The Todd Dodge era at North Texas has entered its second year, but don't look for a Sun Belt Conference Championship just yet. One of the reasons is because Dodge is still bringing in his players who are learning his system. And his son, Riley, is expected to be on the red shirt list all season, so wait to see him in action next year.

"Five of our guys are either true freshman, red shirt freshman or sophomores," Dodge told me this week. That's a lot of kids running in directions they're not supposed to be running. "It's a young a football team," he says, "We've got only twelve guys that will exhaust their eligibility this year."

North Texas traveled to Kansas State last week where they lost 45-to-6. This week they host Tulsa which beat UAB last week 45-to-22. It is their home opener, so it will be a big day in Denton on Saturday. By the way if you're looking ahead, and who isn't, North Texas travels to LSU next weekend. No rest for the weary!
