Ford Stadium (32,000) Dallas, Texas • 7 p.m. CDT The Particulars North Texas travels 35 miles to Dallas to take on SMU in a storied rivalry that was renewed last year after a 13-year hiatus. This will be the first time North Texas has played at SMU since 1992 and the first time ever in Gerald J. Ford Stadium which was opened for play in 2000. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. and there is no television. The game can be heard on the Mean Green Radio Network with George Dunham and Hank Dickenson. The Principals North Texas suffered a 79-10 loss at the hands of eighth-ranked Oklahoma in the season opener Saturday in Norman, Okla. It was a rough debut for the Mean Green’s first-year head coach Todd Dodge, who came to North Texas late last December after a highly-successful career at nearby Southlake Carroll High School. SMU opens the season at home against Texas Tech today and will have just four days off before hosting North Texas Saturday. The Mustangs return nine starters on offense and seven on defense from a team that was 6-6 last year. The Series SMU leads the series with North Texas 27-4-1, including a 21-1-1 record in Dallas. North Texas won just one of the first 22 meetings from 1922-1976, but the Mean Green has won two of the last three meetings, including a 24-6 victory last year in Denton. North Texas has never lost to SMU in Denton (2-0) but has won only one game in Dallas, which was a 7-0 victory in 1933. Next Game North Texas will have two weeks to prepare for its conference and home-opener against Florida Atlantic Sept. 22. That game will kickoff from Fouts Field at 6:05 p.m. SMU will play its second Sun Belt Conference opponent in as many weeks, traveling to Arkansas State Sept. 22.

Fry never faced North Texas while he was at SMU, but did battle the Mustangs three times while manning the sideline for the Mean Green. Fry was 1-2 against SMU… SMU sophomore center Mitch Enright and freshman linebacker Pete Fleps both played for North Texas head coach Todd Dodge at Southlake Carroll High School… SMU has three players on its team from Denton. Sophomore quarterback Justin Willis and freshman defensive lineman Ben Goldthorpe both played at Denton Ryan high school while freshman defensive end Anthony Sowe played at Denton High… SMU freshman running back DeMikel Shankel was an understudy for North Texas running back Jamario Thomas at Spring Hill High School in Longview, Texas… The play-by-play voice of SMU football is North Texas graduate Rich Phillips. Great Players in the Series – There have been several great players and coaches to take part in the rivalry between SMU and North Texas. Mean Green Hall of Famers J.T. Smith, Bernard Jackson, Burks Washington and Iseed Khoury are just a few of the players to face the Mustangs over the years. SMU greats Eric Dickerson, Craig James, and Reggie Dupard all faced North Texas during their outstanding collegiate careers. The 1976 matchup between North Texas and SMU featured several familiar names to Mean Green fans past and present. Khoury, Smith and Washington all played extensively in a game that ended with SMU winning 38-31. Also on that team were Frank Babb and Greg Davidson, who both have sons on the current Mean Green roster (Zach Babb and Christian Davidson). More on the 1976 Game – In perhaps the best game of the series with North Texas and SMU, the Mustangs held off a valiant comeback effort to win 38-31 at Texas Stadium. The two teams combined for 945 yards of total offense and 45 first downs. With SMU holding a 31-25 lead late in the fourth quarter North Texas appeared to have stopped a scoring threat by holding the Mustangs on a 4th-and-goal situation at the 1-yard line. North Texas was called for an off-sides penalty and SMU scored a touchdown on the next play to ice the game. North Texas head coach Hayden Fry was quoted after the game saying “We stop them at the goal line on fourth down and then line up off side. How we could be so stupid, I’ll never know.” Dodge Ball Begins – Todd Dodge became the 16th head coach in North Texas football history when he was hired to lead the Mean Green on Dec. 12, 2006. Dodge is back for his second tour of duty at North Texas after serving as the Mean Green passing game coordinator in 1992 and 1993. Over the last five years as the head coach at Southlake Carroll High School, Dodge led his team to an amazing 79-1 record while winning four state championships. His only loss during that time was by a single point in the 2003 state championship game. A Return to the North Texas Sideline – Mean Green head coach Todd Dodge is making his second tour of duty on the North Texas sideline after he was an assistant coach under Dennis Parker in 1992 and 1993. Dodge was the passing game coordinator under Parker, helping teach the most prolific passer in North Texas history Mitch Maher. During his two years as the passing game coordinator, Dodge’s offense totaled 4,806 passing yards for an average of 218.5 yards per game. Under his guidance in 1993, North Texas had 2,626 yards and 24 passing touchdowns, both of which have only been surpassed one time since then - and that was the year after Dodge left (1994). Maher, who holds North Texas passing records for career yards with 8,515, attributes much of his development to Dodge. North Texas has not had over 2,000 yards passing as a team since 1995, which was the first year the Mean Green returned to Div. I-A. Making the Rare Jump – North Texas head coach Todd Dodge became just the sixth coach in history to make the rare jump from high school to major college head coach when he was announced as the new Mean Green boss on Dec. 12, 2006. Dodge joins Paul Brown of Ohio State, who came from Massillon, Ohio High School in 1941; Roy Lester of Maryland, who came from Montgomery High School in Rockville, Md. in 1969; Bob Commings of Iowa, who came from Massillon High School in 1974; Jerry Faust of Notre Dame, who came from Moeller High School in Cincinnati in 1981 and Dennis Parker who came to North Texas from Marshall (Texas) High School in 1991. Brown coached for three seasons at Ohio State and had a career record of 18-8-1. Lester was 7-25 in three years at Maryland, Commings was 17-38 in five years at Iowa, Faust was 30-26-1 in five years at Notre Dame and Parker was 11-21-1 during his three years at North Texas. Rough Welcome – North Texas head coach Todd Dodge’s first game as a college head coach just so happened to come against one of the best teams in the nation. As just the sixth head coach in college football history to make the jump from high school to a major school, Dodge was just the second of those to begin his collegiate career against a ranked opponent. Bob Commings of Iowa lost 24-7 to sixth-ranked Michigan in his first game after coming from Massillon (Ohio) High School in 1974. Of the five previous coaches to jump from high school to major college, only Paul Brown of Ohio State had a winning record in his first year when he went 6-1-1 in 1941.

In 2002 North Texas lost to Texas 27-0 in the opener then defeated Nicholls State 23-0 the next week. In 2003 the Mean Green lost 37-3 at Oklahoma before defeating Baylor 52-14 in week two. Last year, North Texas lost 56-7 at Texas then came back to beat SMU 24-6 in its next game. The only time in the last five years that North Texas lost its first two games was 2004, which was also the last time the Mean Green won a conference championship and played in a bowl game. Fresh Faces – North Texas had 21 players make their first appearance in a game during last week’s loss to Oklahoma. Of those 21 who saw their first action, 15 were freshman, including nine true freshmen. For redshirt freshmen offensive linemen Matt Menard and Esteban Santiago it was not only their first action in a game, it was also their first career start. Walk-on true freshman kicker Thomas Moreland also saw his first action. Walk-On Success – North Texas has had success in developing walk-on players into key contributors over the past few years. On this year’s team there are four starters who came to North Texas as walk-ons. Senior linebacker Derek Mendoza, junior punter Truman Spencer and junior wide receiver Casey Fitzgerald all came to North Texas as walk-ons but have earned scholarships in their time on the team. Freshman kicker Thomas Moreland is the remaining starter who came as a non-scholarship player. Perhaps the best player in North Texas history that originally came as a walk-on was linebacker Chris Hurd who concluded his career as the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2003. Dodge Witnesses Another Record – Todd Dodge has always been considered an offense coach and he appreciates high scoring games – unless they come at his expense. Unfortunately for Dodge, he has been on the North Texas sideline for the two highestscoring games by an opponent. In 1993 he was the passing game coordinator for North Texas when the Mean Green allowed a school-record 76 points in the season opener to Nebraska. That dubious record was broken last week when North Texas allowed 79 points in a loss to Oklahoma. Top 10 Opponents – North Texas has played at least one top 10 opponent every year since 2000. Last week’s match-up against No. 8 Oklahoma was actually the lowest-ranked top 10 opponent North Texas has faced during that time. In 2000 the Mean Green faced No. 4 Kansas State, followed by No. 3 Oklahoma in 2001; No. 2 Texas in 2002; No. 1 Oklahoma in 2003; No. 7 Texas in 2004; No. 7 LSU in 2005 and No. 2 Texas in 2006. North Texas has never defeated a top 10 foe, going 0-13 in those games. Here are the results of North Texas’ games against ranked opponents: North Texas against Ranked Opponents 1974 #20 San Diego State W 14-0 1976 #19 Texas L 17-14 1978 #12 Texas L 26-16 1981 #6 Texas L 23-10 1983 #2 Texas L 26-6 1986 #16 Texas A&M L 48-28 1987 #1 Oklahoma L 69-14 1990 #12 Texas A&M L 40-8 1991 #9 Oklahoma L 40-2 1993 #9 Nebraska L 76-14 1995 #10 Oklahoma L 51-10 1995 #18 Alabama L 38-19 1996 1997 1998 2000 2001 2002 2003 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 #18 Arizona State #22 Texas A&M #17 Texas A&M #4 Kansas State #3 Oklahoma #2 Texas #1 Oklahoma #14 Arkansas #7 Texas #7 Louisiana State #3 Texas #8 Oklahoma L 52-7 L 36-10 L 28-9 L 55-10 L 37-10 L 27-0 L 37-3 L 31-7 L 65-0 L 56-3 L 56-7 L 79-10 Chasing a Repeat of History – North Texas had a combined 5-18 record over the past two years, going 2-9 in 2005 and 3-9 in 2006. The last time North Texas lost 18 games in a twoyear span was 1981-82, which it followed up with a conference championship and an 8-4 record in 1983. Building a Winning Attitude – Head Coach Todd Dodge has made it a mission to build his team with players who have experienced winning and been around winning programs. The 18 freshmen who make up Dodge’s first signing class have combined to play in a total of 11 state championship games in high school. Of those 11 state championship appearances, seven have won state titles. Wide receivers Sam Dibrell and Marcus King, linebacker Justin Padron, defensive end Kyle Russo and quarterback Giovanni Vizza all won at least one state championship in high school. Letterman Breakdown – Of the 104 players on the current North Texas roster, 45 have earned at least one varsity letter while playing football for the Mean Green. Only 11 players have earned three letters and eight of those are expected to be starters this week. There are 16 players who have earned two letters and 18 who have earned one letter. Of the 59 players who have not yet earned a varsity letter at North Texas, 16 are in the current two-deep.

Mean Green Picked Seventh – North Texas was picked to finish seventh in the preseason Sun Belt Conference poll which is voted on by league coaches and selected media. The Mean Green finished 2006 seventh in the standings with a 2-5 conference record. Coaches Up/Coaches Down – North Texas will put four assistant coaches in the press box during games and will have five assistants along with head coach Todd Dodge on the sideline. In the press box will be offensive coordinator Todd Ford, along with running backs coach Shelton Gandy, safeties coach Chuck Petersen and defensive ends coach David Rausch. On the sideline with Dodge will be defensive coordinator Ron Mendoza, defensive tackles coach Robert Drake, wide receivers coach Clayton George, cornerbacks coach Butch LaCroix and offensive line coach Spencer Leftwich. Graduate assistant coaches Beau Davidson and Scott Vestal will also be in the press box. Well Represented in the NFL – North Texas has had more players drafted to play professional football than any other team in the Sun Belt Conference. Since the first NFL draft in 1936, North Texas has had 77 players drafted, including seven players picked in the first round. Arkansas State is second among Sun Belt Schools which have had players drafted with 46.

Enrollment on Rapid Pace – The University of North Texas enrollment for the 2007 fall semester is 33,500, making it the fourth-largest university in the state of Texas. The enrollment has increased by an average of nearly five percent each year since 2000, when the enrollment was 26,493. North Texas is the fastest-growing university in Texas and at its current growth rate, would surpass the University of Houston by the year 2010. Along with Houston, only the University of Texas-Austin and Texas A&M University have more students than North Texas. Gender Equity Report Card - The North Texas athletic department ranked second in the nation and received a grade of ‘A’ on the Gender Equity Scorecard - an annual report published Penn State University-York in an attempt to measure each school’s commitment to women’s athletics. The report ranked colleges in the NCAA’s Football Bowl Subdivision on opportunities available to women’s athletics, including scholarships, participation, coaching salaries, recruitment budget and operating expenses. The study incorporated 113 colleges which represent the 11 major football playing conferences. The Mean Green finished second only to the University of Nevada, which finished on top of the study for the second straight year. North Texas is one of only 11 schools in the country, and the only program in the south, to receive a grade of ‘A’ from the scorecard. North Texas was also recognized as the champion of the Sun Belt Conference in which no other schools received the ‘A’ grade. Academic Achievement – North Texas placed 12 football players on the 2006-07 Sun Belt Conference Commissioners list which recognizes student-athletes who maintain a grade point average between 3.5 and 4.0 for the academic year.

Redshirt freshmen offensive linemen Matt Menard and Esteban Santiago joined true freshmen Giovanni Vizza, Micah Mosely, and B.J. Lewis on the field at the same time against the No. 8 Sooners. Meager Nears Mark – Junior quarterback Daniel Meager completed 15 of his 27 passes against Oklahoma which was only one completion shy of his career-best. Meager had 16 completions for 152 yards and one touchdown against Arkansas State in 2005. Vizza Shines in Debut – True freshman quarterback Giovanni Vizza came off the bench in the second half to spark North Texas’ only touchdown scoring drive against Oklahoma. Vizza hooked up with Casey Fitzgerald on a 69-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter. It was first time in North Texas history that a true freshman quarterback threw a touchdown in the first game of his career. Preseason Defensive Player of the Year Tyrell Johnson (Arkansas State, S) Sun Belt Standings Conference Leaders – North Texas wide receivers Casey Fitzgerald and Brandon Jackson both had seven catches against Oklahoma which was the most receptions by any Sun Belt Conference player in week one. Since the Sun Belt conference began football in 2001, the Mean Green has never had a receiver lead the league in receptions in any of the 69 regular-season weeks that it has played. Fitzgerald also leads the league in receiving yards which is another first for a North Texas player since the beginning of the Sun Belt. With the team’s 232 passing yards against Oklahoma, North Texas ranks second in the Sun Belt, which is also its highest ranking ever in that category. Passing Attack – North Texas attempted 38 passes in the season-opener against Oklahoma which was more attempts than the Mean Green had in any game last year. The last time North Texas attempted 38 passes in a game was the final game of the 2005 season when it threw 38 times against Arkansas State. Prior to 2005, North Texas had not attempted 38 passes in a game since the 1999 season.

His previous best for catches in a game was two and he previous best for receiving yards was 54, both which came last year against Louisiana-Lafayette. The 69-yard touchdown reception he had against the Sooners was the longest reception of his career and the longest by any Mean Green player since 1999. After the first week of play for all Sun Belt Conference teams, Fitzgerald leads the league in both receptions and receiving yards. 6 p.m. 1 p.,m. 5 p.m. 6 p.m. 6 p.m. 6 p.m. 6:05 p.m. Mosley Makes Plays – True freshman running back Micah Mosely saw his first action against Oklahoma showed signs of good things to come. While he only had five carries for 15 yards, he was the team’s leading rusher against the Sooners and had a nice 11yard run for a first down early in the third quarter. What a Kick – In his very first attempt as a collegiate kicker, walk-on freshman Thomas Moreland split the uprights on a 29-yard attempt in the third quarter against Oklahoma. The kicking duties had been up for grabs during fall practice with three true freshman walk-ons battling it out before Moreland secured the job. Ford One of Youngest – North Texas offensive coordinator Todd Ford is the fourthyoungest offensive coordinator in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Div. I-A). Ford was born on March 28, 1973 making him 34 years old during the 2007 season. Only Major Applewhite (29) of Alabama, Brian Harsin (30) of Boise State and Mark Helfrich (33) of Colorado are younger in the OC ranks. Among both offensive and defensive coordinators, Ford ranks as the 10th-youngest in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Thomas Eyeing Record – Senior running back Jamario Thomas currently ranks third on the North Texas career rushing leaders list. Thomas has 2,834 yards and needs just 286 yards to move into second place. To break the record of 3,050 career yards, which is held by his former teammate Patrick Cobbs, Thomas will need 1,217 yards. In Todd Dodge’s wide open offense at Southlake Carroll, he had a 1,500-yard rusher in each of his last three years.

Spencer had 10 punts and averaged 41.2 yards per punt which ranks second in the Sun Belt Conference after the first week. Spencer had a long punt of 53 yards against the Sooners and downed one punt inside the opponent 20-yard line. He has now gone six straight games (33 straight attempts) without booting a punt into the end zone for a touchback Weathering the Storm – Senior safety Aaron Weather led the team in tackles against Oklahoma which is the 10th time in 23 games that he has led the team in tackles. Weathers had nine stops against the Sooners and now has 200 career tackles which leads all current North Texas players. Looking for a Three-Peat – Aaron Weathers is looking to become the only Mean Green player in history to lead the team in tackles for three consecutive seasons. Weathers led the team with 113 tackles in 2005 and 78 last season. He becomes only the seventh player to lead their team in consecutive seasons since North Texas starting keeping tackles as a stat in 1977. Of the seven total, Weathers is the only defensive back. Lack of Sacks – North Texas faced one of the best offensive lines in the nation last week against Oklahoma and failed to record any quarterback sacks. The Mean Green is the only Sun Belt Conference team that didn’t have at least one quarterback sack in the opening week. Dating back to last year, North Texas has now gone three straight games without a sack with the last one coming against Louisiana-Lafayette in the 10th game of 2006. Stopping Big Plays – The Mean Green defense will have to improve its performance from last week when it allowed Oklahoma to average a record, 9.1 yards per play. That average broke the North Texas record for average yards per play allowed in a game, which was previously set when LSU averaged 8.8 yards per play against the Mean Green in 2005. In all, North Texas gave up 15 plays of more than 20 yards against the Sooners. Make Them Earn It – Against Oklahoma last week, the North Texas defense did not do good job of making the Sooners earn their touchdowns with long sustained scoring drives. Of the 11 touchdown drives by Oklahoma, eight came on five plays or less and took less than two minutes. Only one of the 11 touchdown drives by the Sooners lasted more than eight plays and that one covered 12 plays and took 4:43 off the game clock. Off-season Movement – There has been several position changes defensively for North Texas leading up to the season opener. Junior Steve Warren has moved from safety to linebacker which was complimented by the move of junior Germaine Dawson from linebacker to safety. Sophomore Desmon Chatman moved from cornerback to safety and is very close to cracking the two-deep. Former tight-ends Charlie Brown, Ryan Davenport, Draylen Ross and Bryant Seidle all found homes on the defensive side of the ball. Brown and Davenport are playing defensive end while Ross is a defensive tackle and Seidle is a linebacker. ‘Special’ for Two Seasons – The Mean Green special teams has gone 32 games without allowing a blocked punt. The last time North Texas had a punt blocked was against Baylor, Sept. 25, 2004. Junior punter Truman Spencer, has attempted 141 punts in his three-year career without giving up a blocked punt. The last time the Mean Green team went a whole season without allowing a blocked punt was 1996. Wealth of Experience – North Texas returns nine starters from its 2006 defense. Twelve of the top 13 tacklers, including the top eight tacklers, are back from last year. Defensive tackle Sky Pruitt and defensive back Roy Loren are the only two starters from 2006 who are not on the 2007 roster. Three of the four pre-season all-conference selections from North Texas are on the defensive side of the ball. North Texas has 19 defensive players on its current roster that have started at least one game while at North Texas. There are seven different defensive backs, seven linebackers and five defensive linemen who have at least one start. Nine of those players have started at least 10 games in their career, led by defensive end Jeremiah Chapman who has 24 career starts. There are five linebackers with at least 10 starts to their credit, led by Derek Mendoza and Maurice Holman who each have 22.

DALLAS (AP) – Texas Tech redshirt freshman Michael Crabtree had three touchdown catches to lead the Red Raiders past SMU, 49-9, Monday. Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell went 44-of-59 for 419 yards with four TDs. He also scored on a 1-yard dive. SMU, hoping to build off last year’s 6-6 season, held in pretty well early. But after Crabtree’s touchdown with two seconds left in the second quarter forced them to take a 21-3 deficit into halftime, they gained just 37 yards in the third quarter and seemed to lose their momentum. SMU punted on its first three drives of the second half, while committing two turnovers. SMU broke the skid with a 37-yard field goal from Thomas Morstead, who shined with additional kicks of 35 and 36. Justin Willis, the Conference USA freshman of the year last season, was 15-of-33 for 138 yards with two interceptions. He also was SMU’s leading rusher with 40 yards.
