Our offense is way ahead of where it was last year (considering it was at 0)

Their defense wasn't very good last year. They gave up a ton of points...

I think it's a shoot out and I think our offense keeps rolling

 

UNT -  42

SMU - 38

Joke's on you. It's very intimidating. Twilight Sparkle is the princess of friendship and has her own castle... I mean... I've never heard of it...

Good luck to the Mean Green on this one.  Hoping to see a CUSA win here against a team UNT fans seem to love.  (sarcasm intended)  UNT 35 SMU 27

Well, here we are 1-0.  Woo-hoo! We whipped a team that hadn't practiced in a week, their hometown underwater, and minds elsewhere.  We beat them badly, as-expected.  I was concerned when I looked

How similar are our offensive/defensive schemes?

Off the top of my head, I can think of scenario where - when the teams knew each other inside-out - things just got sloppy and no fun to watch.  It's really hard for the players to make plays because the opposition can anticipate your every move.

I know they run a similar offense(Or did with Davis as QB) as Clemson, kind of a power spread, although that may have switched with Hicks being more of a pure passer.

Defensively, they run a 4-2-5, so similar to ours, but I think they're a little more straight up with blitzes. With 4 down lineman and only 2 backers it's a bit different in how you send your pressures.

1-0, rouge point on a missed FG in OT

What killed us last year was the mobil QB and of course the big wide out. I don't believe they are solid at QB?

UNT 33

SMU 26

The mobile QB that had a season ending injury early?

4- 2.5 -4.5 where the .5 is the STAR linebacker. "Get you a man who can do both."

Gonna add that I expect this to be a dog fight and not an easy win but I have to pick with my stupid SMOO heart and go with the horsies winning.

If we show up with anything looking like an offensive line I think we can win it.

Mean Green - 38

SMU - 28

Big IF.  

Still, in a game between ISIS and SMU I'd take ISIS and the points...so I'll say: 

NORTH TEXAS- 34

smu- 27

52-48 Mean Green. Mason Fine is about to emerge from the ashes with the burning power of ten thousand suns. I don't see our defense playing well against SMU, which is nothing other than a compliment to the talent Chad Morris is putting on the field. But I want to be proven wrong. If this team wants the W as badly as us fans do, we're gonna go and get that fat dub. 

Gonna be in section 104 with my dad yelling my ass off.

I'm going to predict they will be looking to stop the run at all costs. So if that happens this game gives Fine the opportunity to put the team on his shoulders. 

Mean Green- 23

$MU- 20

I think what you're describing is the position that Urlacher made famous while at UNM under FRanchione.  His was called the "Lobo" position, but it goes by different names depending on the school's mascot/branding...

A hybrid safety/LB athlete that is big and fast enough for both.

EDIT: upon further consideration, I recommend you call your's "My Pony".  That's intimidating for you BLVD folk, right?

Definitely expecting a high scoring shootout.

I have a bad feeling about our defense being able to stop the smoo offense.  I think it will come down to whether or not our offense can score.  In order to win, I expect us to have to score in the 40's.  Not sure that we are there yet.

What I want to happen:  42-38 Mean Green

What I am afraid will happen:  38-24 bad guys.

 

I just feel like the defense will need to have a great game if we want to win.  Maybe a couple of picks, or even a pick 6 will help.  smoo is pretty balanced.  

Go Mean Green!!

I so badly want a win at Ford Stadium this saturday.   This game seems like a tossup for the most part..  But, SMU has 2 distinct advantages on Saturday:

1) Courtland Sutton

2) Home field advantage

I think our guys will give it everything they have and make a game of it.  But, I saw enough of Sutton last year to know he is something special.

38-27 SMU  :(

P.S.-If Wilson goes wild on saturday, this could be a nail biter at the end.

      I agree. Injuries are bound to happen. They almost did tonight. They did last season. Utah State played without a starter tonight and last night due to food poisoning. You never know. We need more than 8 guys prepared to play effectively.

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      Giving a few guys some rest and clearing the bench are two different things. We were up 17 against UNI with a couple minutes left in the first half and again early in the second half. Those are prime opportunities to sub in your 9th and 10th guys and give a couple of your main rotation guys a few minutes of rest. We actually had a double digit lead most of the second half against UNI. It was never really threatened. Edit to add it's kind of funny to suggest we were never in a position to clear the bench against UNI yet Utah State played 11 guys against us and 10 against St Bonaventure. Some get on for less than 10 minutes but I promise you a starter gets needed rest for those few minutes they get to sit. Maybe we should do as the top 30 team does?

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      the UNI game was a 9 point game with 3:30 to play. 57-48. we shut them out from there to push it to 20, but at no point short of the last minute or so was it even possible to clear the bench. everybody needs stop over-analyzing tonight's loss. it was a toss up...they made a few more plays than we did. play the game ten times and it's 5/5 with a top 30 team that might sneak into the top 25 by Christmas.

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      Hard to blame the refs when we forced 16 turnovers and took 15 more shots. Just couldn't hit our shots. Sometimes you're cold. I'm going to agree with @UNTLiferwho said we should have played bench guys against UNI considering it was a blowout. Have to give your starters rest when you can, especially on the first of a back-to-back.

      oh no...a downvote. articulate a half-decent opinion or go the eff away. I swear actually having a winning program has made this board worse.
