North Texas Announces 2009 Football Schedule

DENTON, TEXAS (The University of North Texas has announced its 2009 football schedule, which includes six home games for the first time since 1993. Four of North Texas’ 12 opponents in 2009 played in bowl games last season and in addition to the eight-game Sun Belt Conference slate, the schedule features a late-season home game against Army.

The Mean Green will play three of its first five games at home in 2009, which is also the first time that has happened since 1993. The first two games of the season will feature matchups with Mid-American Conference teams. North Texas travels to Ball State to open the season on Thursday, Sept. 3 before returning to Denton for the home-opener against Ohio on Sept. 12. Ball State was ranked as high as No. 12 in the nation last year after starting the season 12-0 and playing in the MAC championship game and the GMAC Bowl. Ohio finished the 2008 season with a 4-8 record but won its final two games of the year.
