North Texas trap game for Indiana?

Harry · August 18, 2014

October 4 vs. North Texas

During a week when most Big Ten programs will be playing their conference openers, the Indiana Hoosiers will be a week beyond their first Big Ten meeting, with Maryland (September 27 in Bloomington). Nestled between two Big Ten opponents, the Hoosiers will find North Texas, which went a surprisingly good 9-4 a year ago.

North Texas is by no means a powerhouse program, but if it were, this wouldn't be a trap game. Instead, the Eagles—or "Mean Green," if you prefer—rely on scoring enough points to outlast opponents down the stretch of the fourth quarter.

Sound familiar?

If you're an Indiana fan, it should. North Texas scored 414 points to their opponents' 231 in 2013. We're anxious to see what gains Kevin Wilson has made when it comes to his program's defense this season, but if the Hoosiers aren't quite up to snuff, this game could become a touchdown lover's dream come true.

Add to the fact that this game comes between two important Big Ten contests for Indiana, and it's easy to see how a visit from a little-known non-power-conference program like North Texas could trip up the Hoosiers.
