Texas opens its football season at 7:00 p.m. Saturday against North Texas. Here’s a quick scouting report of the Mean Green:

2013 record: 9-4

Key number: 7. North Texas won seven of its last eight games in 2013.

1. No Cupcake: The Mean Green have long been known as an easy in-state win for Texas gets each time they meet, but that is no longer the case. North Texas head coach Dan McCarney has turned the Denton program around, leading them to a 9-4 record last season and a victory in the Heart of Dallas Bowl, the team’s first bowl victory since 2002.

2. Fresh Faces: The core of last year’s historic team at North Texas is almost entirely gone. The Mean Green lost their starting quarterback and running back, their top two receivers, top two tacklers and top two pass rushers from last season. This team will look entirely different from the one that knocked off UNLV in January.
