North Texas vs Rice Game Preview


Why North Texas Will Win

The Rice offense isn’t good enough to keep up if North Texas can get out to a huge start.

Shocking win over UAB aside, the Owls still only came up with 346 yards of total O, there isn’t enough of a running game, and the passing attack isn’t built to bomb away to keep up in a firefight.

The 30 points scores last week against the Blazers were the most against any FBS team, with only one other game with over 17.

North Texas has its issues, but the offense is versatile, balanced, and it wouldn’t have a problem getting into a back-and-forth battle, but …

Why Rice Will Win

The North Texas defense isn’t good enough.

The offense might have enough parts to come up with over 200 yards both running and passing if everything goes right, but the line allows way too many plays behind the line. It’s that other side that’s the issue.

The run defense stuffed Liberty last week, but it allowed over 300 yards through the air for the second straight game in yet another loss. The Mean Green are allowing 35 points per game, they’re turning the ball over way too much, and Rice should be able to take control of all of that because …

What’s Going To Happen

Slower and steadier should win the race here.

Rice is terrific at owning the time of possession battle, and it should be able to grind a bit – even if the running game isn’t great – by converting on just about every important third down.

The Owls will show off decent balance with one of the most efficient and effective offensive days of the year. All of a sudden, Rice will win four of its last five games as it makes a sneaky push for a bowl game.

Why Rice Will Win

The Owns haven’t been able to get anything going this year with just two games so far, but the passing game hasn’t been all that bad.

Mike Collins threw four touchdown passes in each of the two games and hit plenty of downfield plays in the win over Southern Miss on Halloween.

Coming into the season, the receiving corps was a sneaky-good positive with the upside to hit a whole lot of home runs, and starting with Austin Trammell – en catches for 219 yards and five scores – it’s happening. Now they get to go against a secondary that allowed 306 yards per game, and isn’t any better against the run. But …

CFN Experts Picks, Predictions: Week 12

Why North Texas Will Win

The North Texas offense is unstoppable. The defense might give up yards and points faster than the O can work, but the air show has been a blast over 300 yards in each of the first five games and 14 touchdown passes.

The passing game is the best in Conference USA, the running game is the best in the conference, too, and the 594 total yards per game are the third-best in the nation. They’re going to set the pace, but can Rice keep up?

What’s Going To Happen

Yeah, Rice can make this very, very fun.

Expect the two passing games to trade haymakers all game long, and have a good time enjoying the show between two teams that haven’t had a whole lot of luck this season getting on the field.

It’s been several weeks since Rice was able to play, and North Texas hasn’t played since October 17th. These two will bring the energy.

Rice FINALLY got its first win of the season with a strong offensive performance in a win over Middle Tennessee. Can it close out strong against North Texas and UTEP to crank up the momentum going into next year?

North Texas can’t slip. This hasn’t been the year it was expected to be, but QB Mason Fine is back at the helm after a rough day in the blowout loss to Louisiana Tech, and a bowl is still a possibility by beating Rice this week and closing out against UAB.

The Mean Green passing game might not be the high-flying fun show it should be, but Rice doesn’t have the offense to keep up any sort of pace.

Fine will throw for 300 yards, the Owl running game won’t be enough to take over the game, and the turnover margin will be even. Rice was able to survive last week partly because it was a +2 against the Blue Raiders. It won’t be that this week.
