UTSA game implications

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

Yes both NT and UTSA need to win their next games before the 22nd, but looking at the standings, this could be the most meaningful game in the series since 2013. The winner, barring some disastrous collapse (which is something NT would do) would most likely host the championship game. 
 

NT and UTSA should be 3-0 in conference going into it, it should be huge. Hopefully NT shows up.

And if this post jinx’s everything, I’m sorry in advance.

Actually, i'm a little out of the loop and don't know where to look, what is the structure of the conference this year? is there a conference championship game? I believe there aren't any divisions this year, right?

Good point. No divisions. 
 

Are they doing the latest big12 model. Top 2 teams play?

That was what I read someplace, but I don't remember where.

The Western Kentucky vs USTA game has implications this weekend.  Winner will be tied with UNT in first place.  Rice can’t catch up with us this weekend because they also have a bye.  WKU/UTSA kicks at 5pm on Saturday on ESPN+.  UTSA is currently a 6.5 point favorite.

I’m as big a homer as anyone & many posts I’m looking thru the green-tinted glasses, but watching UTSA in 3 of their 2022  televised games I don’t see our game with them being close at all in the Alamodome. (I hope the 450 member Green Brigade shows for this game),
We have talent on our team, but their starters have more game experience & their QB is a game-changer & seems a man with a mission.

Highly unlikely we are a top two team in the conference.

Unless our secondary continues to improve, Harris is gonna to shred us. He's having an incredibly good year

Well we know we can't count on of 12th player -- the weather, so we are very thin on winning option in SA I fear 😞.  

Bonus - they have to want to score 100 on us after last years debacle. just saying

More so, I think our pressure on the QB has to improve.  He tends to make mistakes when pressured.  If he has time to sit in the pocket,  well, I don't even want to think about that.

I think it is wishful thinking to say that Frank Harris will remain unbroken the remainder of the season.  This guy gets hurt when he gets out of bed.  Not wishing injury on him but I'd be shocked if he is still healthy for the remainder of the season.

Seems like Harris has been the starting QB for NUTSAK going on 7 years.

To avoid confusion I’ll edit my question.
 

Kickoff at UTSA is at 2:30 October 22.

No.  Right date, wrong time.  Kickoff will be at 2:30pm.  

Shameless plug:

It’s going to be very tough to beat them with our defense. Luckily, UTSA’s defense isn’t very good either so we should put up plenty of points. I just don’t think we’ll be able to put up the 40 that will be needed.

This. Our secondary has been bad but honestly the times we seem to get to the QB is when it’s a coverage sack. Very little quick pressure, which is understandable given how often we only rush three or maybe four.
