North Texas head coach Seth Littrell knows he can send only one guy out to start the Mean Green’s season opener at running back, but as of Tuesday, there were still two options for who that could be.
UNT released its first two-deep depth chart of the season Tuesday before its season opener against SMU at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in Apogee Stadium. The only ‘OR’ listed among the offensive starters was between Nic Smith and Loren Easly for the top spot at running back.
Smith, a sophomore, rushed 138 times last season for 684 yards and six touchdowns as a backup.
