North Texas is coming off yet another come from behind victory against the Old Dominion Monarchs last Saturday and maintains its sole possession of first place in Conference USA West Division. Louisiana Tech is coming off a rout of Rice but the Bulldogs are pretty banged up. It's likely the earlier report of 18 players who are questionable or out for the season will drop down to the high single digits to low double digits by game time Saturday. With a win this Saturday, North Texas will hit six wins and become bowl eligible for the second time in 10 years.

North Texas is coming off its worst performance under second year head coach Seth Littrell in a loss to Florida Atlantic Owls in Boca Raton, FL. The Mean Green will be looking to bounce back against the Old Dominion Monarchs, who come to Denton, TX at 2-5 overall and are win-less in Conference USA action.

I'm not going to cover the game as there really isn't much worth going over.
