The opening line is out. Louisiana Tech +5.5. A little higher than I thought it would be. I think this is a winnable game.
Other lines of interest.
ULL +7.5 at Marshall. Now 10.5
UTSA -34.5 at FIU. Now -33
WKU -5.5 at MTSU. Now -8
Charlotte +24 at UAB. Now +23.5
LSU+3 at Florida. Now +2.5
ULM +18 at South Alabama. Now +17
Rice +5.5 at FAU. Now +4
Tech at North Texas. Now +6.5
Line has moved to +6.
Anybody have any info on UNT? What should we expect from UNT football this year?
I read up on them today. Here is what I saw. This will be another game played by two bad football teams.Quote:

Their offense has performed better so far, but against much easier opponents.

Tech 69th 30.2 ppg 100 more ypg, but only 4 more ppg.
Their offense is pretty balanced. 262 yards passing and 214 yards rushing per game. Rushing is pretty much per committee. Their best back Oscar Adaway missed last season due to injury. He might have a big day against our defense. Their QB (Austin Anue) is starting for pretty much his third season. He is 99 for 176, 56.25%, 1496 yards, 15 td's, 7 ints. Nothing special.
The good news is they turn the ball over too. 12 turnovers to our 15.
This game, like the last one, will come down to who makes fewer mistakes. Like us their coach is no great stuff either. Vegas sees no defense in this one as the over/under is 70.5.
If we win the turnover battle and Cumbie doesn't blow it, we should be in it at the end. Two big if's I know, but that is going to be the case the rest of the season.
They have beaten UTEP (horrible), Texas Southern (horrible), and FAU. With loses to SMU, Memphis and UNLV. The loss to UNLV gives me some hope, as they are not a very good team.
Great writeup, Tom. Thanks.Quote:

If I am right on these two assumptions that means 4 wins and 5 losses. Therefore, we have to win 2 out of 3 against North Texas, Rice and MTSU to get into a bowl game. Very small margin for error.Quote:

Gentlemen, this could be a real pillow fight! La Tech will get at least one, possibly two "pick sixes" during this game. For it is written, "Austin Aune throws interceptions". Our only hope is our running game. It's pretty decent. But nothing else to hang our hats on.
Welcome DeepGreen, always exciting playing UNT.
If you have one that weighs north of 220 and has an attitude, you my have all in takes.:((Quote:
