UNT looks to build on surprising success

No team in Conference USA made a bigger leap in 2016 than North Texas, which vaulted from one win to five and a bowl game in Seth Littrell's first season.

The Mean Green ended up losing in overtime to Army in the Heart of Dallas Bowl, which puts North Texas in the rather enviable position of having momentum to build off of while having a bitter taste to motivate it.

For a team with a nice mix of seven offensive and eight defensive starters returning, heading into the second season of new systems, UNT seems well-poised to move forward.

"You better have a chip on your shoulder, and you better figure out a way for whatever success you had, whether it's game to game, week to week, or as an entire season, to restart it, refocus, and make sure all your goals are right there in front of you," Littrell said.

      ARMY

      One could ask the same question in the opposite direction: who has North Texas beat that Army couldn't beat? I expect a hard-fought game on Saturday between two of the best teams in the conference.

      Prediction vs Army

      Army will have over 500 yards of offense by the end of the third quarter. After watching us against any team with a pulse on offense this year, it's probably not going to be a fun game for the home team.

      Brief History of the Mean Green

      And, while Joe Greene played at North Texas in the late 60s, the nickname “Mean Green” is actually in reference to the stingy defensive line (?) of that era.

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      entirely based on previous season stat lines and presumed fit, I mentally have Massie starting at the 4...he seems to bring a little bit more offensive game than Newell, and while he gives up some inches he did average more boards and he's pretty range-y and like Walker, averaged over a steal/game last season. plus assuming Vice and Smith aren't contributors this season, Newell and Lorient off the bench can give enough height to sort of combo man the 4/5 spot...neither is really a 5, but together you can get a rotation with Sissoko
