Texas Longhorns Won’t Get An Easy Win Over UNT Mean Green

[Harry]

For the Texas Longhorns, adapting to new head coach Charlie Strong‘s way of doing things could mean some temporary discomfort in 2014. And unfortunately for the Longhorns, there will be no easing into the college football season with the North Texas Mean Green coming to Austin in Week 1.

Now, an upset is very unlikely. For all the challenges that might lay ahead for the Longhorns, they should easily best the Mean Green in the talent department. But that doesn’t mean that the Longhorns won’t be in for a game.

The Mean Green are a team on the rise under head coach Dan McCarney. After winning eight games in the four years before he arrived, the Mean Green topped that number by a win in his first two season. Then, last year, the Mean Green won nine games. The season culminated in a 36-14 thrashing of the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels in the Heart of Dallas Bowl that put North Texas on the national radar.

Much has been said about North Texas having to replace starters, etc. from last year. What has never been said is whether Strong and his staff are an adequate replacement for Brown and his staff...time will tell.

This is one of the most objective previews of this game that I have seen.
