I actually expect our defense to put up a better fight than they did against Memphis and Tulane. Army is much more one dimensional, and have less speed and size. Not saying we shut them down, but I think we can hold them to around 30. 

Prediction: 

North Texas- 34

Army- 31

Since the current coaching regime has been in place (start of last season) North Texas is 0-8 against FBS opponents that finished the regular season .500 or better last season or currently are .500 or better.  The average score has been 48-30.  If I were to calculate the average deficit at the end of the first half in such games, my head would explode.  Suffice it to say, there just is no evidence to suggest we have a chance to win.  

Army - as many points as they need to score to win comfortably and feel good about themselves

NT - around 30

If the starting QB for Army plays then I predict that this will be another 2007 UNT vs Navy game.

If the Army defense has pretty average pass coverage, then I lean toward us for a win. If they are as good in pass coverage as they are in run coverage, then.....who knows.

Predict if Team did not work on tackling during the bye week, then Army may run roughshod over the team. Starting QB or Back-up will not matter

What’s the most points we’ve given up this year? 66 to Tech? 52 to Memphis? Don’t remember if any of those were defensive TDs….

Army has gone over 40 five times this year. Hit 49 once. 

we have to have the worst D they’ve face right? 

How are they going to score less than 50 on us? Why wouldn’t they hit 60?

We have to score on every single possession to have a chance to win this game. (Like Navy in the Dodge years) If we punt once or have 1 turnover we lose. 

I would say a final score of Army 66 - UNT 45 is probably what we’re looking at….

We hold Army to less than 50 points and the more optimistic of us feel pretty good about it afterwards. We hold them to field goals when they need touchdowns and even get a few key 3rd and 4th down stops. Morris has a great game, lots of receivers catch balls and score points, our running backs surprise us, and Coach goes for the points when last week he would’ve taken the risk on 4th down. Nguma has his best game yet.
 

NT- 61

Army- 46

Army’s MVP appears to be whoever put together their schedule.  But you play who you play and they keep winning.  This will be a race to see who gets to 50 first.  I’ll take the UNT offense to pull down a W in a barn-burner game.

Army is incredibly overrated. North Texas is the first FBS team they will face with a winning record. That being said, our defense is going to make them look good

Army will have over 500 yards of offense by the end of the third quarter. After watching us against any team with a pulse on offense this year, it's probably not going to be a fun game for the home team.

Yeah, we're #121, but it's not like they've been facing lots of top 50 defenses:
ECU  #94
UAB  #91
Tulsa  #123
FAU   #107
Rice  #23
Temple #93
AFA #68

The worst thing is that I just don't think we can stop them.  Many times in the recent games, our D has gotten a 3-and-out, but a lot of those were due to questionable calls by the other offense or bad/dropped passes on 3rd and 6.  If they hand the ball to someone and drag us for 8 yds every play or run for 35 on a sweep, there's not much chance of them shooting themselves in the foot.  I don't see us stripping 3 fumbles from their RBs.

Army has one turnover all season. We average more than that per game.

I expect to see something different from the Defense......like maybe Tackle?

Me too. I think they have been hiding it all seaon and breaking it out for the Army game.

if the backup plays, i think we have a pretty good chance of winning... if Daly plays, i give us about a 1 in 3 chance of winning.

I just can't see our defense having their best game ever against a ranked opponent whose strength on offense lines up perfectly with our weakness on defense. I'd guess we punt 4 times and they punt once and we lose 63-42.  Should still be an exciting game like 2007 vs Navy.

I don't see Eric Morris punting 4 times in one game.  More like, we go for it on 4th down 4 times on our own side of the field.

I feel like we are due for an unexpected win. I also think Army is a bit over rated. 

ESPN line is down to Army -3. 

I wonder if this is based on any knowledge of their QB1 being out for the game?

      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?
