Predictions for Idaho

[jtm0097]

Lets get the predictions going. I say light the tower Saturday night. 35-14 Mean Green! I think we will jump on them early, and keep it going from there.

I predict a UNT win for the Mean Green Nation. Score? Don't have a clue...1point more than Idaho gets will get the win.

[UNT Mean Green]

42-17 Mean Green

[MeanGreenTexan]

I think the defense continues to give up a lot of big plays. If the big plays (20+ yds) don't result in TD's then our defense will shrink in the red zone and keep them out for the most part, forcing FG's.

I think our o-line should be able to mow these guys down, so the running game should be impressive early on. Hopefully we can get a few quick TD's before ID starts stacking the box. Once ID decides to put 8 in the box, we'll get to see what the passing game looks like. Hopefully it's good!

I'm going to say:

UNT - 34

Idaho - 23

Edit: Students show up en mass for this one. Attendance: just a shade under 25k.

31-17. Improved passing game from UNT hits a few big plays. The new 4 TE set that you guys have yet to see is unveiled and Idaho can't seem to stop it.

34-17....we run for about 300 yards. We'll keep it on the ground as much as possible, and then go to Ohio and shock them by spreading it out.

[meaniegreenie]

34-10 Greenies!

[ColoradoEagle]

35-10 NT

28k in attendance

[Mean Green 93-98]

31-21 NT

24.5k attendance

[untjim1995]

I see us winning this 27-17. We score late to take the lead and finish off the Potatoes. I suspect we will see a crowd of about 23k.

NT 24 Idaho 10

[YIPYKIA]

The score will be NT 31 Idaho 3

[meangreener]

UNT 24

Idaho 7

28.5K in attendance

[UNT90]

31-21 NT

24.5k attendance

Exact same score I was going to predict, although this game makes me VERY nervous (but after the last 8 years, what game doesn't?).

I see the line settling around 10 and the betting public is usually very close to being right.

27-20 good guys.

I wish I could say we win by more, but I'm not sure how well we'll be able to maintain drives and, more importantly, get in the endzone once we reach the redzone.

We were only able to score 4 touchdowns at home against Texas Southern last year. If our offense hasn't improved then I think we score 3 tds this game. Hopefully we'll see some notable improvement.

Eagles turn the spuds into waffle fries. 78 to negative five. Da Green!

[JRock]

40-17 Mean Green. 29.5k making it LOUD!!!

[UNT90]

I expect to see at least 8 Spuds in the box on our 1st offensive play from scrimmage and expect that to continue all game.

Unless we make them pay for it through the air.

We didn't even try to make anyone pay for it last year.

Will this year be different?

think we'll win but more interested in attendance prediction:

22,222. I will be disappointed. Please prove me wrong people. Show that we can really fill the alumni side.

I think the heat may keep the attendance lower.

I would be surprised if we had lower attendance at this game than we did against Texas Southern last year. Actually having our home opener be our SEASON opener should help quite a bit.

[JRock]

If you remember, the UNT UH Game was the same way. Great turnout.

I think the heat may keep the attendance lower.

UNT is a better team than any of the teams in the past 8 years. This one won't be close.

Attendance...first season opener at home in so many years. Great underclassmen attendance; lots of freshmen/sophmore excitement. I predict 27k at minimun and with a large percentage staying after the first half. This will help with attendance for the second home game as well.

Yup. Heat won't matter. This game is gold for alumni and students are new to campus and haven't had very long for apathy to set in.

27K minimum.
