North Texas fits all four necessary ingredients. Of course, with this being the Sunbelt, North Texas could win the game outright too - but this has been an awesome trend to follow for many year now so we will be on this for a medium play.

Lean Green has the same OC....> no system change

better one...might be....
FADE any team...if when last seen... the entire team and coach ...was dancing / doing cartwheels / wildly celebrating.....if now favored by the most points in their history.....vs a strong running conference opponent ....that they have beaten the last 4 years ...< or something like that

like most of those....best of luck Train........

* love that Nebraska....if interested in another FCS beatdown.....check out Calhoun / Air Force

As anyone on here will tell you, I love hearing the other side of the argument, although you are incorrect with your system statement.

The offensive coordinator is the same, but they are using Dan McCarney's version of the spread he used at Florida, i.e. new system, new playbook, new terminology. You can read more about that in North Texas's Blue Ribbon Preview and on the North Texas Football blog and their beat reporter has posted some solid info about it as well.

love the WVA play bro. I think Holgorson's offense gets off to a roaring start against a woeful Marshall defense. Best of luck man

Train

what are you seeing on the Hawaii game; Hawaii only returns their QB who is good but they lost every skill position player they had returning only 3 starters on offense; Haw defense is horrble; and Col kicked their ass last year and is MUCH BETTER returning almost everyone including their qb; playing at Hawaii is not as hard anymore and considering its the first game Col wont have those distractions; the line is also moving almost 4 pts towards Col; Col should score at will and Col defense held them in check last year with all their offensive players how are they going to score without any of them but one??

OU game is a gimme; with Tulsa losing Mr Everything and OU with a bye before FSU expect Jones and D which should be one of the best units they have had in 10 years play the entire game. OU puts up MINIMUM 50 if not 60. HORRIBLE spot for TU. IF and a big IF TU does not turn it over then they may keep it under 50 but Kinne will be in trouble all game without his best player

solid info there Prof.....as that would definitely make me like N Texas a little less....mainly because that make Carney a dumbazz ....> a defensive coach > retaining the offensive coordinator > then scrapping the ONLY thing they did well (462 TO vs Clemson...460 vs K St)....and starting over ?
*I would think they are adding a few wrinkles maybe yes......but all new?.....gotta link???

* I don't like the huge stadium opening vs Houston the following week ....do like fading FIU as big favorite

I like the Hoosiers, but that line tells me otherwise
