North Texas vs UTEP Game Preview

Why North Texas Will Win

Can North Texas keep it all going after winning five straight regular season game to close out 2021, including a 20-17 win over UTEP?

The quarterback room got stronger with more options to push Austin Aune, the running backs are there around a veteran offensive line, and the defense should be just good enough to hold up against a UTEP offense that’s not going to explode.

The Miners lost their star deep threat – Jacob Cowing is about to do big things for Arizona – for a passing game that wasn’t exactly razor sharp. On the other side, UNT might have its best linebacking corps in the Seth Littrell era and should hold up well against the run, but …

Why UTEP Will Win

UTEP isn’t going to get fancy, but it should be effective.

It’s going to use its suddenly-strong offensive front to try pounding away. The running backs are deep and good, three all-stars return on the O line, and Gavin Hardison is a veteran quarterback who’ll keep pushing the ball deep – the UNT secondary is a bit of a question mark – even without Cowing.

The linebacking corps is great, Praise Amaewhule is one of the best pass rushers in the conference, and the secondary got a whole bunch of help from the transfer portal.

What’s Going To Happen

This should be a relatively low-scoring battle – sort of like last year’s meeting – with the UTEP defense keeping the North Texas ground game that led Conference USA last season from going off.

The Mean Green were stuffed for under four yards per carry by the Miners last year and won, but they should be a wee bit better and the passing game will connect on the third down plays the other side won’t.

It might not be the most scintillating game, but it’ll be close and it’ll get interesting late.

Why UTEP Will Win

It’s UTEP’s shot at a four-win season for the first time since 2016, and to get it, this is when the offense has to get moving.

The North Texas defense has been non-existent at times. It struggles on third downs, it’s getting destroyed against the run, and it gives up big plays and points in bunches.

UTSA has able to run for 443 yards, SMU tore off 366, and the teams that didn’t run all that well was because they were too busy passing. UTEP doesn’t have a special ground game, and it was only able to get over 100 yards three times, but it’s been able to come up with multiple rushing scores in six games.

The Miner offensive line is playing well, and the defensive front is good against the run, but …

Why North Texas Will Win

The North Texas offense has the explosion that UTEP doesn’t.

The D might have problems coming up with meaningful stops, but the O is outstanding on third downs, it leads Conference USA in passing, and it’s great at connecting with the downfield passing game.

The accuracy hasn’t been there for Jason Bean – or Austin Aune – but the league’s best attack should be able to roll against a UTEP secondary that hasn’t been tested all that often, but struggled when teams have kept throwing.

What’s Going To Happen

Thanks to all the COVID issues, UTEP is not about to play its fifth straight road game – it won’t have a home game this year against an FBS team. The Miners have yet to beat a team that has an FBS win, and it’s not going to happen here.

UTEP will run well early, and then the North Texas passing game will take over and have the game in hand in the second half.
