Dodge said Tuesday he’s concerned kick coverage could turn Saturday’s game at FAU against the Mean Green and "there could be personnel changes."

Wonder if he is talking players or coaches?

Looks like it has been a problem since last year:

Got away

A year ago, UNT let what looked like a sure victory against Florida Atlantic disappear in the fourth quarter. FAU (3-5, 1-2 Sun Belt) hosts UNT (1-8, 0-4) at 3 p.m. Saturday.

"We should have beat them last year," Dodge said. "It was one of those, as the year was over with, that you really wanted back. Then they end up winning the conference."

UNT led 17-3 early and 20-13 after three quarters. FAU scored twice off blocked UNT punts, drives that started at the Mean Green 18 and 17, respectively. FAU outscored UNT 20-0 in the final 18 minutes.

"That game really got them going and won a championship for them," Dodge said.

This has been an issue for way too long and it isn't a player problem.

We also new FAU's plays for half the game and called out their audibles - then things fell apart when they realized that and adjusted.

Must be nice.

      New Commit....Cahmai Crosby, combo guard......Kilgore JC

      Well, not a lot to go on other than the attached video on Crosby. Haven't found an entire game yet. This staff has done a great job with juco pickups over the years, so I can't question this one. Curious why the lack of quality offers though. The Thomas signing is ok considering he just started his senior season in high school. He looks a legit 6-7 with a very good body build. He could develop his game more but he is not the "great" recruit as advertised. I have subscribed to NFHS for a number of years now and recently saw his playoff game against Plano East last year. He's an above average HS center (presently) on a loaded Allen team. I'm sure we signed him to play the 4 as he does not have a perimeter game. Wish we had signed DJ Hall of Plano East who is better. Kid signed with Texas State as their highest recruit ever. Never saw any UNT offers.

      What is this program missing?

      Defensive recruiting/coaches have taken a backseat to offensive recruiting/coaches. I truly hope Morris quickly figures out that defense is necessary for winning. We just can’t rely on out scoring teams. I also hope Morris starts protecting the defense with his offensive play calls. When the defense just got off the field after a long drive by the other team, don’t be so aggressive with long passes that have us turning the ball over in less than a minute. Try to burn some clock and sustain a drive allowing the defense to rest and get adjustments from coaches.

      There is a certain coach in the Piney Woods that fits that criteria and has wanted to be at UNT for years.

      Its all about recruiting, it takes years for a coach to develop a consistent recruiting cycle, and Morris has only had one full year of recruiting, I do think the program is going in the right direction.
