93. North Texas North Texas Preview | Offense | Defense | Depth Chart | Further Analysis

There are plenty of reasons to think this will finally be the year the Mean Green slips off the pedestal from the loss of steady QB Scott Hall to the overall inexperience on defense to the average offensive line, but somehow, someway, you just know Darrell Dickey's boys will find a way to get the job done again. Of course, it helps to have the nation's last two rushing champions in the backfield as Patrick Cobbs returns for a fifth season joining Jamario Thomas to form one of the most productive returning backfields in college football history. As long as massive QB Joey Byerly can be effective, there's no reason to think the offense can't be better, at least in Sun Belt play.

Relative strength: Running back Relative Weakness: Secondary

Star of the team: RB Patrick Cobbs, Sr. Key game: Sept. 10 at MTSU

I've given up on these pre-season ranking... they are worthless.

North Texas is always down there in rankngs. Winning doesnt seem to be enough nowdays.. you have to be successful against non-sunbelt teams, and be in a BCS conference. It's not like we are unrealistic..we are not expecting to be in the top ten, but #93rd????

This year will be a good one for us... Whe really cares where we are ranked in June?

(Uh, ok....I do)

GMG!!!

you have to be successful against non-sunbelt teams, and be in a BCS conference.

Why both of those? At this point don't we need to take care of the first of those two (OOC games); before we can start cussing the latter?

Boise State gets tons of respect and they are not in a BCS conference. However, they do win OOC Games.
