UNT vs. Tulane (10/21/23 Score Predictions)

[herewego]

Defense takes a step back from last week but does force a turnover. Offense gets in a rhythm early. Close game.

UNT- 41

Tulane- 37

I don’t know what happened to my post.  Tulane’s defensive front is massive and will wreak havoc in the MeanGreen backfield all day.  They will run the ball down our throats, and Pratt will complete something like 13 of 16 passes for 225 yards and 3 TDS.

If we were playing Tulane from early season, I think we may have a fighting chance. However Tulane has drastically improved so it's difficult seeing an upset here.

UNT 20

Similar vibe to the Cal game

Key to win is definitely through the air. Tulane has allowed more passing yards than us (wild to look at on paper)

This is because they are very good against the run and force teams to throw.  Keys to the game are:

- Whether or not we can establish a running game

- Rogers making great decisions (Limit sacks and INTs)

- Countering whatever Tulane adjusts at halftime

As someone else already said, Tulane has been able to clamp down and shut down teams in the second half not named Ole Miss.  I don't expect much from our defense, so they don't make the list.  They have to have a pulse, though.  Can't allow 250+ rushing yards and expect this game to be close.

We have got to run the 4-4-4

While it is true that they give up 45 yards per game more through the air, we give up 180 yards per game more on the ground. Why would anyone pass on us needlessly? They aren’t a bad pass defense, we just have such a bad rush defense that most teams don’t bother passing on us.

Tulane played their best game their first game of the season.  Pratt got hurt at the end, missed the Ole Miss game when they blew a lead and should have put the game on ice before halftime but the 2nd string QB missed plays.  The Green Wave hasn't played nearly as well since, and in every game has had extended periods of lethargic play.  But I think they put it together with a solid running game and a lot of emotion from a sold out stadium.  If Tulane plays it's best, it won't be much of a game.  If they play like they've played the last 4 weeks, it will be close well into the 2nd half and UNT will cover.

We're getting better, but it won't be enough for this week.

41-27, Green Wave victory.

[Cooke County Kid]

Defense has to improve for this not to be a blowout, if it does it could be an entertaining game. One team wearing green will win.

I want to be optimistic after last week, and hope our coaching staff is getting things figured out, but I don't think we are quite there yet. 

 

 

I hope I'm wrong and we are able to win this one. 

[southsideguy]

I was thinking about the temple game and their second string qb.  The guy was not a passer at all.  I was thinking we might see the third string qb.  I guess that guy cant run or pass.

Looking at the results so far....geez, Navy and FIU were so winnable. This should be 5-1 vs 5-1. Probably be a little hype around it. 

But I don't see us +20 like the spread shows. Tulane hasn't blown anyone out except for Nichols. I'm not saying we'll win but we have a chance if we put it all together. Need a couple of breaks and we need last week's first half Chandler Rogers for 2 halves this week.

I can see something along the lines of:

Tulane 45 UNT 34

I think we beat the spread

[untphd]

This game will depend on turnovers. Win that battle and win the war.

I agree, but was  thinking more along the line of 35-24.  While I obviously won’t be happy with a loss, I’m just hoping for a competitive game.  One of my biggest complaints about SL was that we often seemed to get wiped out in a game like this.

[Coffee and TV]

Gonna go with 41-24 for the wrong green team. Tulane is probably the best team in the conference this season.
