Mean Green Offense Kicks Into Gear In Saturday Scrimmage

Courtesy: University of North Texas

Release: 08/19/2006

DENTON (8/19/06) – The North Texas offense rebounded from Wednesday’s sluggish showing, stringing together a respectable performance during Saturday morning’s scrimmage at Fouts Field.

The offense, which was plagued with timing and turnover issues earlier in the week, looked crisp and even explosive at times.

Quarterbacks Woody Wilson and Matt Phillips both made a case for the starting job, leading their squads to lengthy drives with efficiency.

Wilson, a dual-threat quarterback, showed impressive range, hooking up with freshman tight end Victor Gill on a pair of 20-plus yard patterns.

Joel Nwigwe looked sharp early for the Mean Green offense, showing off a series of moves that turned a sure loss into a nine yard gain on the team’s second possession. He later hauled in a 49-yard strike from Phillips that stopped just short of the endzone.

All-purpose back James Mitchell took the majority of the handoffs in the scrimmage’s opening drives and found success. The senior powered the offense to a 92-yard drive that culminated in a 23-yard Steven Woodward field goal.

An unlikely quarterback, Johnny Quinn, threw the day’s first touchdown pass. The senior wide receiver took a lateral from Phillips and found a wide open Zach Muzzy for a 63-yard trick-play score.

Quinn later snagged his own 23-yard touchdown grab from Phillips.

The Mean Green will have one more scrimmage next Saturday before kicking off the season at Texas on Sept. 2.

      East Texas A&M

      It was still reserved for A&M at the time but after they officially said no, that's when Southwest Texas got the green light.

      Army Game

      Army throws some unfamiliar stuff at teams. I hope we're prepared. We've had some epic battles with them, winning several, but they won the bowl game.

      Bosses are firing Gen Z workers months after hiring them

      I refuse to blame Gen Z. It was us that that restricted their ability to grow and mature. Mom and Dad both worked and had considerably less time to spend with frivolous childish activities. Since the 1990's we have been handing them better and better gaming systems to keep them occupied and out of our hair. Since 2007 we have been handing them, and buying for them, the most advanced phone systems that occupied them and kept them out of our hair. They never did anything outside unless they monitored by a parent or coach. We didn't teach them beneficial values; loyalty, honesty, appreciation, patriotism, piety, charity, and pity for the less fortunate. They got pumped on ADHD medicines because it made parenting even easier. We let some horrible people get elected due a created plague and misguided and contrived race riots. A Green New Deal and Inflation Reduction Act have almost killed the American Dream for this generation. Government entitlements are billed as the only way forward but those benefits are reserved only for certain demographics that place their vices, drug activity, and special interests before the best interests of their country. Their school teachers, many bound to an unholy allegiance to their America hating union bosses, have been of little help. College Admissions were based on DEI (disguised racism). F U Harvard. Now these kids are being launched into the real adult world without having been properly prepared, without having to have participating in all those frivolous indiscretions of youth, and they are viewed as misguided and lazy because of the liberal (socialist) values that have been forced on them. The American Dream is still attainable. Vote FOR America in the coming election (as opposed to voting against it) and the process of correction will begin. A certain party has tried to sell the young people's future away but the dream isn't dead. Review the issues. VOTE WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICA, and then live the fruitful and rewarding life of the American Dream. Or vote for the incompetent hag and her socialist agenda that are going to place everybody in poverty (equity) for generations. Like I said Gen Z, It's not your fault, but you're the only ones that can lead yourselves out of the mess that we allowed to develop. That or live like Brazil and Argentina in equity poverty. Please save yourselves. Please vote FOR America, live a wonderful and fruitful life, and raise your not yet envisioned children to live the American Dream. A "Woke" anti-America vote will ruin your children's and grandchildren's lives.
