Former Allen star QB Alec Morris hoping to end his roller-coaster senior season at UNT on an upswing

DENTON -- Quarterback Alec Morris appeared destined to carry North Texas' hopes of playing in a bowl game when he transferred from Alabama earlier this year.

It's been a wild and largely disappointing ride for the former Allen standout since, but it appears as if the senior is going to get his shot after all.

UNT lost starting quarterback Mason Fine to a shoulder injury in a loss to Western Kentucky on Saturday. Morris, whose run as UNT's starter lasted one game before he was benched, is suddenly carrying the Mean Green's hopes again heading into a game against Southern Miss on Saturday at Apogee Stadium.
