What’s Going To Happen
This isn’t necessarily for the Conference USA West title – Louisiana Tech, UTSA, and Southern Miss are still players in the race, but …
It’s probably for the Conference USA West title.
Brilliant over the last three games, the UAB defense has allowed just 14 points in blowout after blowout. The D has been amazing at getting off the field, it’s not allowing a thing through the air, and it’s almost all due to a pass rush that’s suffocating the Conference USA offenses.
North Texas lost to Louisiana Tech, but it got its offense rolling again after a few underwhelming performances, beating Southern Miss 30-7.
Mason Fine and the passing game don’t turn the ball over, there’s just enough of a ground game to keep things honest, and when the O works, it takes over games in dominant fashion.
Can the Blazer defensive front get to Fine enough to throw him off? It’s not like the D has faced a who’s who of passing games – at least, besides Louisiana Tech’s.
The Mean Green won in a 46-43 firefight last season, and while this won’t be nearly as much fun this time around, it’ll be a better game for the Blazers.
The defense will keep UNT down just enough with third down stop after third down stop to survive.
