College Football Week 7 Odds, Picks & Predictions: North Texas vs. Louisiana Tech
Both of these offenses are uber-explosive, ranking in the top-15 IsoPPP. But North Texas is better equipped to deal with that than Louisiana Tech (No. 64 vs. No. 94 IsoPPP defenses). The efficiency game on each side should battle to a draw.
North Texas’ offense is built around putting defenders into conflict, asking them to solve complex problems, and then often forcing them to make tackles one-on-one in space. HC Seth Littrell has a power read and inside-zone read ethos in the run game, and his passing game flowers out from quick-hitters to shot-play leverage beaters.
Disciplined defenses with talent that can tackle can totally derail Littrell’s machinations. Defenses that don’t keep gap integrity, defenses that get confused on the back-end with bullets flying, and defenses that struggle to tackle in space get mercilessly gouged by it.
You could accurately describe Louisiana Tech’s defense as the latter. The Bulldogs’ defense ranks No. 118 in rushing success rate, No. 88 in passing explosion, and No. 129 in PFF tackling grade.
North Texas comes in well-rested off a bye. I expect the Mean Green to race by La Tech.
