Meager to start against Tulsa

Redshirt freshman quarterback Daniel Meager will start for the second straight game when UNT faces Tulsa on Saturday.

Meager started and threw for 122 yards in the Mean Green’s 14-7 win over Middle Tennessee last week. UNT coach Darrell Dickey said before the game that he planned to rotate quarterbacks, but stuck with Meager throughout the game.

Dickey said he was pleased with Meager’s performance, but could rotate quarterbacks against Tulsa depending on the situation. Freshman Matt Phillips and redshirt freshmen Kellen Haynes are among the quarterbacks who could enter the game after Meager.
