This is about where I am.

Someone wins by 3...

No warm and fuzzy for NT by me. Hope it's a NT blow out but not sure that's reality.

[TreeFiddy]

UNT 21 - FIU 35

Happy to be wrong, but FIU has already played 2 games and will be in a completely different mental state going in to this game.  Hopefully picking against will give them good mojo.

[Udomann]

Just don't see how this goes our way with only a weeks improvement.

FIU by 7

[Tom McKrackin]

I am very sorry, but based on what I saw on Sat and the fact it is a road game,  I am going to have to go with FIU 35 UNT 13.

[Mean Green 93-98]

We'll win.  It may be ugly, but we'll win.  I'll say 31-17.  Hopefully, this is where everyone begins figuring out how to get things clicking.

UNT- 38

FIU- 20

FIU is really bad, guys. 

[GMG_Dallas]

I think some of y'all are a little too down on the Mean Green. FIU squeeked past Maine 14-12 last weekend. For context, Maine went 2-9 last year in the CAA (FCS) which is not like facing an FBS program that may turn things around greatly with an influx of transfers.

If we don't blow them out of the water, I will become very concerned.

[akriesman]

We had better win this game, because FIU is bottom 10 material for sure.  They played La Tech close, but were actually dominated statistically in week 1.

The talent level disparity won't be an issue this week against FIU. I think that will allow the defense to settle in and play better. I expect the running game to pick it up, which will allow the passing game to open up late.   With 50 transfers, Cal may be better than expected this year (possible lower bowl team).

I actually expected a loss last week, but certainly did not expect that horrible performance.  I think our guys are pissed and bounce back this week.

34-20 NT

FIU is no P5-level team, or even a mediocre P5 team such as Cal.  Scheduling Cal as the opening game was a bad mistake. It was close to one of those mismatched 'body bag' games that used to be UNT's annual, fund-raising' practice. That game was even a bigger mismatch given that UNT is in a major rebuilding phase, both team and coaching staff.

UNT's 4 Horsemen of the Green Apocalypse (Ragsdale, Johnson, Adeyi and Adaway) should have a good night and run roughshod over a weak FIU D-line.   38-24 UNT.

I bet the Wyoming and TXSt fans are saying the same things after they played similar teams.  🙄

The idea that having Cal at home would be anything remotely similar to playing a National Title contender on the road is completely laughable.    Cal is not that kind of team. 

And no, we're not in a "major rebuilding phase".   We return a majority of starters from last year.

[Matt from A700]

Mean Green 31

Sunblazers Golden Panthers 20

Will we survive the heat and humidity or wither away like Cal?  

The defense "finds something" and the Mean Green come out on top 51-50.

[Green Crazy]

We'll play a little better and should win. I'd say 37-17. They haven't broke 17 points yet, so I don't think they'll do it against us.  

This is a must win.

[UNT 90 Grad]

41-23, green guys.

[ForneyGreen]

UNT - 37

FIU - 31

 

I expect to see us move the ball more consistently 1st and 2nd half.

I really don't think we can hold FIU's running game in check - hope I'm wrong, but I fear another big day for our opponent's running game.

UNT 45
