Wyoming is likely studying the game film this week of the big 66-21 loss North Texas suffered at the hands of Texas Tech last Saturday.
The Cowboys face North Texas on Saturday. After a competitive first quarter, The Mean Green turned the ball over three times, helping the Red Raiders score 35 points in the second quarter. Mean Green was already down by 10 at the end of the first frame.
North Texas, now 2-1 on the season pulled within three points in the first quarter, when Wyatt Young took a screen pass 75 yards for a score.
UNT coach Eric Morris said that his team needed to do some soul searching this week. The second quarter of the game was the worst 15 minutes he’s ever participated in, Morris said.
Coach Morris said the big challenge getting his team ready for Wyoming is ignoring the 0-3 record the Cowboys are bringing to Lubbock this week.
Morris said Wyoming is a better team than their 0-3 record indicates going into the matchup.
Saturday’s game will be the final non-conference contest for both the Cowboys and Mean Green before conference play begins.
Saturday’s matchup will be the first-ever meeting between UW and North Texas, which was a member of the Sun Belt Conference (2000-13) and Conference USA (2013-23) before joining the American Athletic Conference last season.
Kickoff is set for 5:00 p.m. Bigfoot 99 will be on the air with the pregame show at 3:30.
