NORTH TEXAS MEAN GREEN The line: 6.5 Case for the over: Eric Morris knows how to win. He turned a dreadful Incarnate Word program into an FCS contender, and he hopes to take the Mean Green to the next step. And it isn’t like he inherited a roster without success. They played for a C-USA title in 2022 and former head coach Seth Littrell had the program in a bowl game almost every season. An improved offensive attack could unlock North Texas. Transfer quarterback Chandler Rogers showed his potential in the spring game. The running back room remains a strength, as does the secondary. It is possible for North Texas to start the season 5-1 or even 6-0 with an upset over Cal in Week 1. A Week 12 constes with Tulsa is also winnable. All North Texas must do is steal one from UTSA, SMU, UAB, Memphis, or Tulane to hit the over. Case for the under: Year 1 is never easy for a head football coach. The Mean Green lost starting quarterback Austin Aune and over 200 tackles from the linebacker position. The offensive line lacks true offensive tackles and the transfer portal hurt the wide receiver and defensive end position. The defense is transitioning to an odd man front and the roster might not feature enough big bodies up front to pull it off. The second half of the schedule is a brutal run. read more: https://www.texasfootball.com/article/2023/06/14/over-or-under-the-case-for-each-g5-program-in-texas?ref=related_thumb

North Texas – WR Jay Maclin The Mean Green require more explosiveness in the passing game to compete in Conference USA. As a team, North Texas only recorded 12 passing touchdowns last season. Maclin provides speed and big-play ability as a deep threat and after the catch. The Missouri transfer is one of the new faces in Denton hoping to jumpstart the offense. He spent two seasons at Missouri prior to arriving at North Texas. He redshirted in 2020 and missed 2021 with injury. read more: https://www.texasfootball.com/article/2022/08/09/one-key-newcomer-from-each-g5-program-in-texas-heading-into-the-2022-football-season?ref=article_preview_img

http://www.texasfootball.com/college-news/view/180400 North Texas: October 5 at Tulane Last year was disappointing for the Mean Green. A 4-8 record a step back from the relative progress of 2011 and the feeling that they let a couple of key conference games get away. But the 2013 season feels like a season of redemption, and they can kick that off (after a brutal non-conference trip to Athens, Georgia to play UGA) by taking on the Green Wave. This isnt the Tulane squad of yesteryear this team looks like it has a pulse but this is still a team that the Mean Green should expect to beat, even on the road. Theyll have a week off to prepare for it, and they could really get off on the right foot in conference play by taking the fight to Tulane.

his standings table and explanation records don't match up, but Tepper takes a walk down memory lane over two decades later. Would've been nice if he had talked about UTEP and UNT also, maybe even UTSA and Texas State. I mean if it's all hypothetical, maybe we wouldve finally gotten into the SWC.. http://www.texasfootball.com/college-news/view/180387

I was reading through the bible and notice that Brandon McCoy (Sarge)had been selected 2 team ALL TEXAS TEAM at defensive end. I sort of did a double take...I mean I know he's a good player and had received some preseason love from Athlon and Phil Steele but that is pretty high cotton with him being alongside of the UT/A&M and TCU's... really like his size and would love to see him have a monster year for us. Great story in that he was in the Army from 2004-09!
