I'll be watching how Ohio's line play looks.

The interior of our lines last night have me concerned after several big runs up the middle (though, it seemed they were frequently stunting outside trying to keep QB contain and getting caught) and too many failed 3rd/4th and short runs.

I'm also curious how having less rest (after what should be a tough game) might impact their recovery come Saturday.

[Green P1]

Remember the last time we we're 1-0 and feeling swell? Man I'd love to win this rematch.

[UNT90]

Anyone making the trip to the Northern hinterland?

[Mean Green 93-98]

Remember the last time we we're 1-0 and feeling swell? Man I'd love to win this rematch.

This will be a much better Ohio team than we went against that time.

Exactly. They may be the second best team on our schedule. I think some on here are REALLY underestimating just how hard it will be to beat them on the road.

THIS!

That loss may have been the most difficult punch to the SPORTS gut I'd experienced live since my Mean Green fandom began. I'd love to settle the score this week!

I'd love for Ohio to beat this ranked opponent and then we beat Ohio. UNT win over a Top 25 program by proxy.

[meangreen24]

Pretty intrigued by this game. Would be awesome if Ohio can win it.

Same can be said about north Texas...

[meangreen24]

Louisville takes the early lead. Bridgewater is unreal.

[Mean Green 93-98]

Ohio's secondary got smoked there.

[outoftown]

Bridgewater smoking Ohios secondary, but doing it with some serious high quality pin point passing. The ohio defensive line does not llok very impressive either though. Louisville is also quite successfull at running through the nice created creases.

But still early in the game, so maybe that is just start of the season problems

[Mean Green 93-98]

It's tough to know what to take from this game re. Ohio. Louisville is a very good team--they're back to what they were under Petrino. I'd like to think we'd look better against Louisville than this, but I don't know.

[jtm0097]

Not too impressed with Ohio.However, they are playing Louisville. So it is a little harder to judge them.

Louisville's OL outweighs Ohio's DL by an average of 325 to 275 lbs.

[Rudy]

21-0 early 2nd. This one won't be pretty.

[Mean Green 93-98]

I guess on the bright side, we'll get an angry Ohio team.

[Mean_Green09]

Ya not sure you could really defend Bridgewater without pressure. Ohio has had some breakdowns early, much like we did. Ohio is playing a team that should really be undefeated at seasons end.

[ntmeangreen11]

Ohio getting picked apart by the consensus first QB to be taken in 2014 NFL draft (Top pick if not for Clowney) isn't something to draw conclusions from. This is the same UL team that stomped Florida in the Orange bowl last year. I hope Ohio can get something going here. It's never good to play a team coming off a lopsided loss.

[North Texas Shep]

I am watching and it is evident that Bridgewater is a very talented young man, and probably not dumb enough to act like Johnny "Attention Whore" Football. With Bridgewater being so talented it is hard to evaluate Ohio too much right now.

[Mean_Green09]

To be honest there will be tons more pressure on Ohio next week against us.

[outoftown]

seems we are not the only team in that game next week, that has to improve on it's place kicking performance

That said Ohios offense has started to come to live.

Yeah, both Ohio lines are looking pretty weak and overmatched right now. I wonder if there's the thought amongst any of the big uglies and coaching staff to conserve some stamina and strength looking towards this Saturday, or they're really going balls-to-the-wall and just can't muster it.

I guess on the bright side, we'll get an angry Ohio team.

And a very tired Ohio team. You figure Labor Day for recuperation, but then a slim 4 days to prepare against a North Texas squad that had just won one of its best games in a long time.

Also, it's really weird to go between the highlights from last night then look back to ESPN to see essentially the inverse in green uniform against all that red.
