Going back to the well for my 1st 3x play of the season. They came through very easily for us (2x play) the first time against Georgia and I expect they will again this time around.
The Blue Raiders aren't a very good football team, they started off strong but lets looks at who they beat. Western Carolina (1-5), Memphis (1-3), Florida Atlantic (1-3). They have struggled on offense especially in the Red Zone scoring on less than 70% percent of their visits. Qb Logan Kilmore has really been sub-par this season throwing more picks than Td's and barely completing 60% of his passes. If not for a very talented backfield this offense would easily be one of the worst in the nation.
On the Defensive side of the ball they are very bad. Don't tell me they are in top of the nation in takeaways, because they got 9 in those 3 wins I talked about including 5 against FAU! They give up over 450 a game and can't get off the field on 3rd down.
The Mean Green are in a huge bounce back spot. They are back home after 2 very tough road games @ Georgia & @ Tulane. They are much better at home, as they have a huge win over Ball St (who has cashed for us a few times this year). They move the ball up and down the field over 400 yards per and their QB Derek Thompson is one of the better players you haven't heard of. He is very efficient ranking near the top in completion %, and has one of the most underrated WR groups in the country.
Under the lights in Apogee Stadium, North Texas should rack up a ton of yards and easily snap their 2 game losing streak.

Expect the line to move to the key number shortly.
