3 Keys to Success... UNT vs. FAU

[Harry]

Don't let "Motor" beat you.  If we can keep him in check early, and stay even on turnovers we got a shot.

This.  A 3-3-5 is not built to stop a power running game, but to use TCU as an example, it can stop a team that is trying to run out of a spread type formation.  One problem with us is our 3-3-5 is predictable and a bigger problem is we don't have the hybrid players like TCU to make it unpredictable and successful.   

We barely have players on defense that can do one thing at a high level.  We will need hybrid players that can blitz, stop the run and tackle in space, have a high IQ and play recognition, speed, and the ability to cover to pull off a successful 3-3-5.

This could be a game where Dee Baulkman could really shine.   I don't think we'll see as much Preston in that Nickel spot.

Ejiya, Wheeler and Garner are the kinds of LBs you're asking for... the problem is, sans Jojo behind Wheeler, there is no quality depth behind these guys.  So they get little-to-no rest during the game.

We have 100% confirmed that we won't see a surprise appearance by Mr. English tomorrow, right?

#1-3 Don't let FAU get the ball

Key will be defense. Can they keep FAU from having another track meet on them? I seriously have my doubts....
