North Texas Upsets #22 UTSA 45-23, Earns Bowl Eligibility

It finally happened. It took 12 weeks but it finally happened. The UTSA Roadrunners were handed their first loss of the 2021 season and the team to do it was the North Texas Mean Green.

The loss itself is surprising to be sure, but the manner in which UTSA lost was more shocking. The Roadrunners were dominated in all facets of the game for all four quarters. A team that up until now looked like a team of destiny—in that the Roadrunners always seemed to have the ball roll their way—looked overwhelmed the entire game. North Texas, a team that started the season 1-6, looked like they were heading to the C-USA title game.
