North Texas Releases 2017 Football Schedule

Mean Green Face Six Bowl Teams From Last Season, Host Lamar In Season-Opener

 

DENTON – Conference USA released its 2016 football schedule Thursday, setting the stage for head coach Seth Littrell’s second season in charge of the program. As it did in 2016, North Texas will play six home games and six road contests, and will have a midseason bye week.

The Mean Green enter 2017 after a successful first season under Littrell’s guidance. North Texas improved its win total from the previous season by four, improved its scoring average by 9.6 points per game and its scoring defense by 8.7 points per game. The year culminated with an appearance in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl.

This year's non-conference schedule features home dates against Lamar and Army, as well as road games to Iowa and Metroplex rival, SMU.

“We are excited to challenge ourselves this fall against a schedule of very good opponents and happy to have the opportunity to continue the growth of this program,” Littrell said. “Having now seen the quality of coaches and players in Conference USA, we know what it takes to compete at the top level. We hope our fans continue this journey with us by buying season tickets and packing Apogee stadium in 2017.”      

After opening with Lamar on Saturday, Sept. 2 at home, the Mean Green will face SMU for the fourth consecutive season, with this matchup taking place in Dallas at Gerald J. Ford Stadium on Sept. 9. It marks the 37th meeting all-time between the two.

On Sept. 16, the Mean Green travel to Iowa for only their second-ever meeting with the Hawkeyes, after the two faced off in Iowa City in 2015.

The non-conference schedule concludes on Nov. 18 with a Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl rematch with Army. The Mean Green faced the Black Knights twice in 2016, defeating them 35-18 in West Point, New York, on Oct. 22, and falling 38-31 in overtime on Dec. 27 in the bowl game. It will be the third meeting between North Texas and Army in the last 13 months.

The Mean Green’s Conference USA slate kicks off as they welcome back UAB to conference play on Sept. 23 at Apogee Stadium. Dates on Oct. 14 with UTSA, Oct. 28 with Old Dominion and Nov. 11 with UTEP round out the home conference schedule.

North Texas travels to Southern Miss on Sept. 30, Florida Atlantic on Oct. 21, Louisiana Tech on Nov. 4 and Rice to close the regular season on Nov. 25.

It is important to note that all games are subject to date changes and some dates are expected to move in the coming weeks in order accommodate national television. Game times have not yet been determined.

 

Season tickets for 2017 are set to go on sale on Wednesday, Feb. 1, coinciding with National Signing Day. Fans will be able to purchase tickets through the Mean Green athletics ticket office. For more information, visit MeanGreenSports.com or call the ticket office at 940-565-2527 or 800-868-2366.

Lamar? Opening day? Seriously?

Starting the season with a warmup opponent like the big boys do.

Army the other home OOC opponent.

6 home games.

SMU a non-travel "away" game for most fans.

I don't have a big problem with it.

We need to play someone like Lamar just as Iowa needs to play us.Six wins looks within reach.SMU,Iowa,So. Miss,ODU,LA.Tech look like loses, but its just January. Injuries and academics play a large roll in what we will put on the field in September.Good schedule, especially the bye week before UTSA.

This is why I love CUSA West, 

  • 8 Games in TX
  • 1 in Louisiana. 
  • 1 in Iowa.
  • 1 in Mississippi. 
  • 1 in Florida.  

No problem opening up with Lamar, prefer to open with a 1AA or G5.  I think the win against Idaho in 2013 was the springboard to the success that followed.

Rice Stadium is going to be pretty empty on 11/25.  Since it's Thanksgiving weekend, I don't expect many NT fans to make the trip, not like this year.

But... I'll be there - it's a "home game" for me!

So nice to have 6 actual home games!

What the hell do you mean SMU is a home game?

Good riddance...

Come on dude........we bring as many into that stadium as they do.  It's pretty much a home game.  Dominate Lamar, as we should, and you could see a great turnout there (gonna have to advertise though Batchelder).

When I read about Lamar I always laugh because of the name. Younger people might not know what I'm talking. There's only one Lamar!

And his javelin throw was something to behold!

      He could be a really good example of the rich getting richer if his draft stock stays low due to his age. Imagine a team like Dallas, Boston, Denver, or OKC getting him late in the first round and bringing his energy off the bench for the next few years. I'd hate for my team to go against him.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      This could be our Deion Sanders hire or our Trent Dilder hire. Definitely could be a huge hit or a massive miss. If UNT wants a circus, I got my popcorn ready.

      Not a good day for the Big East either. These "ranked" teams losing big just show how unreliable early season rankings are. Wonder if UConn will be ranked after 3 straight loses.

      He’s the HC. Who’s to stop him from making the final decisions? He does it because he can and he’s got free reign. These are just some of the poor HC tactics he’s made. Regarding missing two FGs the last game, one was on the kicker and the other on EM. The second miss was due to the FH team getting out late. Probably coz he was unsure whether to go for it or not. Then he scoots the unit out late. You hate to rush things like that.

      AAC News: New Rice HC, Scott Abell

      I think running the triple option is a genius move by Rice. I’ve always wanted North Texas to do it and believe it will be even more effective in today’s NIL/transfer portal environment. If Rice gets a great triple option QB, he is less likely to be poached by the P4. Why would they need a triple option QB? Running the triple option, Rice can use smaller, more athletic offensive linemen who are easier to acquire and retain as these type of players are also in less demand by the P4. You do need good running backs, but this is the easiest position to acquire and many good running backs would be excited to play in this offense. A triple option offense also shortens a game and can give a “less talented” team a better chance to win by limiting the possessions and opportunities of the other team (See North Texas basketball) Good move by Rice. This differentiates them and I believe it will be successful. Maybe UNT’s next coach can bring the slot-T offense (which is wildly successful right now in Texas high schools) back to major college football?
