The Mean Green (0-2) will
have its hands full, entering
the conest with a 1-41 all time
record against ranked teams.
Wide receiver Brelan
Chancellor has been a bright
spot for the Mean Green in its
first two games.
The sophomore was named
the Sun Belt Conference Special
Teams Player of the Week
for his performance against
Houston, in which he racked
up 286 yards on nine kickoff
returns.The Copperas Cover
native ran for a UNT record
332 all-purpose yards in the
loss. Chancellor currently leads
the nation in all-purpose yards
with an average of 297 yards
per game.
"North Texas is a team, in my
opinion, that has some very,
very good players that's very
capable of making explosive
plays," Alabama head coach
Nick Saban said in his weekly
press conference." [Head coach
Dan] McCarneyhas come from
some really goodprograms and
is a really good coach. You can
see a lot of improvement."
Senior running back Lance
Dunbar will hope to bounce
back Saturday after being held
to less than 100 yards the past

two weeks. Since becoming
a starter, Dunbar has never
rushed for less than 100 for
three consecutive games.
Seventeen starters - seven
offensive, 10 defensive-return
from Alabama's 2010-2011
team, including running back
Trent Richardson. The junior
has notched five touchdowns
in two games and is a candidate
for the Doak Walker Award.
"[I tell the players] all the
pressure is on Alabama,"
McCarney said. "In this wild
and wacky and crazy year of
college football, everybody has
to be ready."
The Mean Green has devel-
oped a history of facing the
nation's top teams, as Alabama
will be UNT's eleventh Top-10
ranked opponent since 2000.
UNT will visit Tuscaloosa
for the second time in three
years. The Mean Green and
Crimson Tide last met in the
2009-2010 season. Alabama
routed UNT 53-7 en route to
winning the 2009 BCS National
Championship.
Saturday's game will be
broadcasted on Fox Sports
South and ESPN3.com and can
be heard on 88.1 FM, KNTU.
UNT to face pair of California teams
Bobby Lewis
Senior StaffWriter
In its first action since suffering
its first loss of the season, the
Mean Green women's soccer
team will travel to Albuquerque,
N.M., for a pair of weekend games
in the Nike Classic.
UNT will start the tournament
against UC Riverside (3-4-1) at 5
p.m. today and finish up against
Cal State Fullerton (2-4-1) at 11:30
a.m. Sunday. Both games will be
played at the University of New
Mexico Soccer Complex.
"These games are not going to
be easy because California teams
can play," UNT head coach John
Hedlund said. "Their records
don't show it, but UC Riverside
beat Mississippi State, an SEC
team, and Fullerton has always
been a pretty good program."
With victories over the Titans
and Highlanders, UNT would
complete its non-conference
schedule with just one loss for
the first time in school history.
The Mean Green (5-1-1) tied
the school record for longest
unbeaten streak to start a season
last Friday, but had it snapped in a
2-0 loss to Baylor two days later.
"I think we'll be just fine
coming off of the loss," sopho-
more defender Tori Adame said.
"It wasn't like it was a bad loss.
They were a good team,"
In the loss against Baylor, UNT
brought only four players off the
bench because of injuries, but
Hedlund said that shouldn't be
a problem this weekend.
"It looks like we're going to
be able to get some of these kids
back for this weekend," Hedlund
said. "We get [senior defender]
Shannon Gorrie back, we get
[freshman midfielder] Leah
[Cox] back. So we get those two
back, which helps. I think it will
be better than we were against
Baylor."

game against Sam Hou ston with
a sprained knee, has already
been ruled out for this week-
end's games.
"Our goal this weekend is we
want to be 7-1-1 at the end of it,"
Lledlundsaid. "I think that would
give us a lot of confidence, a lot of
momentum, especially with the
big SMU win and having seven
wins under our belt."
Watch for UNT's offense to get going early
after being held without a goal for the first time
all season against Baylor. UNT leads the Sun
Belt in goals, so the offense certainly has the
explosiveness to score with the best. Expect a
pair of relatively easy wins this weekend.
