Last season took the Mean Green to a place they've never been before: the basement of a league it had dominated since it started in 2001. The Mean Green will try to reestablish that dominance atop the Sun Belt Conference now that their competitors have had a taste of victory. Sixteen starters are back and so is a lot of talent that got game time last season, thanks to a rash of injuries. As a result, North Texas should again win the Sun Belt Conference crown. The five Sun Belt Conference games they lost last season were by only a combined 21 points. Nine starters are back on offense, along with a healthy Jamario Thomas, the Running Back who was held back by a leg injury last year.

Thomas has a mean offensive line to open holes for him. The Mean Green should again be one of the best ground teams in the country. NTX also has one of the Sun Belt Conference's best Wide Receiving groups and reliable pivot play, which will give opposing SBC defensive coordinator fits. The team should double last year's scoring output (14 PPG). The Mean Green Defense is led by a stellar back seven, but is short on playmakers up front to contribute to the solid offense. Their schedule is extremely difficult, at least in conference games, but the Mean Green have skill and motivation to challenge for the Sun Belt Conference championship.
