In our Conference USA Preseason Position Reviews for quarterback I ranked North Texas 9th. I mentioned that with another year in the system, Mason Fine could elevate North Texas into the “Good Shape” territory.
This season Mason Fine leads C-USA in passing yards (1796) and touchdowns (14). He also leads C-USA with 299 passing yards per game.
Against UTSA, Mason Fine passed for 354 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. On the game-winning drive with his offensive line falling apart, Fine was 5-of-6 for 98 yards. On the game-winning touchdown pass to Rico Bussey he took a nasty shot, but still managed to hit Rico Bussey Jr.
