College Football Defense Rankings, BlitzIndex Week 7

By Vince Mullins | October 12, 2008

Not so Mean GreenSome very interesting matchups this week that you can exploit via the BlitzIndex, either on the waiver wires, kicker adds or in your lineup choices - or you could just make up your entire team of whomever plays North Texas defense.

To paraphrase my friend Jeff “Pontius” Pilate, “(Mean Green)’s a special kind of bad”. UL-Lafayette’s WR Jason Chery just scored another TD on Sunday morning (sarcasm alert) to add to the 5 scored in Denton on Saturday on the Ragin Cajun’s way to a 59-30 win. While WR Casey “Black Swan” Fitzgerald had one of the biggest receiving games of anyone this season, the bigger story is that North Texas has consistently allowed the most points and yards per game all year long (#120 wire-to-wire is very possible).

To the matchups:  Houston visits #115 SMU, Missouri should rebound against a pass-defense-impaired #20 BI Texas, and Marshall travels to #110 UAB.

To the digits…(you can sort any column) (all kinds of defensive stats on Google Doc here)
