Week 3 was a tough matchup for the Mean Green, and I think a lot of us came away rather impressed with the effort.

Now, it's time to kick-off conference play, and lucky-for-us, we draw the feel-good-story Blazers of UAB!

After 2 different weeks of extreme challenges for our defense, it will be nice to draw a squad that doesn't have an incredible <fill-in-the-blank player/unit>.  They'll be very well coached, but they'll be overmatched by the Mean Green this week.  There is 2 weeks worth of frustration built up for our guys.  If they can keep that extra motivation under control and stay focused, they should come out and immediately impose their will against UAB.   If they're overly-amped, look for the costly mistakes/penalties to continue to pile up, and the game will be sloppy & closer than it should be.

Offensively, I look for Wilson to get rolling again, and for Mason to continue working on stretching the field with Guyton.  Should be a pretty big day offensively.

Defensively, I expect a shaky UAB OL to have a tough time with UNT's defensive front 7 with all the blitzes/stunts/uncertainty about where pressure is coming from.  Should be a field day for Ejiya again.

Not saying I expect this to be a blowout because UAB will score some... because they'll likely get some 3rd down conversions offensively while we shoot ourselves in the foot on 3rd down offensively.  But it should be apparent throughout the game which team is superior.


UNT: 38
UAB: 24

35-24 mean green, i think attendance jumps up to 20k.

Yep, it's parent's weekend.  Attendance will be better than the 1st game....well, unless it's a sweltering 95F + 85% humidity still....either way, should be better.

UNT - 31

UAB - 20

You think UAB is Hurricane-ravaged-Lamar-level bad?

I think it's cathartic. Give him a minute.

But yeah let's pound em.

We could struggle against a power run game. They have four guys over 100 yards on the season and their QB is one of those. The QB has 422 passing, less than Fine had against SMU. 

I still see this as a win.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.

      UTSA is the only victor today. Not a good round for the American.

      I haven’t bothered looking into it, but I did wonder about a possible personnel change. Maybe Charlotte lost a player right before half or something. Or maybe ETSU gained someone at half after being ineligible in the first.
