Can the North Texas Mean Green keep the momentum rolling from last year's successful campaign, or will there he hiccups along the way?
Here's how Brett Vito see the season playing out:
North Texas vs. Lamar: Sept. 2
UNT opens the season against Lamar, a Southland Conference team that finished 3-8 last season. The Mean Green will have a golden opportunity to open the season with a win for just the second time in the last eight years. UNT will capitalize.
Prediction: UNT 37, Lamar 7
North Texas at SMU: Sept. 9
UNT has lost two straight to SMU and trails in the all-time series with one of its biggest rivals 30-5-1.
