Went to the Dodge radio show at The Pour House today. The fried shrimp's great.
Got some tape to transcribe, but I'll try to hit some highlights here:
_ Derek Thompson is done with a broken tibia and will redshirt this season. They thought it was the fibula at first. Chris Bynes has ruptured achilles tendon, Nick Leppo a torn ACL. He's now torn both ACL's since high school.
_ Aaron Fortenberry will start at center, with guard Kelvin Drake and true freshman Mason Y'Barbo as the backups.
_ Mike Outlaw will start at Bynes' outside WR spot, and B.J. Lewis is his backup. Breece Johnson backs up Tyler Stradford on the other side, but he's got some recovery to do this week on an outer-thigh bruise that has become infected and requires periodic draining. Jamaal Jackson and Alex Lott can bounce outside if necessary.
_ Offensive coordinator Mike Canales is glued to new (old) starting QB Riley Dodge this week to get him up to speed. Chase Baine is Dodge's backup. Canales is making it clear to Riley Dodge, his father said, that he is not expected to be a savior out there. Get the ball to as many people, protect it and run when the situation calls for it or presents itself. FAU isn't an easy first assignment for him, and UNT needs to prepare him accordingly.
_ Lance Dunbar needs to get about 28 touches per game, and receivers Darius Carey and Jamaal Jackson need about 16 combined in the offensive game plan going forward, Dodge said.
_ Daniel Prior, usually a LB, is training and meeting full-time as an offensive U-back.
