DENTON, Texas — A late-game comeback fell a little short for Middle Tennessee Saturday.
The Blue Raiders (2-5, 1-2) went on the road to preseason Conference USA West Division favorite North Texas (3-4, 2-1) and fell 33-30 on a last-second field goal.
After an interception on fourth down gave the Mean Green a first down and chance to ice the game with just over a minute left, a fumble granted MT a final drive down 30-23.
With backup quarterback Chase Cunningham in the game, the Raiders marched all the way for a tying score, Cunningham running it in from 4 yards out a play after converting a fourth down.
