It's gonna be a rough game.  They are playing really well this year.  One of the best seasons in years for us but we've still got quite the tough road ahead.  

That said, I didn't expect us to be in the position we're in at all when the season started.  We've beat some solid teams.  Barely, but we found a way.  This UNT team is different.

Well, hopefully we can at least not worry about giving up those big, lucky pass plays like we always seem vulnerable to and focus on the run defense. Although I will not be able to make It, I think this attendance could be larger than homecoming. It's a week after the largest student attendance got to see the Mean Green deliver an ass whipping.

hope the DC has defense ready to hold their lines and not give up big play due to missed assignments. Triple option is tough, but team showed they could stop it last year on the road.

This will be the third time in about a year that we've played them. Hopefully, Reffett has figured out a way to slow them down. We'll just need to out score them.

Should have plenty of game film to review.  We are probably in the best position as anyone to handle Army.  Everyone just needs to do their job.

While they're a strong team, none of their wins scare me. We're at home where we tend to fare better. If they played our schedule I think they'd have the same record, +1/-2 wins.

Once again, we are playing a team that NT can beat if we play our best. But we can also lose and lose by a lot if NT does NOT play their best. 

Frankly, the same is true for Rice and FAU. FAU isn't Alabama. They aren't even Iowa. They can be beat. But if we aren't playing our best, we will lose and lose by a lot.

I think FAU’s offense is light years better than iowa’s. They are an absolute nightmare for us to matchup with...

8-2 with ZERO impressive wins....

its a toss up though. if we can get ahead early and make them play catch up that will be key.

UNT has 1 impressive win vs USM... all the others are been to close to be classified as "impressive"

We just need to stop the run. We have to load up the box and play man to man on the back end. I don't think they have the receivers or the QB to beat us throwing the football. We have to sell out and stop the run. If they beat us, force them to beat us through the air. I don't think their secondary can cover our receivers. If they load up to stop Wilson, we will torch them with the pass.

      Good post! I agree with everything you said.

      True. It doesn’t matter to anyone outside that school. But did you see NIU storm the field to celebrate the 4th down crushing sack of the Fresno quarterback to end the game? Followed by the lifting of the potato mascot into the air? Loved it for those dudes. Hard work paid off with a dramatic win. After learning our bowl destination my Dallas SEC diehards said they wanted to go to the game. So we’ll have the pre fun and post fun time on the 3rd. They attended the Boise Bowl and Cal game too. They are college football 🏈 LSU season ticket holder junkies who look forward to a fun day. I’m in the minority in this thread but I’m glad we play bowl games. I don’t need to see NIU or Fresno again this season but I’m glad it happened. Beat Texas State! GMG

      This is what the NCAA was trying to stop. But the hypocrisy and greed of everyone else in the sport getting paid a “market rate” while walk-ons got nothing and scholarship athletes were eating ramen noodles in the offseason broke that model. The ONLY rational way forward to get sanity and fairness back with a large healthy FBS would about 80-100 teams coming together and becoming an actual league. No less than 50% of all revenue (not including home ticket sales and merchandise sold on campus) would be shared equally. Lots of other things would have to be done but most of them include cushy fat cat positions going away, and others taking 50% pay cuts. The athletic departments would have to surrender a lot of power to the new league/NCAA along with the revenue sharing. We all know that isn’t happening. And we are on a slow road to College Football regular season ratings going down and playoff ratings going up while it is new. Then after the newness wears off we will have FBS looking more like College Basketball. Dramatically less interest in regular season football with few being familiar with great players outside of Heisman contenders (and/or projected 1st round Quarterbacks).

      Maybe I need to read the article again... Is that saying with revenue sharing coming online there will be a limit to what NIL Collectives can pay? That article seems to suggest that the big money will level out. How is that?

      That’s the point for sure. Winning a spare bowl against another G5 means nothing to anyone beyond the diehards of the winning program.
