Well, it's game week y'all.

UNT doesn't have a FBS-level QB or DL. Can we win another game?

FAU has not won on the road since their triumph @ Southern Miss, last year. They're having a hard time putting points on the board when away from Boca Raton.

Can the Mean Green dig their heels in and push back to #hit6?

My heart says, yes.

My head says, "have you been watching the past few weeks"?

UNT: 24

FAU: 17

Our defense looked decent at times when wade was healthy. I will assume he is 100% and Lee is a little better. McNulty looked as if he could play average ball before he got hurt, he should be healthy like first half against Rice.

I say we squeak one out.

We didn't play either of the F_U schools last year (and therefore didn't beat them up), so they won't be coming into Apogee looking for revenge. So there's that...

Offense won't have any turnovers for points.

Defense will limit the big play.

U of NT 28

FAU 21

I think AM and the D play solidly, and DW comes in for limited action and shines. We win going away 34-14. If my crystal ball is correct, I plan on heading out to The Pass next week for the showdown game that could make or break our long odds chance at a decent season. If my ball is wrong, oh well see ya next season.

Take away the 120 points NT scored in two victories, it has scored, The offense has scored 155 points in the 6 losses. That's 25.8 points per game. FAU is better than SMU and their third team is better than Nicholls State. Anyone that believes the team will score 28 points has more faith than I do. The defense can't stop anyone, as the 42.6 ppg in 6 losses shows. Is it possible to hold FAU under 28 points? Seriously doubt it.

The numbers don't point to a Mean Green victory.

20k at the game?

It's possible since

1) it's homecoming and

2) weather forecast says low to mid 60s with 0% chance of rain. It will be beautiful tailgating weather all day

Homecoming games for the previous 4 years:

2010* 14,718

2011 17,815

2012 17,534

2013 26,119

*final year at Fouts

Last year might have been a bit of an aberration since the team was riding a 4-game winning streak, UTEP brought 2k fans, and it was a 2:30 kick...

but the weather was about the same as expected for tomorrow and it is homecoming. I'm going to guess 19,200 but wouldn't be surprised by anything between 17-21k. I seriously doubt FAU brings anything beyond 50, if that, so it's all on fans wearing green.

I'm still impressed at how many UTEP fans came out that day. They were getting blown out most every game yet they still had a great showing.

Although I wonder if those fans were just happy to have an excuse to get out of El Paso for a weekend.

If we have 16k for homecoming regardless of the season we are having I will be disappointed. This should be the automatic sellout every year with the amount of alum in the area and the student body size. The university has to start doing better non-football events to bring the alum home 1 time out of 365 days. I would be content with 19k (foreseeable future, not forever) for 5 home games every single year if we can bring in 110% capacity once a year for homecoming.
