Only thing that worries me is the qb.  Our secondary is a concern.

I hope the chance for rain does not keep people away.  The team deserves support.  The team could have folded with the OCC play but kept moving forward.  Lets hope the fans do as well.

45-17 Green!

FIU doesn't have the firepower to expose our defense and they don't have the size up front to stop our running game. I'm looking forward to another blowout win.

Mean Green-44

FIU-16

Three drops of rain and Apogee is a ghost town.

UNT 48 - FIU 27. Mean green extend the over 40 win streak.

FIU was just pitiful until the UTSA game.    I thought this was the one sure blowout on our schedule.

But, you can't discount them crushing Charlotte and then eeking out a win against La Tech the last 2 weeks.  They are playing with more confidence.

I expect an NT win.   But, a 21 point spread sounds much too high for me.

21 is a lot of points

 

[GreenFlag]

I'm taking the under. I think we can run on them therefore reducing possessions and shortening the game. We'll get our share of points, but I don't think they will.

[untjim1995]

We win this one very easily--48-20, Mean Green

The SL Extension gets closer to a reality.

[Coffee and TV]

Not sure how to feel about this game because I don't know what FIU team is gonna show up. 

[southsideguy]

You do have to worry that it might be let down game after the big win at WKU.  They also maybe looking forward to the UAB game.  This could be a trap game.

NT wins big, by 30 points.

This. I bet WKU felt the same way about us before our game in Bowling Green.

Maybe the football team should take notes from Grant. The basketball team has great experience in forum-declared trap games.

[El Paso Eagle]

If we play like we did at WKU this could be a 30+ win.

Would like to see us play the same and get as many backup in in the fourth as possible. Focus on the run game and short quick routes - we will need them when we go back to San Antonio

[RiseUNT]

Lol this board loves to claim everything a trap game. 

[Glory to the Green]

UNT-52

FIU-7

We’re no longer the team that laid an egg in Vegas.  I don’t think this team loses another game this season.  Beat FIU!  GMG! 

 

[2020 Sucks]

UNT wins, but doesn’t cover -21.  
44-24 Green!

[UNT Family Man]

35-24 good guys

[wardly]

FYI, UNT is averaging 35.6 points per game, defense allowing 32.1 points per game. Granted we should gain separation of those statistics this weekend but 3 points difference doesn't leave much room for error.
