Three Keys to Victory

1. Establish a running game
This is the last non-conference game the Frogs have on their schedule. Any kinks need to be worked out now while the games don’t have as much importance. The trio at running back might become a quartet on Saturday, as true freshman Lonta Hobbs continues to get significant work in practice.

2. Don’t take North Texas lightly
Throw out the stats about the Mean Green not scoring a touchdown against TCU in 11 quarters. UNT has played Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech and Alabama in the last two seasons. They are not afraid of a quality opponent. y

3. Gut it out
This is the fourth game in three weeks for the Frogs, and legs are starting to get tired. A sluggish practice earlier in the week was not to Patterson’s liking, and he warned the team in a tirade about the consequences if the effort was translated to Saturday. This is the last game heading into a bye week, and the team will then have two weeks before their next game.
