Rice Comes To Denton

Rice Comes to Denton

North Texas will open at home against Rice Saturday. This will be the last home opener at Fouts Field. At the end of the season, we could potentially be looking back at this game to be the most pivotal.

North Texas needs to win this game.

UNT gained confidence with their performance in front of 75,000 fans in Death Valley. They need to build on that to beat Rice so they can travel to West Point with a 1-1 record to face Army. A potential win against Army and the Mean Green are going into Sun Belt play with a winning record.

UNT and Rice recruit the same players. Let’s face it, UNT and Rice are fighting to stay out of the bottom rung of the Texas college football teams. If UNT avenges its loss to Rice from a year ago, and since they are about to move into new football facilities, this scenario could possibly sway some recruits to Denton over Rice.

North Texas can win if they erase some of the mental mistakes that cost them momentum building drives. The defensive will not be facing the caliber players in Rice that they faced last week. That should amount to not giving up the big play. Tune, Dunbar, and company should see more time in the end zone this weekend. They have the talent. They will have the crowd. They should have the victory.

I suppose when a coach needs to win 6 or 7 games to keep a job, that most every game we play this year will be pivotal? I hope his first of 7 starts with the Rice game starting at 6:00 PM!

GMG!
