It has been quite a start to the season, that not many saw coming. Army comes into this game with a 1-1 record, which isn’t all that shocking, but the way they have gotten to that record is the shocking park. Against Tarleton State, a game they were favored big in, they ended up losing 30-27. Everyone had counted them out in the last game going on the road against Kansas State, and all they did was come away with the 24-21 victory. They outscored Kansas State 17-8 in the second half, to pick up the win.
Cale Hellums was under center and he had a huge game on the ground, rushing 41 times for 124 yards, and two touchdowns. They are going to need him to have a huge game on the ground again here. Army on the season is averaging 25.5 points while their defense is giving up 25.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 84th in college football, while the defense is ranked 94th.
Why Army Will Beat North Texas
It has been a strong start to the season for North Texas, and they have won each of the first three games of the season. The only close game was in the second game against Western Michigan. In the last game though, against Washington State, they really impressed putting up 59 points on the way to the victory. At halftime they were up 42-3, and they never looked back on the way to the victory. The Mean Green had 410 yards and 247 of those went through the air. Drew Mestemaker is under center and he completed 24 of his 29 passes for 211 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
North Texas on the season is averaging 47.67 points while their defense is giving up 13.13 points per game. The offense is ranked 11th in all of college football while the defense is ranked 29th. In this game, the defense is going to need to step up and really slow down the run in a big way.
Why North Texas Will Beat Army
Army can try and slow down the pace of this game all they want, it’s not going to work; this North Texas offense is just way too talented. It doesn’t matter if the Mean Green are passing the ball, or running the ball, they are talented, and they will show that again. This probably isn’t a game where Army is going to score 40 points by themselves, but both offenses combined are going to do enough to push this game over the total. This total should be closer to 60. Back the over to cash here with ease.
