Interesting UNT vs. UTSA Stat Analysis

Actually amazed at how close the two teams are statistically.

We really need a big game from DT. Accuracy and no bone-headed picks and we will be fine. To me that will be key. Sustained drives and DT throwing the ball like he did the first half of the year.

Expect Brelan to set us up with good field position at least once if not more and for us to take advantage. And our front four is really coming along nicely in regards to pressure.

It will be a tough game for sure, but just do what we have been doing and we'll be fine.

As long as we can play good defense and run the ball with success which will take the ball out of DT's hands and limit his mistakes, we will be fine. These peckers have shit for brains.

UNT 38

UTSA 14

What's missing in that stats breakdown is special teams. I'm curious what the yards are for punt and kick returns are for both teams.

Our punt returner was 1st team all WAC last year with 2 TDs and a healthy average but he has been sub par this season. No doubt UNT has the edge in the return game with Chancellor alone. Hopefully we practiced kicking out of bounds and keeping the ball out of his hands during the bye week

How the hell do you look at those stats and decide utsa is going to win 17-14 on the road? SOS is basically a wash in last 3 and all season. We are roughly even with them in offensive stats, but our defensive stats are much better than theirs. Yeah, that adds up to a win on the road.

They didn't include 4th down stats. I don't know if that's by design, but I feel strongly about us being much better in that area (defensively).

Basically, the folks predicting a 3pt win for UTSA forget that UNT has a thing for scoring in all 3 phases of the game. Come to think, a lot of coaches UNT has played have had a thing for missing that UNT scores in all 3 phases of the game.

What I don't understand is that we have scored 21 or more in every game, but somehow UTSA thinks they will be the team to hold us below that? That is crazy talk!

Well they are assuming that we wont score on special teams or defense. Their basis is our offense just isn't that good. I say its good enough to score more point than them and that's all that matters.

Whenever UTSA has played a tough defense in conference, their offense has folded like a cheap tent.

They get one score on offense.

And it's a field goal long after the game has been decided.

Both teams seem to be getting stronger as the year goes on. Not to criticize Derek, but I think Souza may be their only advantage (albeit an important one). If Souza gets rattled, they are finished and the rout is on.

Our entire D has a real attitude and confidence right now that doesn't show on paper. They will ratchet up the hitting on saturday. Our OL and DL is much better IMO. I can only see losing this game at home if we lose the turnover battle. I hope Mac drives this point home with the players.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.

      UTSA is the only victor today. Not a good round for the American.
