North Texas vs South Alabama Prediction Thread

jtm0097 · August 24

It's that time of the year fellas. College football is starting! My prediction for next week.

Year 2 of the Eric Morris era gets off to a hot start. We show the world he's not a great value version of Seth Littrell. The 3-3-5 now has capable of defenders. We make stops and move the ball.

Sorry, I don’t think fixing this defense is as a simple as plugging in a few new pieces on Week 1

South Alabama will be starting a new QB and not a single QB on their roster has ever been a D1 starter or played any significant snaps. I think the 3-3-5 will have more good moments than bad. Enough so that the performance may be misleading for what's to come the rest of the year. This is about next Saturday though. I'm taking North Texas 28-21.

I think there should be improvement in year 2. I think we have an established QB with experience. I think they don't and a new coach. Did the influx of new players improve the talent level? We'll see. I'm going on a little bit of blind faith here that Morris sees something and the 2nd year of this defensive scheme will be better (it can't be worse)

I'll be disappointed if we lose.

This is a game that Morris has to win if he's going to show that we are making progress. No excuses

We give up a lot of points, but we score more.

We play inspired and win convincingly. USA scores some garbage points with our 2nd team defense on the field. GMG!

Regarding the defense, we seem to have more size than we did last year. If we can stay healthy, we can be dangerous. I don't think it'll be great, but I can see it being middle of the pack

I see an aggressive game plan to make a statement on the road.

Behind at half, NT comes back strong and wins by 10.

I'd say a 3-0 Mean Green win but I have little hope in our defense.

My prediction:

NT - Fun!
SA - Also fun! But maybe a little more fun.

Matt from A700 · August 26

Slow start like we normally do against opponents we are not familiar with. But we manage a tie at halftime and pull away to win.

I think it is a must win game for the program, and I do think UNT wins 35-28

31-20. Good guys prevail.

This is just sad and embarrassing, but this is where we are as a program right now. This is against a football team that played its first game ever in 2009 and transitioned to FBS in 2013. SMH. I don't think the untested South Alabama QB(s) have to do anything other than hand-off. We were gashed on the ground last year. If we can't stop the run, we're doomed. It's hard to win on the road to start the season and I think USA will be hyped up hosting a team from a supposedly stronger conference. As much as it pains me, USA - 38, UNT 21. Prove me wrong Mean Green.
