If we "improve" at the rate that is consistent up to this point (see last year's close calls) who can we expect to at least hold our own against next year with out of conference play?

Clemson- its probably not gonna happen but already on ESPN in the conversation section of the game...the Clemson fans are talking crap about how disgraceful it is that their team is playing us when they used to open against Texas. Let em have it.

Rice- I would put money on us squashing the crap outta them. There team last year was absolutely smashed across the boards with minor exceptions.

Army- If last year's team comes out...it will be tough in their house but I think we can when by +3

K State- Beaten by ULL and we all remember our nail bitter and should coulda woulda game with them last year. Just saying....depends on how the season turns out we have a realistic chance of beating them with what could be a full Fouts house.

I think Rice and ARMY should be wins assuming that we continue improving the way it feels like we have this spring. In fact my brother is deployed Spec. Ops. in the ARMY and he rarely has a chance to call home but the last time we spoke we made a bet on the ARMY UNT game. Let me put it this way, UNT better win that game.

NT can say the same thing. Look at how many times the football team has opened with the defending National Champion, not some also-ran ACC team.

No way we beat clemson...

no way we beat KSU.

Not going to happen.

But what about Army or Rice.

I say if we beat both of these teams, we should have a winning record in the Belt.

Should we beat Clemson then there better be a -0 in the loss column at the end of year.

Man, I am so very good at predictions...just check my record! laugh.gif But, i do believe Army and Rice are win-able games for the Mean green and I'll place them in the "win" column right now. I am, however, glad that at this time we are considering only the Rice and Army games for predictions.

You people may want to stop putting Rice in the sure win column. If our D had problems with Dunbar this spring, wait until they see what Rice is bringing at RB.

Rice was the youngest team in all of FBS last year. At the end of the year they started to play pretty well. They won 2 out of their last 3 games , 1 being vs UTEP

I say Rice is a must win game for TD. If we start out poorly vs Clemson then lose our home opener to a in state rival that was 2 - 10 last year our fans will be pretty pissed.

It should be a close , high scoring game vs the Owls. If we win it could be the start of something special , but If we get blown out TD has to go before we start conference.

      Go to YOUTUBE and request Army/UNT highlights. They had them a few hours after the game yesterday. I don't know about the entire game.

      ***OFFICIAL ARMY VS MEAN GREEN IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      The stats with context tell us more. I feel like Army kept the defense on the field on purpose to limit a famously high flying North Texas team. I agree we had turnovers- how effective were they? How many 1st downs did army have in a single drive? Army never turned the ball over on downs with high 3rd down efficiency. We lucked out on the fumble from the RB. How long did it take to get the turnover? How was the field position that the defense earned? Those are better questions. Our defense did a lot and I loved seeing the sack, near fumble (ruled an incompletion), interception, and lack of penalties(that pass interference in the red zone hurt) to deflate their passing game- all 4 attempts. Then, they took us on the ground. Daily slid early to drain more time on a run near the 50. They line up with the same formation for an easy read to gain a yard or two, but, more importantly, the clock starts back up. This was triple option football and I feel like we failed to disrupt their plans. I want us to be better on all sides of the ball. I don’t a moral victory. I want us to acknowledge that Army, just like Tulane 2 weeks ago, used the run effectively against the defense. However, they used it to play at their tempo/style limiting our offense time on the field. I love the heart these players showed. I feel like any one of those teams from Army’s past 13 games are not the caliber we should be proud of being better than (except Coastal and Navy). Watching at army launch the ball vs Temple, Tulsa, & UAB was insane. But Daily is a okay QB that fits the triple option scheme as a runner primarily. Horvath is a miracle for service academy passing. Daily has 51 passing attempts YTD versus Horvath’s monstrous 117 attempts for a service academy. Daily has the same interception rate as Henigan. I’ll see y’all in San Antonio. I’m still excited to see this team play and I know we can win out the season. I just feel like they were par for the course this Army weekend. If anyone complained about the DC all season, this game should not sway someone.
