North Texas hits the road Friday night to face struggling Charlotte in an American Athletic Conference matchup, pitting the nation's top scoring offense against a defense allowing roughly 440 yards and 35 points per game. Kickoff at Jerry Richardson Stadium is set for 7 p.m. EST on ESPN2.
The Mean Green (6–1, 2–1 AAC) are coming off a dominant 55–17 win over UTSA, powered by another strong showing from quarterback Drew Mestemaker. The junior has thrown for 1,860 yards and 17 touchdowns with just three interceptions, directing a unit that scores 45 points per game. Running back Caleb Hawkins adds balance with 499 yards and seven rushing scores, while receiver Wyatt Young leads with 396 yards and six touchdowns.
North Texas averages 456 total yards per game, including 275 through the air, and converts red-zone trips at a 95% clip — 16th in the FBS. Defensively, the Mean Green have been opportunistic, posting a plus-10 turnover margin, though their run defense remains a weakness at 203 yards allowed per game.
Charlotte (1–6, 0–4) continues to search for answers after a 49–14 loss to Temple, the 49ers' fourth straight defeat. The offense ranks near the bottom nationally in both scoring (17.1 points per game) and total yards (314.3). Injuries at quarterback have compounded the struggles, while the defense ranks in the bottom 15 FBS teams in yards and points allowed per game.

North Texas vs Charlotte Predictions and Picks
"North Texas did not let the sting of a 27-point home loss to AAC favorite South Florida grow into something bigger, as it pounded UTSA 55-17 at home as four-point favorites last week .... As a near four-touchdown favorite, North Texas is not in danger of losing this game outright to a Charlotte team that has lost its six games by an average of 21.8 points per game, and all by double digits." — Mike Spector, Sportsbook Review
"Charlotte's lack of offensive consistency and inability to stop the run or pass set up poorly against North Texas' high-octane attack. With the Mean Green's top-ranked scoring offense and deep running back rotation, expect them to take control early and never look back. Although the Mean Green's defense is vulnerable against the run, the 49ers lack the power run game to exploit it, and they also don't have the passing game to open things up or catch up once behind." — David Marotta, Winners and Whiners
"North Texas brings one of the nation's most productive offenses against a Charlotte defense ranked near the bottom in every major category .... The turnover disparity — +10 for North Texas versus -10 for Charlotte — is further evidence of the gap between the two. Expect the Mean Green to control this game early behind Mestemaker's passing and a potent red-zone attack." — Robert Antuann, Statsalt
