a stadium holding 80,000+ hostile fans. I think that may be asking too much of Phillips. However, I do believe he'll see playing time as I'm sure DD doesn't want Meager to get slammede by the Tiger D. Hell, we may see more than two QB's if it gets ugly. blink.gif
