UNT Game Preview Presented by Discover Denton: Lamar

We’ve finally made it through the long offseason, and game week is here. For North Texas fans, it’s hard to believe the program is already entering year three under head coach Eric Morris. Time flies when you’re having fun, and the Morris era has been full of high-scoring shootouts and offensive fireworks.

The 2025 season kicks off Saturday night in Denton as UNT hosts FCS Southland opponent Lamar. On paper, this looks like the type of game where the Mean Green should roll. But as the great Lee Corso would say: “Not so fast, my friend.”
