Five things SMU fans should know about North Texas

SMU opened the year with a loss to Baylor but will look to bounce back in Week 2 against a rival. Here are five things SMU fans should know about North Texas.

4. Young defense — If SMU’s offense looks anything like it did in the first half against Baylor, it should be able to exploit a relatively inexperienced North Texas defense. The Mean Green bring back just two starters on a defense that gave up 30 points per game last season. Not only that, the young unit will have to adapt to a new defensive coordinator. North Texas hired Chris Cosh this offseason after John Skladany retired at the end of the 2014 season. Cosh has 30 years of experience under his belt.

Some of the stats he gives, though true, are misleading. yeah, we only return 2 full-time starters. but a lot of the guys that are going to play in our 2-deep have started games over the past couple seasons. the "inexperience" statement is technically true, but also not at all. no one seems to want to give the caveat that most of the 33 games SMU has Played against UNT have been in Dallas. if I am correct, SMU has only played 3 games at unt since 1922. that is 3 out of 34... yeah, that is a fair series.

There is a lot this writer is missing about our team. Weapons that SMU simply do not have. I have a really good feeling our boys will win this one. And all of this doubt will go away come game time.
