The Wiz of Odds

North Texas

Dan McCarney had to make chicken salad out of chicken you-know-what when he arrived in Denton in 2011. North Texas had won only seven games in four seasons under the previous regime. It took McCarney, the former Iowa State coach, a couple of seasons to get the Mean Green moving, but he put together a nine-win campaign in 2013. The team slumped to four wins last fall and only nine starters return for this season, but McCarney is often his best as an underdog. Nonconference road games include trips to Iowa and Tennessee.

North Texas Powerbombs Southern Methodist

Wiz correspondent Greg Laughlin spent Saturday at Apogee Stadium in Denton, Texas, home of the North Texas Mean Green. Southern Methodist was the opponent and North Texas dismantled the Mustangs, 43-6. June Jones' team has scored six points in two games. How's that for offensive wizardry?

North Texas

If you haven't heard the story, there's a reason North Texas coach Dan McCarney wears sunglasses. McCarney, who turns 61 today, is blind in his right eye. He has had four surgeries in an attempt to restore vision to the eye, which is highly sensitive to light. But none of the procedures have worked and he has to put five different drops in the eye each day. McCarney's has revived the Mean Green program, leading it to a 9-4 record in 2013 that included a 36-14 victory over Nevada Las Vegas in the Heart of Dallas Bowl.
