The Mean Green started the game extremely slow offensively last week, then won the 3rd quarter (as coach Littrell has harped all year) rather handily, and coasted to a big win.

This week, the 8-2 Army Knights come in.  They've been rather dominant on the ground, except when faced with a tough defense like Ohio State and Tulane(?).  They'll move the ball plenty against the Mean Green with all their wacky misdirection.

This game will be critical for the Mean Green to win both the Special Teams battle and the Turnover battle.   Win those two, and the Mean Green win this game going away because there's no way the Army defense is slowing down Fine & Co.

I think the crowd will be huge, and the team will feed off of us to finally put that complete game together on offense, defense & special teams for all 4 quarters.

North Texas: 38
Army: 28

There's a 10-point swing between Vegas lines and Sagarin predictions (We'd be a 7-point dog on the Sagarin ratings). 

So, who shows up on Saturday?  A Dickey team who knows it has the conference division and a bowl game wrapped up, so doesn't care, or a bunch of hungry ne'er-do-wells who want to put a stamp on their legacy with an undefeated home season? 

UNT - 35

Army - 24

A Dickey team is the last team to go undefeated at home.

I did my prognosticating independently before coming to this thread. Reading my way down, a bunch of us are generally of like mind.  I feel in my gut that this is going to be a high-scoring game. Wear your jock strap with a cup, this is gonna get physical! Here is my two cents' worth:

North Texas Mean Green Eagles     45

Army West Point Cadets                   38

O/U is 58

Spread is 2.5

Ill say

Army 27.75

NT 30.25

Living on the edge a bit here I see. 

I like all the positive vibes on the score predictions in here, but I'm just not as sure. I think their O could apply pressure to our offense by forcing our offense to press and play tight due to knowing we may not get as many possessions as we normally do. We seemingly, game to game, need those extra possessions to work the kinks out to get the offense going. We need to come out and play well offensively in the first quarter. I think if we have a 10 point (or more) 1st quarter we may end up winning comfortably. If not, then it's a crap shoot really. 

Nevertheless, give me...UNT - 33 Army - 28

That's why I think if we win the toss, we don't defer. We need to get the offense going early and often.

Army will pop a couple long runs for TD's, but Mason Fine, Jeffery Wilson & the Triplets go bonkers (again) before a humongous & VERY loud crowd at fabulous Apogee Stadium.

Quickness, Athleticism & Coaching Rules the Day!

UNT.......42 

ARMY....24

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      as mentioned in another thread, three pretty easy wins last night (11/19) for Rice, Tulane and Charlotte. Evansville lost 80-30 to Ohio State. UNI won. not all, but the most interesting games coming up: tonight (11/20) - not a ton...Tulsa host UALR (who already blew out UTSA), but if Tulsa is any good should take care of. 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next) ; Oregon State host Oregon ; Houston Christian v. Rice ; ECU v. Jacksonville State (3 day tourney...would play Toledo or Stetson next) 11/22 - Utah State v. Iowa and St. Louis v. Wichita State (same venue, but not a tourney) ; McNeese v. Illinois State and UAB v. Longwood (same side of bracket) ; Temple v. Florida State ; ECU/FAU game 2 of 3 11/23 - Temple v. UMASS 11/24 - High Point v. Missouri State (3 day tourney...would play ODU or Boston College next) there will be more games 11/23 and 11/24 as some of these tournaments shake out, but definitely some interesting games starting tomorrow

      Texas Wesleyan (11/21/24)

      Texas Wesleyan is one of those athlete mill schools that take advantage of kids/parents who really want to be a college athlete. The majority of students at the school are athletes and the teams will take almost anyone to be on the roster as long as they can qualify for an overpriced college loan to afford the tuition.
