North Texas at UTSA
(NCAAF) Mean Green (NTX) vs. Roadrunners (UTSA),
Money Line: -118.00 Mean Green (NTX) (Away)
Result: Loss
That sigh of relief you might have noted from the north end of the Metroplex was probably the Mean Green exhaling after being forced to endure 60 minutes of grueling football vs. the Army option attack last weekend . After dealing with all of that West point physicality, UNT will feel like it's on a stroll at the nearby River Walk against the host Roadrunners. Better execution in not just the red zone, but inside the 5-yard-line, could have saved the Mean Green last week vs. the Black Knights, but it's also a UNT offense that had been scoring at a 44 pg clip in the five games prior to Army's trip to Denton last week, and gunslinger QB Chandler Morris had thrown 17 TD passes in the four games prior to last week. Meanwhile, though UTSA has had a few moments this season and has a shot at a bowl, it also blew a 35-7 lead a few weeks ago vs. Tulsa, and lost at Rice, and doesn't have the sharp edge of recent Jeff Traylor editions. Not to sound too snarky, but let's also see QB Owen McCown throw another 4 TD passes as he's done the past two games for the Roadrunners. Play North Texas on ML
