Teams with one game behind them should hold a distinct advantage over 0-0 opponents breaking in a new coaching staff. The original spread of seven was scarily short, but the transition into double digits offers appeal with the Mean Green. They steamrolled UTEP last Saturday. Meanwhile, in addition to the new coaching staff, the Mustangs also must adjust to the departure of three of their four primary receivers. North Texas has tripped up its big football brother three times in 10 matchups this century, and conditions are ripe for a tight finish, if not a straight-up upset.
