Practicing in pads will increase at UNT

DENTON – Coach Darrell Dickey said he will probably conduct more practices in pads in the next few weeks in an attempt to improve the Mean Green's execution.

Dickey usually scales back the number of practices in full pads midway through the season, but said the Mean Green needs the additional work to cut down on assignment and technique errors.

Offense works to improve on third down

DENTON – UNT was 1-for-14 on third down in its 13-10 win over Florida International on Saturday, a total the Mean Green must improve, UNT coach Darrell Dickey.

The Mean Green is converting 23.3 percent of its third downs, a total that ranks last in the Sun Belt Conference.

Hmmm, this team (with the exception of a player or two) has basically been practicing together since spring. So, all spring (which includes at least one 100+ play scrimmage) and all of the fall, they've been together and they still haven't gotten down their "assignments and techniques"?

It isn't as if they've suddenly been required to learn the Texas Tech offense or Urban Meyer's offense. This is the same plain vanilla offense that's been around since DD arrived in 98.
