Dave Campbells has UNT at 6.5 +/-

NORTH TEXAS MEAN GREEN

The line: 6.5

Case for the over: Eric Morris knows how to win. He turned a dreadful Incarnate Word program into an FCS contender, and he hopes to take the Mean Green to the next step. And it isn’t like he inherited a roster without success. They played for a C-USA title in 2022 and former head coach Seth Littrell had the program in a bowl game almost every season. An improved offensive attack could unlock North Texas. Transfer quarterback Chandler Rogers showed his potential in the spring game. The running back room remains a strength, as does the secondary. It is possible for North Texas to start the season 5-1 or even 6-0 with an upset over Cal in Week 1. A Week 12 constes with Tulsa is also winnable. All North Texas must do is steal one from UTSA, SMU, UAB, Memphis, or Tulane to hit the over. 

Case for the under: Year 1 is never easy for a head football coach. The Mean Green lost starting quarterback Austin Aune and over 200 tackles from the linebacker position. The offensive line lacks true offensive tackles and the transfer portal hurt the wide receiver and defensive end position. The defense is transitioning to an odd man front and the roster might not feature enough big bodies up front to pull it off. The second half of the schedule is a brutal run.

If SMU does not hit well over 7.5 with their payroll, their HC needs to be fired.

I been thinking about Cal coming here and how the heat might bother them a little.  I think the right thing we should do is hose down the bench area so it is nice and wet prior to pregame warm ups.😉

I would bet everything I own SMU goes over 7.5. I believe Vegas has them at 8.

I think they go 9-3 with losses to OU, TCU, and a surprise conference loss.

Our defensive secondary?? I don't think many UNT fans would consider our secondary a strength. We were 110 in passing defense last year and gave up TONS of big plays.

Offense was not our problem the last two years.  We rarely kept anyone from scoring at will.  We could not tackle and had to move a LB to S just to get someone in the secondary to make contact.  Also, we ran an odd man front the last two years.

It would be nice if these people actually did a little research before writing about us.  Just once, do the minimum amount of actual research.

Here's Craven's explanation for saying the secondary is a strength:

 

Still doesn't make sense to call them a strength right now. Especially, when he called out the Oline and WRs as potential shortfalls. If the secondary is a strength of this team it would be a big surprise.

Sounds like DC's UNT coverage is coming from where the sun don't shine again... these guys are truly pathetic.

I hope you like him too. He's our best secondary player coming back.
