A little about tomorrow's scrimmage

North Texas' football scrimmage tomorrow could provide a few clues as to where just about everyone on UNT's roster stands with the Mean Green's spring game rapidly approaching.

Head coach Todd Dodge said the scrimmage will have the No. 1 offense and No. 1 defense face off for 15 plays, followed by the No. 2 offense and defense for 15 plays and finally the third teams for 10 plays.

The scrimmage will conclude with the Mean Green running through certain situations, much like it did in its first scrimmage.

There is little doubt that Daniel Meager has tightened his grip on the starting quarterback job thus far in spring practice. What could be interesting is to see how the rest of the depth chart looks at this point.

The scrimmage and the spring game might be particularly important in a couple of position battles, including center and wide receiver. Kelvin Drake and Chad Rose are splitting time at center while several players are in the mix at wide receiver. UNT has six highly regarded receivers coming in this fall. Getting a leg up on the players already on the team would definitely help out players like Korey Washington and Brock Stickler, who are making a quick impression in spring practice.

It could also be interesting to see how Woody Wilson fares. Wilson is a terrific athlete who might be better off at another position if he cannot beat out Matt Phillips for the backup job, especially considering Giovanni Vizza will arrive in the fall. Vizza could compete for the starting job right away, leaving Wilson buried at fourth on the depth chart.

Wilson has the speed and quickness to contribute as a wide receiver or defensive back.

For more on the scrimmage, see tomorrow's edition of the Denton Record-Chronicle.

I hope the weather does not mess up this scrimage-

I would like to know which players are listed as 1st team offense and 1st team defense

I beleive Coach Dodge and his staff may be talking to Woody about a possible position

change. If this happens, I hope he can go to inside receiver to take advantage of his

speed!

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      Agree on JMU, they have a strong brand, fan base, and admin. that makes the right choices. For those same reasons I'd put App. State at #2.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      MWC is a push in overall terms from before the raid to after. Still a solid G6 but lower than the AAC in my mind. PACx has survived, which is all one can really expect for a conference that got shattered in the realignment. But the 2 legacy P4 schools cannot elevate that new version higher than the G6 bunch. Both of the conferences will get low-to-mid TV coverage, and fill the late schedule spots. For the AAC, I'm happy with Army over SMU. I wish we could have pulled Air Force, but so be it. I do expect the PACx to make another run at Memphis, that should be interesting. Fun fact: I've been tracking the realignment via a spreadsheet. As of the NIU change, 46 teams have changed conferences since OUT announced their move to the SEC.

      Transfer Portal Hits pre First Responder Bowl

      Because Morris & Cobbs believed they didn't need to. I think McGill, Harris, & Evans are returning, but who knows if Harris or Evans will even be healthy? We added Becks from MOSt, and Hawkins from HS in OK, but who knows what they bring? I don't know that McGill is a starting caliber RB in the AAC. If you think Porter should have been scholarship'd, you're second-guessing Pat. I doubt anyone around here really wants to second-guess Pat's judgement of talent. OR (and this is doubtful), Pat pushed to have Porter 'shiped, but Morris said "no". If that's the case, and Porter goes on to ball-out at UTEP while we struggle in the run game, it's another log on a growing fire under Morris' seat.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      The PAC stands a real chance of becoming the 'Big East of the West', but I think they'll still be fighting to get into the CFP each year with the rest of the G5. MWC obviously is a huge downgrade since they're the conference that got raided. The best thing they have going for them is stability. Outside of AFA and, to a lesser degree, NIU and UNLV, no one has any interest in those schools. AAC did well with the Army pickup. What happens in the next few years under the new commissioner will be important. As a conference, we've scheduled ourselves into a one bid joke like Sun Belt or CUSA. They've gotta figure out some strategy there. For football, it's hard to say we're better or worse off than last year. SMU going to the CFP was a fluke compared with the past 30 years, but I imagine they'll be a stronger program in general than they were in the AAC due to the amount of money and attention the ACC brings. At least while it lasts...

      I started to do "official" game threads almost 20 years ago for the men's games to try and create some order, but I don't mind when others do.
