UNT has not seen a defense like So. Miss yet......ahhhhh, did they forget Iowa?  Iowa basically held the #4 team in CF to a draw last week.  They D'd up against Penn St pretty well.  UNT looked, not so bad against that same D.  If this is how So. Miss is looking at UNT as an opponent, I like our chances.....

"But as much success as North Texas has had this year on offense, it hasn't had to go against a defense like Southern Miss' yet."

I would think Iowa might have something to say about that.

And I would also say as much success as Southern Miss has had on defense, it hasn't had to go against an offense like North Texas' yet....

Yeah I wrote in the preview that Southern Miss' defensive stats come from stopping an inept Kentucky offense, a terrible Southern, and a mediocre (at best) ULM. This will be Southern Miss' biggest offensive challenge by a good margin.

I saw the same sentiment from their fans, that we "hadn't faced a defense as good as theirs". Uhh, Iowa? Numbers you put up against terrible offensive teams don't count, y'all.

OT, but I couldn't help but notice SMU is tied for 5th in the country in PPG.

Playing Southern and ULM is a joke...let's not overestimate those wins.  They are 2-1 due to scheduling.  They'd be 1-3 or 2-2 like us w/ the same schedule.  That being said, I'm scared of this game.
