Tonight is the night. #24 South Florida (4-1. 1-0) rolls into #Denton to take on North Texas (5-0, 1-0) in a sold out #DATCU stadium. #UNT is a slim 1.5 pt favorite in the game that kicks off at 6:36pm on #ESPN2. Will young #UNT QB Drew Mestemaker be able to handle the pressure of this game? #AAC

How good is undefeated North Texas really? USF will find out on Friday

When the schedule was announced for this season, USF's game on Friday with North Texas probably didn't jump out as anything to be overly concerned about. And we

Should be a nice crowd on Friday night in #DATCU Stadium for #USF and #UNT as 20,352 tickets already distributed. Tickets have been moving quickly so final number may approach 26,000 27,000.

For the first time since 1959 the #UNT Mean Green are 5-0. North Texas knocks off South Alabama 36-22 in #Denton. UNT will be idle next week before facing #USF. #AAC #SBC

Make it seven touchdowns in two games for the freshman Caleb Hawkins. 36-22 Mean Green lead at the 2 minute warning. North Texas doesn’t win this game without Hawkins. @americanconf.bsky.social

MeanGreenFodder @meangreenfodder.bsky.social · 13d

South Alabama scores and then converts on the 2-pt conversion. Mean Green cling to a 28-22 lead with six minutes left in the game. #UNT in danger of blowing another lead late.

MeanGreenFodder @meangreenfodder.bsky.social · 13d

Interesting that South Alabama has exposed a flaw in Mestemaker’s game today. His accuracy on throws over 20 yards isn’t great. It’s a problem he has had all year and something he needs to work on.

MeanGreenFodder @meangreenfodder.bsky.social · 13d

#Mestemaker with the qb keeper around the left side for the 4-yard TD. Nice answering drive by the Mean Green. 28-14 with 2:08 left in the 3rd qtr North Texas leads.

South Alabama has no problem marching it down the field as they take 12 plays to go 75 yards for the TD. 21-14 Mean Green.

MeanGreenFodder @meangreenfodder.bsky.social · 13d

Caleb Hawkins takes the screen pass 69-yards to the house for his second td of the game. He now has six TDS in two games. #UNT leads #USA 21-7. Hawkins is a dude.

MeanGreenFodder @meangreenfodder.bsky.social · 13d

Ugly end to the 1st half but Mean Green leading 14-7. Mestemaker probably played the worst half of football since he took over the starting job. He has missed several open receivers today. #UNT Will receive the second half kickoff. #AAC

Freshman Caleb Hawkins with a 6-yd touchdown run. Four straight carries for Hawkins on the drive after Wesloski picks off Jaguar quarterback Bishop Davenport. 14-7 #UNT leads.

End of the 1st quarter and the game is tied at 7-7. Mean Green hasn’t adjusted yet to the zone coverage #USA is deploying. Meste holding on to the ball forever as he has all day to throw. @americanconf.bsky.social

MeanGreenFodder @meangreenfodder.bsky.social · 13d

Mean Green have a kicking problem. Field goal attempt by Nguma is wide right. Game still tied at 7.

MeanGreenFodder @meangreenfodder.bsky.social · 13d

#UNT (4-0. 1-0) will try for a 5-0 start to the season for the 1st time since 1959 as they host South Alabama (1-3) at #DATCU Stadium in #Denton. Kickoff is set for 11:00 and will be televised on #ESPNU. #UNT is a 12 1/2 pt favorite over the #Jaguars #USA is coached by former #UT qb Major Applewhite
