North Texas Football Predictions

[Harry]

North Texas took a step backwards in the second season under head coach Dan McCarney, as they finished up at just 4-8 after winning five-games in his first year here. The Mean Green once again found it very difficult to win on the road. going just 1-6 away from Apogee Stadium and are now just 2-11 under McCarney.

North Texas was one of four teams to leave the Sun Belt to join Conference USA this season. While the Mean Green will be taking a step up in competition, they could be poised for their first bowl appearance in nearly a decade (2004). After returning just 11 starters in 2011 and a mere 13 in 2012, North Texas welcomes back 17 starters this season. It will without a doubt be the best team McCarney has fielded in Denton.

Great find Harry. A 6-6 prediction. A few things about his predictions. He had us going 2-2 non conference. I assume that is a win against Ball state. He also is down on Middle Tenn, and have them as win. They must be losing a lot of players. If we can beat Ball State and Middle Tenn at home, then we should beat Rice also. Apparently he feels the same. He has us going 6-0 at home.

He's not giving us much hope on the road though. He expects Tulane and so miss, to beat us. That's 0-6 on the road. I'll take 6 wins any way we can get it though.

I think he makes a valid point that Mac needs to win more games on the road. I also like the nugget he uncovered about us getting lucky in terms of the eastern conference games we drew were pretty charitable...ie we didn't draw Marshall or East Carolina.

I think we should win 6 games and with an upset somewhere along the way we would make it 7. T

3. North Texas – I’m looking for big improvements for the Mean Green in 2013, as head coach Dan McCarney is finally starting to get his recruits on the field. North Texas also has a transfer expected to start at quarterback, as they add in former Kansas signee Brock Bergland. As a whole the Mean Green have 17 starters coming back and with a couple of favorable non-conference matchups, I’ll call for them to get back to a bowl game for the first time since 2004.

Everyone wants it to happen, but it's going to be VERY tough sledding.
