UNT sees need to improve passing game

[Harry]

There were not as many bright spots for UNT in its win over TSU in terms of throwing the ball.

“DT just misfired on some throws,” McCarney said. “He would be the first one to tell you that. He missed on some throws that he makes every day in seven-on-seven and in situational drills.  He has made those throws countless times when we were open.”

One way in which UNT will look to adjust this week is finding a way to get Chancellor more involved in the offense again. The junior had four catches for 114 yards against LSU but didn’t have a reception against TSU.

McCarney said that UNT’s coaches talked immediately after the game about how Chancellor wasn’t involved the way the Mean Green needed him to be against TSU.

“Any time you can get the ball in Brelan’s hands, he can make a play,” Thompson said. “We absolutely have to get him the ball.”

UNT’s coaches and players believe they will be able to get back on track by making a few adjustments.

“We didn’t make some of the throws, complete some of the passes or execute like we need to,” McCarney said. “We were not as crisp as we needed to be on some routes. It’s all those things, but we are not looking for a new quarterback, we are not looking for a new system, and I am not looking for a new offensive coordinator or a new wide receivers coach. We know what we have, and we can fix it.”

I think the game plan for TS was very conservative, probably to work on some part of the offense and show very little of the offense. Brelan was not even on the field much of the time and we have barely used the four or five receiver sets during our first two games. Once we open up the play book our offense should be much more exciting and much tougher on defenses.
