FINAL ANALYSIS

Walking around with a bull's-eye on its back was not a good way for an inexperienced and often-injured North Texas team to go through the 2005 season. The resulting 2-9 record was not a lie. But it didn't tell the entire story, either. In spite of their youth and injuries, the Mean Green went toe-to-toe with all of its Sun Belt Conference rivals.

Now that the youngsters have matured and the aches and pains have had time to heal, North Texas is poised to make a run for the Sun Belt title, a prize it considers its birthright. The real test will come from the schedule as UNT faces Arkansas State, UL Monroe and UL Lafayette on the road.
