Tulsa Score Prediction Thread

MeanGreenTexan · September 28, 2011

Tulsa is hard to gauge. So is UNT.

Tulsa is missing a few key cogs. UNT seems to be pretty close to full strength (outside of Phillips).

Tulsa coming off a 10 win season, and, well, we all know where UNT finished last season... But, both teams are breaking in new coaching staffs.

I think the game will be fairly close... I just don't see UNT leaving with the W this time.

North Texas: 24

Tulsa: 31

It worked once and will work again!

North Texas 24

Tulsa 21

By the way, how did a team in land-locked Oklahoma come up with the name Hurricanes??

soo... I think I am over the kool-aid binge I've been on for the past couple of days...

I was very impressed with Stock replacing Phillips in the Indiana game...

Tulsa is a solid football team. They can score. Their d may be suspect though...although they are getting some reinforcements back.

Tulsa: 38

UNT: 30

I think we give them a game, but I think the golden Hurricane has too much at home for us.

Lance gets 120 on the ground though.

It's Hurricane. Miami are the Hurricanes.

We got it in the 20's IIRC (without looking it up) due to blowing through defenses so the coach wanted a name to reflect that but Georgia Tech had Tornadoes at the time so they went with Hurricane.

I really can't predict this one, too many unknowns. But I'll take a shot and say TU 27, NT 24.

One thing I do know is NT will improve again and I think we will see fewer turnovers.

North Texas: 34ish

Tulsa: 21ish

UNT90 · September 28, 2011

I don't think we get there this week.

If we do, this thing could turn around much quicker than many anticipated.

greenminer · September 28, 2011

I wonder what they were before Golden Hurricanes.

I'll look it up later.

golfingomez · September 28, 2011

Tulsa 29

UNT 17

NCMeanGreen · September 28, 2011

We use the momentum gained from the IU victory to make this one a good game. But, unfortunately, we still have a long way to go.

UNT - 17

TU - 31

foutsrouts · September 28, 2011

Our D shows that it has turned the corner and forces 3 turnovers. DT shows that he is now comfortable running this offense while LD comes up with 300 all purpose yards.

NT 38

Aslut 17

Ironically,

The Golden Hornets and Georgia Tech is now the Yellow Jackets.

I have to wonder if the AD's or coaches were good friends or family members with the name similiarities throughout the years.

Well its the Golden Hurricanes, so maybe the names inventor got the idea from peeing into a fan or out of the back of a moving truck.

glick1980 · September 28, 2011

Gonna take a heck of an effort and at least some type of score from special teams or the defense, but I am going with UNT - 31 Tulsa - 27

Based on the first three quarters of the IU game...

UNT - 34

Tulsa - 28

Unless the fourth quarter syndrome hits us, then...

UNT - 27

I'm not trying to bring anyone down, but I'm sure you guys remember 54-2. Granted, that was 6 years ago, but I do not see how we(coming of a win) go up to Tulsa(coming off a loss) and take this game from them. The Indy game was great, but they are at best a mid to low level MAC team. We will not win this ball game.
