North Texas defense needs to improve

[meangreen11]

HUNTINGTON — The good news is that North Texas’ offense was the best offense in Conference USA last season.

The bad news is that the North Texas defense was one of the worst in FBS, if not THE worst.

That porous defense led coach Seth Littrell’s team to a losing record overall and even in Conference USA,

which was not the expectation coming into a season in which the Mean Green featured Jaelon Darden, one of the nation’s best pass receivers.

Unfortunately for North Texas, Darden has gone to the NFL and the defensive problems are still present.

Former SMU head coach Phil Bennett takes over the defense, which is a big step forward, but North Texas needs more than Bennett’s expertise to fix a defense that

allowed an FBS-worst 43 points per game while yielding 522 yards per game.

I believe in Coach Bennett as an experienced motivater who has the passion that seemed to be missing  the last couple of years...hope I'm right
