UTSA proved the age-old formula that forcing turnovers is the key to victory. The Roadrunners' defense ripped the ball away from North Texas on four occasions as the Mean Green - who forced seven against Army last weekend - were unable to cause just one.
UNT had been riding high after winning three of their last four, averaging 33.5 points per game. That all changed when they ran into a UTSA team coming off of a brutal fifth overtime loss to UTEP. Despite out-gaining the Roadrunners by 91 yards, UNT seemed to turn the ball over anytime a drive was gaining momentum.
