After a double-overtime win over Rice on Sept. 24, North Texas took that momentum and drove it down Middle Tennessee’s gullet last weekend.
The Mean Green did so to the tune of 17 plays for 84 yards, chewing up the first 7 minutes, 21 seconds against the Conference USA East Division favorites.
So what did that mean? Suffering eight three-and-outs on its next nine possessions, nothing. MTSU walked out of Denton with a 30-13 victory.
The Mean Green (2-3 overall, 1-1 C-USA) will try again Saturday night against Marshall in a 7 p.m. game airing on American Sports Network.
