49-21 RiceCakes

McNulty 14-29 201yds 1td 1 int

[meangreendork]

The defense will fight the good fight all game, produce turnovers, and even create scoring opportunities. They may even put 7 on the board. Special teams will be point, too. They'll create a turnover, lock-in the FGs, and put the offense in a good place to score. The offense will stall out like last week and last season. They'll miss opportunities, probably even give the ball away. This means the defense will be put in increasingly short field position while they're also tired.

NT - 17
Rice - 30+

[Greendylan]

UNT - 6

Rice - 41

 

I expect us to amass about 150 yards of total offense.

[Cerebus]

North Texas - 34

Rice - 10

You think Tisha Campbell would agree to manage the ticket office under our new AD, Jodie Sweetin?

[Got5onIt]

I woke up with a positive vibe today. No doubt, I have a good feeling about Sat and will make my prediction:

Defense does well for 3 qtrs but runs out of gas. Special teams is solid again.

Rice - 52

UNT - 17

Coaches watch another bad offensive performance and decide to make some changes. We see a new QB in the 4th qtr and a ray of hope overcomes the NT crowd. Week 4 becomes a happy week!

It all depends on attendance.  

If it is a well attended game, you know one of those "opportunity" games to make a great impression and convert a bunch of new fans into the faithful, then we lose in a laugher, a boring, one-sided, unmitigated 38-6 disaster which sees everyone walking out of Apogee in a dazed stupor.  

If, on the other hand, it is a sparsely attended game or becomes one by halftime with only a few of the die hard fans left to witness one of the greatest games in UNT sports history, we win 45-44.

Rice 1  NT 0

I see this game playing out a lot like the La Tech game last year.

Rice- 49

UNT-17

Damarcus Smith comes into the game in the 4th and leads UNT to our 2 touchdowns for the game.  

I think Smith will get a chance to go into the game before Greer does.  

Good one. McNulty not in the whole time!!!

[Matt from A700]

Rice-27
NT-10

Andrew McNulty 10/21 190 yards 1 TD 2 INT 1 FF

Please prove me wrong NT and McNulty. Please.

21,450 attendance.

McNulty averages 19 yards/completion... WHAAA?

38-10, #5 has less than a stellar day.

[NTSUEagle]

N.D. Kalu's Alma Mater:  35

Patrick Cobbs' Alma Mater:  6

 

Long Season, if McNulty can't get accurate.

look for alot of this expression in my section:

Sadly, that's going to be me with my hot chocolate, if we perform the way I'm expecting.

 

Rice 32

North Texas 6

...and that's with our defense playing a good game.

[Got5onIt]

Rice 1  NT 0

Mac forfeits after Mini breaks his pinky toe in warmups.

This is definitely the way I prefer to lose. Saves me a lot of grief and a chance to use 3 hours elsewhere. 

[MeanGreenHoops]

N.D. Kalu's Alma Mater:  35

Patrick Cobbs' Alma Mater:  6

 

Long Season, if McNulty can't get accurate.

Side note, I saw Patrick Cobbs at the SMU game. Nice guy.

[97and03]

Rice 77   UNT 20

 

Too soon?

[southsideguy]

After watching the SMU game I have no real hope for this team.  So any win will surprise me and i have no expectations going to the games.  I am a Mean Green Homer but after the first game I had to take the green tinted glasses off.

 First play of the Rice game, hand off up the middle, second play hand off up the middle, third play hand off up the middle, fourth play punt.  But we will do it fast!

Or first play hand off to left (+3 yds), second play hand off to right (-1 yd), third play hurried incomplete pass, fourth play punt. Lot of those, too.

[southsideguy]

Didn't think about the hurried incomplete pass.........

We did a pretty good job moving the ball downfield when punting.

[UNT90]

The deal with this game is that everywhere we are strong (run defense maybe?), Rice's oppositional unit is stronger (Rice can run the pork outta the pigskin). 

And everywhere Rice is weak (vertical pass defense), UNT's oppositional unit is weaker (weak armed QB and a lack of will by the coaching staff to throw the deep ball). 

This SHOULD be a very ugly loss for UNT, but crazy things happen every week in college football. UNT needs 3 non-offensive touchdowns to have a shot.
