The better team has a lot to play for. Army can win out and make it to a bowl, it will be tough to win the next game, but if they win here today they force a showdown with Navy. Something I think is just bound to happen in this match up against North Texas.
Army is pretty much a run first team as they rank last in the nation on the pass because they just don't bother to throw the ball and because of that they are among the leaders in overall defense ranked 13th and 3rd against the pass. They'll face a North Texas team that can put up some offense, but also struggles on defense. Actually they are ranked 115th in scoring defense and 102nd against the run something that favors army big time in this match up. Look for Army to control the ball for long stretches and I look for RB Patrick Mealy to build off his career high 136 rushing yards a week ago. Trent Steelman also coming off his best game 11-14 for 174 yards most of them to his 6-10 WR. Yes you heard that right WR Alejandro Villanueva is the tallest player in college football at 6 foot 10 and had seven catches all for first downs for 119 yards. Granted it was against VMI, but that gives this offense another dimension and another dimension for North Texas to fail at defending.
