Mean Green Blog

I went by football practice today, but before we get to the notes of the day, the guys over in sports information gave me this note that I found interesting.

Remember former UNT head tennis coach Dawna Prevette? She is a head coach again. This time at Penn State. Seriously.

Prevette had some good campaigns in her six-year tenure with the Mean Green before resigning. She ended up at Baylor as an assistant coach for one season and then landed another head coaching job, this time in the big time.

I wonder if Penn State might hire Darrell Dickey if Jo Pa hangs it up?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

And now for some football notes ...

Wide receiver B.J. Lewis caught a touchdown pass in team drills and looked good throughout the day.

Defensive end Eddrick Gilmore continues to look impressive. He zipped right past some of UNT's offensive linemen in pass rush drills and had a sack in team drills at the end of practice.

Tackle Matthew Menard worked in pass rush drills and appears to be back nearly at full strength. UNT could use him with the way its line has struggled at times with being shorthanded.

Cornerback Antoine Bush had a good day. He broke up a pass intended for Sam Roberson and had another nice pass breakup later on.

Wide receiver Greg Brown caught a touchdown pass while working with the third team offense.

UNT worked on specific situations during the late stages of practice. The Mean Green's offense began drives at its 1-yard line and the defense's 5-yard line going into the end zone.

Defensive coordinator Gary DeLoach is putting in the Mean Green's redzone defense this week, which could help UNT improve in an area it has struggled with throughout spring workouts.

Post your thoughts on the blog. Who do you think has made the biggest impression thus far in spring practice?
