Troy, Alabama - North Texas, coming off of a disappointing Conference lose at home to FAU, was looking to get the season back on track.
The Mean Green came out strong in the first quarter, scoring 20 (missed XP), including a interception returned for a touch down by CB Adrian Pittman. The second quarter was a different story, with the defense losing their way and allowing 24, including a 55 yard interception returned for a touch down. The third quarter saw the two teams trading TDs, but the North Texas defense still struggled, allowing a 81 yard touch down run by Trojan WR Anderson. In the fourth quarter the Mean Green were driving toward the goal line to put themselves ahead for the win, when QB Matt Joseph fumbles the ball on the 2 yard line. Lucky for the Mean Green, LG Antonio McDonald picked up the ball and ran it in for the TD. North Texas wins 34 - 31!
