This is very interesting. And so I've got a question....

I know that 3rd down efficiency is counted as a statistic. But how about when a team goes on 4th down ? How is that figured ? Offense and defense.

Beat La Tech

GO MEAN GREEN

[strikes]

This tells me it's going to be a good game.

The UNT defensive strength was the secondary, but the matchup edge for LaTech passing vs our defense was in favor of la tech.

Is the La tech passing game really that good after one good game? I guess we will find out.

4th downs aren't figured into the five factors. 3rd downs just carry more weight in determining an outcome of the game. You may go for 1 4th down a game where as you face 16 3rd downs.

Yes our secondary is the strength.

I just believe after watching what La Tech does, they are going to find success against our guys. I'm not expecting it to be a mismatch. Im just expecting their WR's and passing game to win more battles than our DB's. I dont believe La Tech will score their points on the ground. They are going to have to do it through the air. If La Tech was going to try to attack us deep all game that match-up advantage would have gone UNT's way. What Tech wants to do is what UNT is willing to give up. Sokol may go for 250+ in passing and he may complete a large number of passes. What we cant allow is for one of those passes to turn into an explosive play.
