There were things I hoped to see this past off-season, like a new DC, a heavy influx of defensive talent, and a defensive scheme that fits our personal. We didn't get most of that.

6-7

Sounds like you're predicting a pretty strong defensive performance in this game.

I hope this is not another FIU-like road game.   QB Morris must stay healthy for the Offense.  The Defense is still an experiment in progress.   Too many "ifs" at this point of the season until we see real performance.  

I predict a slow sluggish start and a $mut comeback to win...   NT 37-34.

North Texas - 24

South Alabama - 35

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

And if you look at our defense, most are returners. Hard to believe we will roll out the same three starting LBs. 
I think your prediction is probably about right.

South Alabama -5.5 (-110) vs. North Texas

My number is 7.5 here. Factor in North Texas losing one of the best defensive players in fall camp to a season-ending knee injury, and we have a play on the Jaguars. Sure, South Alabama is breaking in new head coaches, so maybe we see something out of left field because that’s how college football is in 2024 when it comes to offseason turnover. But South Alabama promoted their offensive coordinator, Major Applewhite, and that gives me a little sense of continuity.

Worst line to bet: South Alabama -6.5 (-110)

Never forget just how terrible NT was against two bad teams to start last season.  We looked like a mediocre FCS team until Week 3.

South Alabama 52

North Texas 23

I agree, we looked terrible to start last season. But, I think Morris has too much pride to field another team that will start that bad again. And, USA is breaking in a new coach.

SA 26

NT17

I can’t imagine our defense only allowing 26 or the offense being held to 17. First game, so I guess the offense could sputter but little chance the D is that stingy.

42-24, USA. 

I don’t think it’ll be that close and I’ll be mad that I paid ESPN+ again for the privilege of seeing it. 
 

Here’s to hopefully being pleasantly surprised! Cheers! 🍻

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

I wasn’t counting on the “blocked” punt TD.😁

Well both predictions here were correct but I would have expected the score to be reversed. Glad I was wrong and wr won, but man that defense still sucks.

It was sort of a sluggish start (first half), much better in second half and a comeback win!  We outscored my prediction.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
