Official UAB Game Score Prediction Thread

[MeanGreenTexan]

Week 3 was a tough matchup for the Mean Green, and I think a lot of us came away rather impressed with the effort.

Now, it's time to kick-off conference play, and lucky-for-us, we draw the feel-good-story Blazers of UAB!

After 2 different weeks of extreme challenges for our defense, it will be nice to draw a squad that doesn't have an incredible <fill-in-the-blank player/unit>.  They'll be very well coached, but they'll be overmatched by the Mean Green this week.  There is 2 weeks worth of frustration built up for our guys.  If they can keep that extra motivation under control and stay focused, they should come out and immediately impose their will against UAB.   If they're overly-amped, look for the costly mistakes/penalties to continue to pile up, and the game will be sloppy & closer than it should be.

Offensively, I look for Wilson to get rolling again, and for Mason to continue working on stretching the field with Guyton.  Should be a pretty big day offensively.

Defensively, I expect a shaky UAB OL to have a tough time with UNT's defensive front 7 with all the blitzes/stunts/uncertainty about where pressure is coming from.  Should be a field day for Ejiya again.

Not saying I expect this to be a blowout because UAB will score some... because they'll likely get some 3rd down conversions offensively while we shoot ourselves in the foot on 3rd down offensively.  But it should be apparent throughout the game which team is superior.

UNT: 38
UAB: 24

[MGNation92]

I think we'll take the lead early and keep it.

UNT - 42

UAB - 30

[UNTLifer]

45-17.

[MeanGreen_MBA]

37-13 for the guys in Green....Mean Green that is....

[Ben Gooding]

42-21. UNT. 

[AustinFromUNT]

I predicted us to win 38-24 on Sunday. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

[RealMeanGreenMatt]

35-24 And we light the tower Saturday night.

Dammit, I was literally going to predict 38-24.

17,751 in attendance.

[southsideguy]

35-24 mean green, i think attendance jumps up to 20k.

Yep, it's parent's weekend.  Attendance will be better than the 1st game....well, unless it's a sweltering 95F + 85% humidity still....either way, should be better.

UNT - 31

UAB - 20

[NeonGreen]

42-7 UNT

[Joshdude182]

I'm thinking 38-21 in favor of the Mean Green.

[untjim1995]

We win 48-28. Never in doubt. Announced attendance will be over 18k, with butts in seats around 14k.

North Texas - 54

You think UAB is Hurricane-ravaged-Lamar-level bad?

Dammit, I didn't know about Parents Weekend.

19,163

[UNTLifer]

Parent's Weekend?  SRO!

[NT93]

I agree with those in the 35-24 range.  I really hope its worse than that though.

I think it's cathartic. Give him a minute.

But yeah let's pound em.

38-24

[97and03]

We could struggle against a power run game. They have four guys over 100 yards on the season and their QB is one of those. The QB has 422 passing, less than Fine had against SMU. 

I still see this as a win.
