North Texas has twice set a new mark for offense twice this season. Both times North Texas was primarily quarterbacked by Jason Bean. If you have been following along this season you know Bean has been benched since the SMU game, for performance and Austin Aune has run the offense well, and thrown for 277/per…
Jaelon Darden fell backward as he backpedaled and adjusted to a ball thrown over his left shoulder with less than 10-seconds left. Mason Fine had rolled to his left three steps, and floated a ball to the hash, in the only spot that Darden could get to but away from the defender. Darden made the…
Middle Tennessee Old Dominion Western Kentucky Marshall UAB Louisiana Tech North Texas UTSA FIU Southern Miss UTEP FAU Rice Charlotte Middle Tennessee is on the bubble now as an at large team.
