UNT's Dickey: Thomas' big game started in practice

DENTON – Coach Darrell Dickey attributed Jamario Thomas' breakout game against Akron last Saturday to a new determination he showed in practice last week.

Thomas came into the weekend with 161 rushing yards in three games and nearly doubled that total with 120 yards against Akron, his top total since winning the national rushing title as a freshman.

"No one said anything to him last week, but he had the best week of practice he had in two years," Dickey said. "During our inside drill he would take the handoff and run 40 yards every time."

Briefly ...

Senior linebacker Phillip Graves could return from a knee injury he suffered during preseason practice in time for the Mean Green's game against Middle Tennessee on Saturday, Dickey said. ... Backup running back Evan Robertson will take on a bigger role on special teams after returning two kickoffs 38 yards and a punt 10 yards against Akron. ... The UNT soccer team (6-2-2) is ranked in Soccer Buzz magazine's Central Region rankings for a school record fifth straight week. UNT is No. 15.
