Official Southern Miss Game Score Prediction Thread

[MeanGreenTexan]

I got a chance to watch the USM/ECU game before ours on Sat. I have no idea what to pull from that game in all honesty because it was an absolute slaughter in every way, but I did notice a few things:

1. USM's offensive line is atrocious.

2. USM's offense is really slow. I think they must practice with little to no intensity or something because their game-play speed is just plain S.L.O.W. Plays take forever to develop.

3. USM's defense must be used to practicing against the slow offense, because they are very slow as well.

4. Carden is a really good QB with weapons everywhere. ECU uses Hardy alot like we use Chancellor. These guys tore up USM's defense.

Unless the Mean Green defense comes out flat or something, this game should be a blowout with few points scored by USM.

UNT just needs to execute their normal offensive game plan. Establish the run, minimize mistakes, get Brelan the ball, and wear the defense down with Byrd/Pegram.

Defense just needs to do what they do... bust some heads and cause turnovers. These guys are slow, and we're really fast. The defense should have a field day.

The 2nd/3rd stringers are going to see some significant playing time in this one. USM is really bad.

And again, we're being dissed by another school by being named their homecoming opponent. Eat 'em up Mean Green!

UNT: 45

USM: 13

EDIT: For any current players reading this thread, please contact any of the UNT football HOF'ers from the early 2000's and query them on how much they would like for you to pound USM even worse than my prediction above. 2 bowl losses to these goons. We owe them.

NT by 21. All things aside, this better not be a loss. Really, every game but Rice and Tulsa are games that are easily winnable as long as the team goes out there knowing they still have to go to work and that no game against any team is a given.

Does USM starting their freshman QB change anyone's prognostications?

NT- 42

I'd love to see a blow out & give some much needed rest to our starters heading into the short week. That said., I think we struggle early ( big surprise) & put them away late

UNT 31 So Miss 17

Not really, because what he did in the 2nd half was mostly against ECU's 2nd/3rd stringers. If anything, I would think our defense would pin their ears back a little more.

[UNT90]

52-6 UNT.

USM is worse than Idaho and is in full give up mode. I see 4 picks and two fumble recoveries in our future.

BUT, we are down 6-0 at the end if the 1st qtr, when we finally decide to THROW THE DAMN BALL!!!
