Army kickoff scheduled for 2:30pm on ESPN2, UTSA game moved up to 7pm

[Matt from A700]

This will be three straight games on ESPN2 and five straight on linear television. Let's go and take advantage.

I believe attendance will be greater for the Army game already across the board: alumni, students, opposing fans. I know we're pissed about the Tulane game but we've got an extra week to get the sour taste out.

Going 2-2 on this Memphis/Tulane/Army/UTSA stretch would still be a lot better than last year's 0for on the Tulane/Memphis/UTSA/SMU gauntlet.

I'll  wear my Army bling... maybe that will get NT over the hump.

Heard this weekend that the tickets already sold for Army are the best pre-sell of the season.

Third time's a charm? 

Our only saving grace is that we're coming off of a bye week and have two full weeks to prepare for their offense. I'm hoping we can somehow scheme and have the defensive game of our lives. With that said, I'll believe it when I see it.

I do expect a good crowd as well. Ranked opponent coming to town. National TV. And Army travels well.

I remember the night game we had at Apogee when Fine was still here and we kicked a field goal with a few seconds left to win I believe 51- 49.  I had my seat in section 208 row 2  and a number of Army fans around me were laughing because we were in our end of the field with about a minute tolay and I told them don't be too overconfident that we already beat UTSA like that and they said no way we would drive the field on them. After we scored and won as they were leaving I just looked and shook my head and one of them said. "Well you were correct". Let's do it again. One of these games we will come back at the end to score and win. I feel ESPN knows that also and we're banking on being here when we do. Go Green, beat Army.

Sadly, they are the worst possible matchup for our defense.  They are a physical running team.  We have shown absolutely nothing to indicate that we will stop them.  They will look at the Navy tape from last year and be prepared for us.

I'm afraid they will score 50 and we will have to be perfect on offense to keep pace. We won't be perfect.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm probably not.

50 is probably a low bar. This army team is going to destroy our defense

Yup

I just want to say that this linear TV exposure provides a huge foundation for us to build on. We need to win these games to make the most of the opportunities.

absolutely

UTSA will probably be 3-6 & the game is on Friday night. High school playoffs will have started by then. Look for a dismal crowd in SA.

I think the UTSA game is going to be a good test of how watchable are we. We have a hour before any other game (excluding Wyoming) starts. Locally, we just have to compete with the Spurs on ESPN and OTA. If no one tunes in when there is nothing on but a NBA pregame show or a high school game, I’m going to be so disappointed.

I was at the UNT- Navy game under the Dodge years.  Packed out Fouts Field, Navy jet fly over, no defense until Navy got some stops in the second half.  This game could be very similar.
