On today's News Sentinel Sports Page radio show, North Texas football coach Dan McCarney joined Vince Ferrara and Dustin Dopirak to discuss the Mean Green and their matchup with Tennessee.

UT takes on North Texas on Nov. 14 at Neyland Stadium.

"No question one of the most athletic teams that we saw on tape last year," McCarney said of the Vols. "(UT coach) Butch (Jones) has done a phenomenal job."

McCarney, an assistant head coach at Florida from 2008-2010, says he knows a talented SEC team when he sees one and believes Tennessee fits that mold.

"They'll be really hard to beat, no matter who they play, next year," he said. "There's speed, there's talent, there's depth. ... You see playmakers all over the field."

McCarney said he's "not real wild" about playing a team like Tennessee late in the season, and noted that the matchup was already set when he came aboard at North Texas.

"The game's scheduled, we're going to play, (and) we're not going to walk in with a white flag and surrender," he said.
