Prediction vs Army

[UNTcrazy727]

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

I really think we can beat Army if their starting QB doesn't play.If he does itmight be a different story. No rain would help us as well.

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

Ah, I meant to add "FBS" into that statement and forgot.  It's updated now.

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….

The losses show we are/were a rebuilding team.  The only blowouts were against P4 Cal and TTech.  The offense has improved this season.  We were within one score last year and this year to both Memphis and Tulane.   Our losses this season are mainly due to our continued poor defense.

Time for the Defense to hit the books

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
