Preview: North Texas (2-4) at LSU (5-1)

10:50 PM CDT on Friday, October 28, 2005

By BRETT VITO / Denton Record-Chronicle

7 p.m., Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, La. (KWRD-FM 100.7, KNTU-FM 88.1)

Line: LSU by 44

WHAT'S ON THE LINE

UNT – The Mean Green is looking to prove it has progressed after lopsided nonconference losses to Kansas State, Tulsa and Louisiana Tech.

LSU – The Tigers can extend a four-game winning streak and avoid a letdown after back-to-back wins over Florida and Auburn.

WHO'S HOT

UNT – Senior RB Patrick Cobbs rushed for 108 yards on 15 carries against Louisiana Tech (7.2 yards a carry).

LSU – Junior Chris Jackson kicked a 44-yard field goal to send the Tigers' game against Auburn into overtime and then hit a 30-yarder to win it.

WHO'S NOT

UNT – Freshman quarterback Matt Phillips completed one pass in four attempts and threw two interceptions after coming on in relief of starter Daniel Meager in a loss to Louisiana Tech.

LSU – Colt David missed a 28-yard field goal against Auburn.

STAT THAT TELLS THE STORY

LSU has outscored UNT, 101-7, in the only two games the teams have played.

KEY MATCHUP: UNT RB PATRICK COBBS VS. LSU LB ALI HIGHSMITH

Cobbs had one of his most productive games of the season last week. Highsmith is LSU's leading tackler with 43 stops.

UNT WINS IF: Patrick Cobbs and Jamario Thomas have a huge night, UNT plays a mistake-free game and LSU makes a series of critical errors.

LSU WINS IF: The Tigers avoid a huge letdown after wins over Florida and Auburn.

PREDICTED SCORE

LSU 52, UNT 10
