1st Big Play

[UNT 04]

Assuming Tigers open their 1st drive with a few running play then try to go deep on play action will our secondary break up the pass, get an interception, get to the QB or will they take it to the house?

My guess would be play action deep ball on first or second play from scrimmage. Try to punch us in the mouth right away.

I agree 100% with 90 on this.

Pick 6. Zac Whitfield shuts up his doubters--and 90,00 plus in Death Valley.

Zach Orr blitzes, picks the quarterback up and throws him over his shoulder, then runs to the goal line and spikes the quarterback in the endzone for a touchdown. Immediately thereafter, one Elizabeth Neptune tweets that this should be her husband's touchdown.

Whenever they try it, I hope we break it up. Really need things to go well early on.

The "big name" opponent always does a play action pass against us first play. It's as if we spot them 6 points immediately. Count on it. Or better yet, silence those striped cat fans with a pick 6. Let them spot us 6 points right off the bat.

GO MEAN GREEN

No really

GOOOOOOOOOOOO MEAN GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

Hate to be a downer here... but the first 'big play' for North Texas will probably happen in the 4th quarter when LSU's starters are out...unless you count a QB sack as a big play, in that case, we'll have one of those before the end of the 1st half.

Thompson to Chancellor over the middle, and Brelan makes some nifty moves for a sizable gain (~50 yds)/touchdown.

I think there are a few different takes here on what the OP meant . . . my understanding is that he is asking, "What will happen when LSU goes for its first big pass play?"

Oh. In that case, incomplete pass.

[UNT90]

First long pass by LSU is a big play, either way it turns out. Big confidence builder if incomplete, confidence killer if complete.

Another big play is the coin flip. Coach Mac made cryptic comments which leads me to fear special teams play. Any return by LSU < 30 yard line is good fir UNT. Personally, I really hope we won the coin toss.

LSU's QB might still need to shake off some rust from the offseason. I predict a pass overthrown by about 15 yards. The Pass Interference call that will naturally follow will give them a new set of downs.

I hate everything about this game but I am 100% behind this team.

1st big play will be LSU blocking our FG attempt

Hmmm, I hate when that gets done to us. A recurring nightmare from the Army game at Fouts. We coulda shoulda woulda just gone for it at the time.

[eulessismore]

But our first big play? I advocate flea flicker.

I still remember when at Alabama 6-7 years ago we took our first posession all the way down the field and went wide left on the FG attempt....I caught the ball...

The blocked extra point against UL-Laffyette in a 28-27 loss still haunts me.

I hope you still have it!

Coach Mac calls a timeout, 1st play of the game.

Ah yes. Good to see that my prognostication skills are still sharp.

Maybe. I'd call the Hilbert Jackson hit the first big play.
