North Texas vs Army Prediction 11-9-24 College Football Picks

In this article, we will formulate a North Texas vs Army Prediction for this College Football Week 11 game on Saturday, November 9th, at Apogee Stadium.  Let’s take a look at an Army Black Knights vs North Texas Mean Green pick. 

Army Stays Perfect

Army has had a perfect to start the season and they come into this game with an 8-0 record overall. In the last game, Army’s offense was without their starting quarterback and they were able to secure the 20-3 victory over Air Force. Dewayne Coleman started at quarterback and he completed 5 of his 8 passes for 48 yards. He also rushed 16 times for 42 yards. Kanye Udoh was the star of the show on the ground finishing with 22 carries for 158 yards and two touchdowns. 

Army on the season is averaging 37.8 points while their defense is giving up 11.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 14th in the league while the defense is ranked 1st. Bryson Daily missed the last game, but he’s probably heading into this game. 

Can North Texas Defense Be Better?

North Texas has been scoring well heading into this game but their defense has been a problem and that has led to two straight losses. In the last game against Tulane, North Texas scored 37 points, but the defense gave up 45 points, and they ended up losing. Chandler Morris completed 38 of his 57 passes for 449 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The defense however was awful, and if the defense isn’t better, they are going to struggle here. 

North Texas is averaging 40.8 points while their defense is giving up 36.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 6th in the league while the defense is ranked 128th. The good news for the North Texas defense is they had two weeks to prepare for the triple option.
