Head coach Jay Sawvel set the narrative for the Cowboys’ road matchup against the North Texas Mean Green in his weekly Monday presser: it was going to be a battle between one of the worst offenses in the nation against one of the worst defenses in the nation to see who would come out on top of the Cowboys’ final non-conference game of the season. The Mean Green had the 126th of 133 ranked defense heading into the contest, compared to the Cowboys’ 132nd ranked offense.
One team didn’t meet that narrative, and it certainly wasn’t the Cowboy offense.
