Football: Vizza sees stock rise with UNT

Dodge says freshman in hunt to start against OU

Dodge is seriously considering starting Vizza at quarterback Sept. 1 at Oklahoma.

"The players competing for the job knew all along that we were going to evaluate Giovanni," Dodge said. "I have been pleased with how he has responded. The game is starting to slow down for him, which is important. He is definitely in the hunt."

Vizza (pronounced Vee-za) and junior Daniel Meager split time with the first team in UNT's initial scrimmage of fall practice Saturday, and they have continued to share time with the first team in practice this week.

Dodge counts landing Vizza was one of his biggest coups in recruiting since arriving at UNT.

"I don't know if we had the entire year to recruit the state of Texas that we could have found a better fit for what we like to do than Giovanni," Dodge said.

I can't help but think that Dodge's statements indicate that he made up his mind, and is only preparing the masses for a freshman QB against OU.

Since we're no longer concerned with political correctness...I'm going out on a limb and saying I doubt Casey [Fitzgerald] is Irish.

Agreed...I thought that was an odd ending to that post.

Vizza (pronounced Vee-za)...

Still not helpful! Vizza as in "visa" or Vizza as in "pizza"? We need to know if there is a soft 't' there.

[mad dog]

no "ts" sound. just a "z"

It took a very long time for someone to find the secret prize in the post. You win a decoder ring.

In other words, let individuals be individuals, not some preconceived label. Nothing PC about that. It's just common courtesy.

Daring to go back to the main subject of this thread....Vizza... I saw there was a very nice Son Of Worm logo on the top of the Dallas Morning News sports section this morning highlighting the lead to this article with the title in Bold: "Freshman could be QB". More good media for the program because of a freshman football recruit....
