The Houston Cougars will face off against the North Texas Mean Green at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday at TDECU Stadium. Houston struggled last year, ending up 4-8. North Texas was 4-8 last season and is coming off of a 65-35 defeat against the SMU Mustangs last week.

A pair of last-season defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Cougars ranked seventh worst in the nation with respect to passing yards allowed per game last year, where the team gave up 288.4 on average. To make matters even worse for Houston, North Texas was 10th best in the nation in passing touchdowns allowed, finishing the 2019 season giving up only 14.

Houston has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency. These early season matchups can go either way as both teams get back into playing shape.
