Current Records: North Texas 4-3; UTSA 5-2
What to Know
The North Texas Mean Green have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. North Texas and the UTSA Roadrunners will face off in a Conference USA battle at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Alamodome. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous games.
The Mean Green didn’t have too much trouble with the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at home last week as they won 47-27. North Texas’ RB Ayo Adeyi looked sharp as he rushed for one TD and 122 yards on seven carries. That touchdown — a 92-yard rush in the second quarter — was one of the highlights of the game.
Meanwhile, UTSA had enough points to win and then some against the FIU Panthers last Friday, taking their contest 30-10. Among those leading the charge for UTSA was RB Kevorian Barnes, who rushed for two TDs and 128 yards on 20 carries.
North Texas have to know they’ll be fighting an uphill battle given the ten-point spread they are up against. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.
The wins brought the Mean Green up to 4-3 and the Roadrunners to 5-2. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: North Texas ranks sixth in the nation when it comes to rushing yards per game, with 251.3 on average. UTSA has displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they come into the game boasting the seventh most passing yards per game in the nation at 343.6.
