Coming to the game here the Mean Green and Miners have both had some good offensive runs on the year. The problem for the Miners is they have dropped 3 games in a row on the year so far. The Mean Green have lost 2 games in a row and while they did lose they were unable to really keep the game that close. Look for the Miners to be able to break their losing streak in this game. Final Score Prediction, UTEP Miners win 34-21.

What I would like to see:

1.  The offense to get creative and to play with confidence.

2.  Bean to spread the ball around.

3. A set with Bean at QB with Torrey and Adaway lined up to each side of him.  Run the option and disguise which direction the play is going.

4.  Disciplined, aggressive defense.

5.  Try a four man front with Novil and LeBlanc at DT with the Murphy twins at DE.  Blitz, stunt and twist UTEP to death while our corners play press coverage.

6.  We have nothing to lose, play like it.

Surely we haven’t fallen so far that we can’t beat UTEP at home...I mean, we got mud holed by UTSA down there, but we have beaten Rice here already. If we fall behind both UT-satellite schools, I fear for what the next year will look like.

If SL continues the same play calling and our defense continues to play a 3 man front it won't be good. UTEP was playing decent at the beginning of the year so if they can over come COVID personnel losses and they have practiced when they said they weren't...hey you never know.

But I'm a homer so NT pulls out a 1-3 point moral victory.

UTEP has lost some great players in the secondary, and they are overall bad on defense. We need to get going fast and don’t give up.

UTEP has 1 main guy on offense IMO, and it’s Deion Hankins the Freshman RB. Dudes like a bowling ball, so I hope our front 6 is ready!

So, let me get this straight...we are paying UTEP to come to Denton to beat us.  Sounds about right for 2020.

UTEP has had RB's that have done well against us in the past. Hankins worries me as we have been making RB's look like "All-Americans" this year. 

We are 15-8-3 all time against UTEP. Average score has been 23.9 to 17.1 for a difference of 6.8  ....

Hell, in 2020 does any of this matter ...

I have an ugly feeling about this game.  I think UNT is prime for another low point in our history.  This, being the close of a disappointing season and tons of uncertainty about SL, is prime for another stake-in-heart kind of loss.

If Jalen Darden doesn’t get 20 targets Seth has to go.

The problem is our QB's are so bad that Darden is often the only target. Seth has called more than plenty of one receiver routes for Bean/Aune.

We have teams on opposite sides of the equation here with little to hang their hat on coming into the contest. North Texas has a great offense but their defense is a train wreck. The Mean Green is fourth-worst in the nation in scoring defense and gives up 511 yards per game in total offense this season. UTEP has had problems on the offensive side of the ball this season but they are a middle of the road defense. Given how poor North Texas is at actually stopping anyone on the defensive side of the ball, you have to be concerned about their chances of doing that here. Take the Miners as the “home” team with the points in this contest.

 

Prediction: UTEP Miners +10

NT takes out some frustrations on UTEP.   Wins 52-24

Bean runs for 100 yds and passes for 200 yds

Darden add 2 more tds and over 100 yds receiving

Torrey, Adaway both have over 70 yds rushing

On the other hand, losing to UTEP would made this season a much greater disaster

UTEP now has all 4 of their starting DB's out and in the transfer portal. Plus, UTEP will not finish this season with a winning record, so that also works in our favor. Not saying we will blow them out, but we should be able to pull out a win at Apogee on Friday.

      Unfortunately I feel like many folks might rather watch the Notre Dame/Indiana playoff game on Friday.

      We've shown over the last handful of seasons that we have one of the most suffocating defenses in the country. I still think the defining game of this era was the NIT semi against Wisconsin when we held them scoreless the last nine minutes of regulation.

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
