Todd Dodge sat down after his radio show for a while today and went over a few things:
_ Riley Dodge is having surgery to insert a permanent pin in his wrist on Tuesday and could return late this season.
_ Chase Baine should look more comfortable in the pocket this week with a game under his belt, and he'll be working this week on staying in their and not taking off on first impulse.
_ True freshman Brandin Byrd will be worked into this week's game plan to the point where Lance Dunbar doesn't take the kind of pounding he took against Arkansas State. Byrd is not a wildcat-play option, and Dodge said that component of the offense has about run its course with current state of UNT's personnel. It's not dead, and certain plays have wildcat characteristics or tendencies, but for the most part it's more terminology than anything else. Darius Carey isn't completely comfortable as a wildcat guy, so they're looking for other ways to keep him involved near the line of scrimmage.
_ RB James Hamilton, who has a foot injury similar to that of center J.J. Johnson's, isn't expected back this season.
_ This didn't come from Dodge, but there's a postscript to UNT's truly awful weekend two weeks ago before the Louisiana-Lafayette game. Darius Carey's mother took a nasty spill in her hotel room, ended up in the ER with a concussion and badly bruised foot. She went home the next day on crutches and was still recovering this past weekend.
When it rains...
