N Texas-104th in pass defense last year.

The secondary gave up 27 TDs with only 9 picks. Replacing all 4 starters from last year which might not be bad considering, but still no experience on the back end.
N Texas's defensive front seven solid by Sunbelt standards with JR middle LB Zach Orr being the best player @ 6-1 230 lbs.
LSU could run it down their throats and be successful too, but I would hope the staff would let Zach air it out to get ready tougher opponents.
N Texas offense has a solid offensive line with 5 returning starters. They are led by JR QB Derek Thompson. Threw for 1,759 yd, 11 tds, 5 ints, and completed 57% of his passes. They won't run on LSU regardless, but they are probably going to throw more anyway this year. If he gets the time, I'm sure they will test the Jalen's. JR Bralen Chancelor is the returning leading receiver with 37 rec for 457 yds and 3 tds.
I don't think N Texas's o-line will give Thompson enough time considering LSU's d-line, but I would really like to see the Jalen's get tested in this one.

Looked at their depth chart and had a good laugh at a starting DT who is 6'2 266. Enjoy Collins or Williford mowing that arse over.

I don't like to jump to conclusions but I think we are going to win the game.

Never understood that. Does Petrino have to save his playbook? If you are going to be good at something and execute it in games properly, it needs to be done in games.

No way. We throw it at minimum 25 times.

I hope so!

It goes without saying that LSU is going to win. LSU will see better athletes in practice.
The point is we know we can run the ball. It makes no sense to all sudden tell Zach he has to win a game with his arm against a quality SEC opponent when he hasn't proven he can do it in a game against an inferior opponent. Let him get his feet wet.
We aren't giving up anything playwise. No secret pass routes, schemes or protections that opponents haven't seen before. It's about execution.
Play like you prcatice and practice like you play.

Last year. With different QB's and a schedule full of bowl-bound opponents.

Passing efficiency is the only passing stat that matters IMO
