Rating the teams on Texas' 2014 schedule

[Harry]

Normally season openers are cupcakes. The big programs invite a smaller school to come to town so it can pulverize its helpless victim. The cupcake limps away with a pocketful of cash. Everyone is happy.

News flash: North Texas was no cupcake in 2013.

The Mean Green won nine games last season. It is picked to win the Conference USA West division. On paper, this looks to be one of Texas most challenging season opening games in recent memory.

Upon closer inspection, however, North Texas is replacing some important pieces. There will be a new quarterback under center. Whoever it is, they will not have faced a team like Texas. Making your first collegiate start on the road in a hostile environment usually doesnt end well.

The defensive line must replace four starters. Smaller schools like North Texas dont simply reload at positions. There is usually a gradual learning curve that takes place.

This could be a tighter game than people expect. It could also turn into a rout if the Mean Green quarterbacks cant generate any offense.

Hostile Environment?

I thought the game was at DKR. Bunch of quiche-sucking Milquetoasts.

Here's to not being as bad as Kansas, apparently.

I doubt we will rout them, but it could be unfriendly to Strong when we get the lead.
