Longhorns need to take Mean Green seriously

[Harry]

The other bit of bad news here is that the Longhorns don’t exactly have the easiest start to the season. Many Texas fans will look past the opener against the North Texas Mean Green, but they shouldn’t. North Texas is a program on the rise, and they could give the Longhorns some trouble if they don’t take the Mean Green seriously. North Texas finished 9-4 last season, including a dominating win over the UNLV Rebels in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. Considering the trouble the Longhorns find themselves in right now, it probably wouldn’t be the biggest surprise of Week 1 if the Mean Green left Austin with a win.

Man oh man, that was a fun read. Who will they have playing receiver..... The TE's? UNT just needs to come into Austin and smack those T-sips right I'm the mouth and roll from there.

We can only hope that we stay injury free. Ash returning is huge for them even if he is injury prone. With their high powered running game, we will still have our hands very FULL

yup... this is going to be a fast boring game with the running backs probably getting 65% of the touches on both sides for this game...

i think both coaches know that this game is going to be won in the trenches...

the funny thing is, our O-Line vs their D-Line is going to be a matchup of two very good units, while their O-Line vs our D-Line is going to be a battle of two unproven units...

let's just hope our d-line surprises like it did last year.

You know what? I kinda hope they don't take us seriously.

Ash may never drop back to pass in this game.

Once maybe twice to see if our secondary is paying attention to the play-action. Otherwise, Brown & Gray all day.

We need some bleach.
