Score Predictions

[emmitt01]

I'm going to say the score goes like this:

Home opener +7

Rookie QB -3

J-Mo and Cobbs +7

Rookie D-line -10

Dickey Ball +/- 7

Improvement from game 1 to game 2 +7

Tulsa hangs with OU for 3 quarters -7

We're 1-0 for the first time A.D. +4

So, by my math, we either win by 12 or 5. I'll pick the 5 and say it's 32-27

I don't know if I could make an honest objective prediction. Our Mean Green certainly didn't resemble the conference Mean Green of last year, and Tulsa gets blown out by Minnesota before being within 2 points of OU with 4 minutes left. Its hard to say but I'm gonna have faith and say UNT 24, TU 16

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

---It will be close..... I think the deciding faactor will be can we contain their passing game. They appear to be better than I expected.

---Our Offensive line need to open some holes.... The O-line is hard to evaluate yet because MTSU had a excellent defensive front (Littlejohn was a monster) and we did not do all all that great the first half opening holes...

SMU/TCU.... How did that happen????? SMU loses to Baylor while TCU looks great agains OU and then the next week TCU loses to SMU...... Proof that upsets do happen and the best team doesn't always win.

Big day for PC and JT, Meager throws first career TD but also and INT.

We have a tough time stopping their stud TE Mills, but in the 2nd half we finally realize they have nothing else. So we stick one of our faster LBs on him for the rest of the game and we pull away from there.

Love the Dickey Ball coefficient and the reasoning.

The X-factor will be me and my friends yelling our lungs out. NT by 10.

[bigrobdsp]

sticking with my lower scoring predictions I will say....

UNT 13

Tulsa 10

[CMJ]

North Texas - 19

Tulsa - 16

[GreenN'walinsVet]

If we can establish the run

NT 24

TU 21

If we cant

NT 10

TU 27

[Green Lantern]

North Texas- 21

Tulsa- 13

[untStein]

Like most games, this one will come down to a few key stops. The big matchups are their passing game vs our pass defense and our rushing game vs their rush defense. Seeing the play of Covington and Weathers gives me a little more confidence but not a ton. Since I'm also a homer, I'll say NT 24- TU 17

PEOPLE PEOPLE. I'm from Oklahoma and you are looking at a TU team that got beat by an OU team that got beat by TCU who was throttled by SMU (the score didn't do it justice). Anyone remember the Baylor game 2 years ago. The predictions and comments were about the same and I don't remember the score but I do remember that is one of the worse beatings I've seen a football team take. We kicked a lung out of Baylor that day (also probably the best I've seen Booger play). So remember this, WE ARE FROM NORTH TEXAS. WE HAVE WON OUR CONFERENCE THE LAST FIVE YEARS. WE WILL MAKE IT SIX. WE DON'T GIVE A FLYING CRAP WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK. AND ABOVE ALL, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE A LITTLE COCKY. So all you predicting a close game, stand up at your work and read the last six sentences out loud over and over UNTIL YOU BELEIVE IT. LOUD AND PROUD. And on a side note, those pricks from Tulsa make SMU and Baylor look like a bunch of beer guzzling rednecks. NORTH TEXAS, LOUD AND PROUD AND FOR GOOD REASON.

I hope Boomer is warmed up, cause it's going to get a lot of use.

Myth! Ever play any softball or watch a baseball game? I don't know how that saying ever came to be because it simply isn't true.

Anyway...

NT 24

Tulsa 14

[ipEAGLE]

31-28 UNT.... I have a feeling this will be a pretty high scoring game.

This is like... EXACTLY what I think.

[EagleMBA]

I expected more offense last week but I was dead on that the defense would come up big. Still, I missed our margin of victory on the high side. With a week's experience, and having seen Tulsa in action against Oklahoma, I will not be so cavalier in my prediction this week.

The D tightens up on the run but their receiver Mills still gives us fits because we don't get enough pressure on Smith. We still give up a LOT of yards this week.

The O starts to run a little smoother and Meager's playbook gets a couple more pages this week. RF and DD conduct a refresher course for Meager, Thomas, and assorted newbies and we get to see more of Pat and Jamario in the same backfield, with good results. The Mighty Quinn quits puking and gets his strength back in time to make five big plays.

All of this translates to the following prediction:

UNT - 31

Tulsa - 21

This is like... EXACTLY what I think.

[GrandGreen]

IMO, Tulsa is not very good. The question is how good is the Green.

Mean Green 45 Tulsa 17

[NM Green]

I am feeling okay about this game. I am not sure what I was smoking thinking we would score 30 plus in game one. So I will load up again and say:

Tulsa 21

North Texas 40

GMG

I know it's a different feeling to be 1-0, and I know we're excited about the offensive weapons we have w/ a game under their belt, but..... this is a non-conference game. We all should know what that means by now... so, with a heavy heart, until i see differently, i have to say...

Tulsa 34

NT 9

Now, that being said, I hope like hell the culture changes this weekend and I'm terribly wrong...
