North Texas was up 28-0, and if you have been paying close attention all season you know this was a bad sign. For some mysterious reason, North Texas has been unable put together a full game. Everyone on the internet has their own reason to offer for this situation, but no one has the answer…
This is a much abridged preview. MGN has been otherwise occupied with life and its concerns. Apologies all around.
