North Texas snatches victory from the jaws of defeat, beats UTSA 29-26

Everyone’s gonna be talking about that final TD pass.

This is to take nothing away from the other 59:43 of the game, which was as outstanding a C-USA game-- no, outstanding a college football game— as you’re likely to see this year.

On the opening drive, North Texas marched the ball down the field, putting them up 7-0 early against a stingy UTSA defense that just doesn’t allow that sort of thing. Right away, we knew we had a game, as UTSA’s first drive ended in a punt, and before you knew it, UNT was up 13-0 with a botched extra point.
