DENTON – Offensive lineman Josh Alexander will receive additional playing time during the Mean Green's game against Troy on Oct. 4, UNT coach Darrell Dickey said.

The sophomore has served as UNT's backup left tackle during the first three games of the season.

Dickey said giving Alexander additional time is one of a series of moves UNT is considering on its offensive line. The Mean Green is averaging 103 rushing yards a game, despite featuring Patrick Cobbs and Jamario Thomas, the last two national rushing champions.

For those who don't remember his time will come at the expense of starting LT Joel Foster, another soph who weighs in at 268...Alexander weighs in at 282 lbs. an additional 12 lbs...but still undersized.
