Schedule Analysis: North Texas Mean Green
North Texas Mean Green hope a high-flying offense and improved defense lead to a winning record in the American Athletic Conference and a bowl berth in head coach Eric Morris's second season.
North Texas missed a bowl game for just the second time in eight seasons in head coach Eric Morris's inaugural year. It was as if the Mean Green took a two-part test and forgot there was a second part - leading the American Athletic Conference with 495 yards per game while finishing dead last in the nation in total defense. If North Texas can improve to 100th in the nation, it will be bowl bound. The year begins with what should be two wins against South Alabama and Stephen F. Austin before a soft-ish conference ramp-up with Tulsa and Florida Atlantic.
