NT is beating Arkansas 34-10 at the half. They look to have few weaknesses. Their QB is very good, but doesn't handle pressure well. They tackle hard and are hard to bring down. Think that Buckshot can pass on them, if he has some time. IF they play like they are today, it is going to be a long day next Saturday. We are really going to have to step up to play them close. Anyone else watching the game? Thoughts?

Watched them in their bowl game last year. One of the hardest hitting teams I've seen. Gill needs to bring the guys with an attitude next week. Arkansas seems to have nothing for them today. Haven't noticed any weakness so far?

Outside chance they get ranked this week - would be cool to host a top 25 team. If this game doesn’t sell out, I will be disappointed. N Texas should have 2500 there - big school that has alumni all over the place.

UNT will not have numbers anywhere close to 2500. They do not see LU as the type of game worth traveling to see.

North Texas will probably be best team ever to visit Williams Stadium.

So glad to have a few extra practices to get ready for them. Few extra days to heal after Army as well.

Yes, but they were in a must pass situation for most of the game and their 2nd string QB had to come in as well.

This years UCF will be UCF.

Norrh Texas is very good but Arkansas also isn't that great so it's still to early to tell how good they really are.

With that said it is going to be a tough matchup for us.

First and foremost i wouldn't tell my team an opponent has few weaknesses. I may think it in my head, but i won't actually say it. It will be my job to analyze film and determine what those weaknesses are and exploit them. This postponement came at a good time for us to get healthy, but also watch extra film on UNT in addition to the live game on the SEC Network today.

My thought is, if you want to slow down that passing attack, disguise your looks. Show two deep zone at the line, then convert to man free just before the snap. Show a 4 man rush, then pound him with a delay from a backer or DB. Don't give him a chance to stand there and make the kind of plays theyve made so far...I'm not sure of Fine's mobility, but if we can get him off his spot, we have the DBs to make plays downfield.

Just watch - 38k in enrollment - they have a ton of fans in a 3 hour radius all excited about a 3-0 team and a guy starting to get mentioned for Heisman or the FBS # 1 rated QB in at least 1 category - .DC alone has that many excited alumns who will get their only chance to see them play live.

He already has agent. Unless BJ has cut ties. Which I could understand because at this point his agent has not proven to be an asset. :D
