UTSA v. UNT

UNT @ FAU

ODU v. UNT

UNT @ La Tech

UTEP v. UNT

Army v. UNT

UNT @ Rice

 

7-5

[EagleMBA]

I will stick with my 7 - 5 prediction...but this ride is starting to get a little rough!

[MGNation92]

I think 7-5 is our absolute ceiling. I put 6-6 though as it seems more realistic.

Losses to SMU, Iowa, UTSA, LaTech, Army, Southern Miss

[MeanGreenTexan]

I'll stick with 7-5 as I see signs of life from this team, just some things to clean up and some early challenges (Sutton, Iowa gigantic OL) they could not overcome that they wont see again this year.   Will be nice to see the offense continue to get better through the season, and looking forward to English's return.

[drex]

I'm worried about injuries.

[untjim1995]

6-6 Is still very reasonable and realistic...

[golfingomez]

somewhere between 1-11  and 10-2

[NorthTexan95]

I'm worried.  I see things offensively and defensively that are encouraging but there's a lot that's not.  I'm worried that this team will keep making just enough mistakes to lose games.  I'm worried that injuries will start eating away our depth.  I'm worried that our team may just not be mature enough to win consistently.

This is a big game as dropping to 1-4 would almost end any real shot at 6-6 (which is what I voted).  

 

[GrandGreen]

I am staying with 7-5, see no reason to change.  This can be a solid team if they can just eliminate the foolish penalties and shore up punting and return game.  If anything this team has demonstrated more talent than I thought they had.  

[UNTLifer]

8-4.  

[Green P1]

5-7

[FirefightnRick]

I feel concern for our QB's health.

Best answer I can give -- I feel like a North Texas fan. 

[Wag Tag]

This is definitely a better team at this point than last year. Put English in the mix and we could have a very strong D! The O line pass protection against Iowa is very encouraging! Fine is slinging it! 8-4

[Ben Gooding]

We can go 5-4 in the remaining games. We can, doesn't mean we will. 

If we lose Saturday, the boat is officially taking on water. Saturday is a no excuse better win kind of Saturday.

We have depth there. However, in light of the depth, your concern is valid in that leaving Fine in the whole game regardless of the score is dangerous to Fine's physical well being.

[RealMeanGreenMatt]

All depends on if this team finds discipline and gets MUCH better on 3rd down.

Averaging 8 penalties for 72 yards and converting 28% of 3rd downs through the first three games.

Apparently we don't.  Oh, your talking QB?

I put 9-3 as I believe we have played our toughest games this season.  I think we drop one more.  Biggest concern is losing to uab- can't happen or season attendance will be a disaster. Nervous. Beat the blazers.

I feel a lot better going into this conference season than I did last year. That said, our team simply can't afford to overlook anyone on the schedule including UAB. I know we have the talent to beat them, but will we? From UAB standpoint, THEY want this game badly. We really need to get them down quickly and keep them there. I honestly don't see any team left on the schedule that we simply can't beat, but several will require us to play very, very, VERY well. We can't afford terrible special teams play against La Tech. We can't have continuous stupid penalties against Southern Miss. We must have better 3rd down production on both sides of the ball against UTSA.

While we can beat any team left on the schedule, we can also lose to any team left if we don't play our best.
