by PegNews wire

The North Texas football squad completed its second full day of practice Tuesday with a two-hour workout at the North Texas Athletic Center.

PRACTICE NOTES:

· To begin practice, quarterback Nathan Tune saw action with both the first and second team offense.

· True freshman wide out, Sam Roberson recorded two touchdown receptions with Antoine Bush in coverage. Roberson, a 6-4 receiver from Somerville, out-jumped Bush in the corner of the endzone to pull down his first touchdown.

· Bush returned the favor later in the 11-on-11 drill when he picked off a Daniel Meager pass intended for Roberson.

· Latiff Nurudeen made a one-handed interception in one-on-one coverage drills.

· Working from the 30-yard line, Meager completed two consecutive passes to Brandon Jackson to get the Mean Green inside the five-yard line.

· Freshman QB, Giovanni Vizza instrumented a three-play drive capped off by an 11-yard touchdown pass to Marcus King.

· In a simulated two-minute drill, Meager ran a seven-play, 50-yard drive down to the 15-yard line. Meager was three-for-five on the drive.

· Running the same two-minute drill, Tune drove the ball down the field and hit Jackson on an out route for a nine-yard touchdown. Tune finished the drill four-for-five with the TD.
