DENTON – The Mean Green football program will host their final spring practice of the year on Saturday, March 27 at noon. The practice, taking place at Apogee Stadium, will end with an intra-squad scrimmage.
As the spring practice season draws to a close, the Mean Green remain focused on improving from the 2020 season, which culminated in the program's fourth bowl appearance in five seasons. The practice sessions, a key part of development that was absent in 2020 due to COVID-19 protocols, have allowed the team to mesh with the new faces on the coaching staff, including new defensive coordinator and safeties coach Phil Bennett, Jim Gush (linebackers), Jarred Holley (cornerbacks), Blake Joseph (quarterbacks) and Matt Passwaters (defensive line).
Mean Green football will begin their season at home on September 4 against Northwestern State. North Texas will also host UAB, Marshall, Liberty, UTEP and UTSA and will have away games against SMU, Louisiana Tech, Missouri, Rice, Southern Miss and FIU.
