Louisiana-Lafayette has enjoyed one advantage over the last few seasons, thanks to the rise in popularity of the spread offense in college football.

By TROY PHILLIPS DENTON - If North Texas coach Todd Dodge has plans this week to alter the quarterback position at all, it didn't sound like it Tuesday.

Nothing that took place on the field indicated there was anything different about North Texas latest workout of fall practice.

Head coach Todd Dodge shuffled his lineup Monday, moving Esteban Santiago from right guard to right tackle and former Argyle standout Victor Gill from tight end to left tackle.

UNT's offense produced four touchdowns on passes from four quarterbacks to four receivers during its first scrimmage of fall practice.

There isn't much about the North Texas football team that head coach Todd Dodge hasn't changed since he arrived before the beginning of last season.

For a player who has never seen the field in a college game, J.J. Johnson has gotten a lot of work over the last few months.

One of North Texas' goals heading into fall practice was to prepare for the coverage schemes that are sure to come its way after wide receiver Casey Fitzgerald burst onto the national scene a year ago.

Troy Franklin was sure he knew what his role would be in his first season at North Texas until just a few days ago.

North Texas was put in an unenviable situation over the last few weeks, when the Mean Green's coaching staff found out it will be without its projected starting defensive ends for the 2008 season.
