LSU 27, North Texas 10: This will not be an easy one. North Texas is a solid team and will give a sloppy LSU team fits early on.

They're being nice. While I agree that with a new system and staff, there will be some missteps for LSU, I think it's a bigger problem that they know exactly what we're gonna do and can gameplan for it, while we know virtually nothing of their new system. Of course, it's not like we'd really gameplan anyway, but that's beside the point.

How could we not know what kind of system they are going to run? Wouldn't Oklahoma State of the past few years be an indication? If it is 27-10, then I will be more than happy.

It would be an indication, but that's all. You'd have to watch the system of one team and the personnel of another. And then you'd have to project what happens when those two teams come together. No coach in their right mind comes into an already good team and totally changes everything they do. Dickey's all but admitted he has no idea what LSU is gonna come out with.

You think it's just a matter of watching OSU's game film from last year and saying "Okay, this is what they're gonna do..."?

LETS BE REALISTIC HERE.....

I would venture to say that there is not one level headed person either associated

with UNT Athletics OR simply as an alum or fan that would not be simply ecstatic

with the following three items:

NO INJURIES.......

The Game Check.......

Final score deficit of under 28 (under 21 will be REAL nice).....

And finally, the line would probably at least be in the thirties, but probably be

listed as N/A because of Hurricance and missed practices........

Dont get me wrong.......I'll lead the way to a victory party @ Texas Roadhouse

or wherever after an upset......But lets be happy with the above mentioned

3 objectives being accomplished......

See yall @ Fouts.... biggrin.gif

Well, if DD went to coach at LSU I think we could predict his base offense and defense. He wouldn't switch to a passing offense no matter who his personnel was. Same with Les Miles. He will run similar plays as OSU ran.

As for the game, I expect both teams to make mistakes on offense and defense. What we need to do is keep from giving up turnovers and the easy points to LSU which will get their confidence going and rile the fans up. I can see a 10-3 game mid-way into the 2nd quarter when one of two things happen: either NT makes a huge gaff and goes into the half down 24-3 or toughs up and keeps it 13-6 at half. The last 8 minutes of the first half will make or break this game.

I think it might be an indicator, but wasnt Gundy (the new coach at OSU) the one who handled the offense and the play calls?

I certainly didn't mean that LSU will be a mirror image of Okie St., but that it should give us an indication as to what their base sets will be. I would be estatic with 24 -10.

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
