The bye week has come and gone for the UL Ragin' Cajuns and the North Texas Mean Green, restoring both teams to near full strength and now the fans of both teams are chomping at the bit for the coin-flip.
UL
UL has a decent offense, but their ability to score is questionable. UL lacks the playmakers of a team like MTSU to whom UNT yielded 37 points.
(One can make the argument the game was played in Denton, but I'd argue that UNT played their worst quarter of the season vs. MTSU giving away 20 points in a quarter while being totally incompetent on offense, so at worst it is a wash.)
UL has a good veteran OL, a solid senior RB, and a promising QB, but the receiving corps is not reliable or explosive as MTSU's. That will hurt vs. UNT's strong pass coverage which is allowing a conference low 54 percent completion rate despite a weak pass rush.
