Frisco Bowl What Happened

– In a much tougher fight than originally expected, Boise State ran for 318 yards, needing all of them in the back-and-forth fight before finally pulling away late. North Texas was up 24-21 late in the third, but Boise State took the ensuing drive 75 yards with Taylen Green finishing with a 19-yard touchdown run to take the lead for good. North Texas pulled to within three late, but it got stuck deep in its own end on its final drives and stalled on the last gasp chance.

– North Texas couldn’t hold up against the Boise State running game, but the offense worked. Ikaika Ragsdale ran for two scores and Austin Aune threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Jyaire Shorter.

– North Texas turned it over twice, Boise State didn’t lose the ball. That was just enough to help swing the game with both able to move the chains. North Texas converted half of its third down tries, but it couldn’t handle the Boise State offense in the third quarter on.

Frisco Bowl Player of the Game

Taylen Green, QB Boise State
As part of the ground game that averaged over six yards per pop, Green ran 12 times for 119 yards and two scores – averaging 9.9 yards per carry – and completed 13-of-22 passes for 137 yards and a score.

Frisco Bowl What It All Means

Boise State should’ve had an easier time – the running game worked like it was supposed to – but after losing the Mountain West Championship at home to Fresno State, coming away with the win for a ten-victory season mattered. It was the first double-digit win campaign since 2019 and the program’s first bowl win since the 2017 Las Vegas.

North Texas didn’t have a run defense, its head coach got fired, and it came into this without a strong win on the resumé. Interim head coach Phil Bennett had his team ready and intense, the offense worked against the strong Boise State defense, and it was a great overall performance considering the situation.

However, the program is off to the American Athletic Conference going four straight seasons without a winning record – it finished 7-7 – and it’s now 0-6 in its last six bowl tries since winning the Heart of Dallas back in 2013.

Boise State vs North Texas Frisco Bowl 5 Things To Know

Frisco Bowl Prediction, What’s Going To Happen, History

– Boise State probably deserved a bigger spotlight – not to bowl shame – but the Mountain West tie-ins weren’t anything amazing. It might have missed out on the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl with the Mountain West Championship loss to Fresno State, but there’s a shot at the first ten-win season since 2019 – that’s a long drought for this program.

After a midseason change of quarterbacks and offensive coordinators, the running game became dominant, the defense was among the best in the nation, and this is a chance to show off in the late night game at the end of a LONG day of football.

– North Texas also lost its conference championship game – dropping the Conference USA title to UTSA 48-27 – but even with a relatively successful year and a bowl appearance, the program sacked head coach Seth Littrell. Veteran head man Phil Bennett will take over for this, and then Washington State receivers coach Eric Morris will step in. Part of the problem for Littrell was …

– North Texas has been awful in bowl games. It lost its last five and seven of eight since 2002. Not only have the Mean Green lost in the recent post-season, they got trucked in four straight blowouts. The program is just 2-10 all-time in bowls starting with a loss to Nevada in your 1947 Salad Bowl. But …

– Boise State hasn’t exactly been a killer in this things lately. The first bowl appearance was in 1999 under head coach and now offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter. After winning four straight and getting out to an 11-5 bowl start up until 2016, the Broncos have lost two of their last three, weren’t able to play in the 2018 First Responder, and last year got hosed when UCLA had to back out of the Holiday at the last second. This is the team’s first bowl game since 2019. They haven’t won one since 2017.

– The Frisco Bowl has been a tad rocky so far, to be nice about it. This is the fifth time the game has been played with the 2020 version canceled, and the other four … they weren’t anything great. Kent State’s 51-41 win over Utah State in 2019 was a fun shootout, but that’s as close a game as there out of the four.

CFN Bowl Expert Picks: Dec 16-19 | Dec 20-27

Why Boise State Will Win The Frisco Bowl

Defense. Yeah … North Texas doesn’t really do that.

It’s 124th in the nation in total D, it has a hard time getting off the field, and worst of all in this, it struggles against the run. There isn’t enough pressure delivered into the backfield to generate enough big plays.

It played one Mountain West team this year, and got run over by UNLV for 365 yards in a 58-27 loss.

Boise State picked up the running game with 316 yards in a late September win over San Diego State, ran for 316 more yards in the win over Fresno State the following week, and everything kept on rolling from there. On the year the team is 7-0 when running for 148 yards or more.

North Texas allows 188 rushing yards per game. However …

Why North Texas Will Win The Frisco Bowl

North Texas has enough of an offense to be a problem for the Broncos.

The run defense isn’t going to slow down George Holani and company from getting their yards, but the Mean Green ground game needs to rip off big runs of their own.

They have a veteran in quarterback Austin Aune who can keep things moving with his midrange passes, but it needs to be the rotation of several good young running backs that has to keep grinding. Boise State doesn’t allow a slew of big, gashing runs, but it’s just 3-3 this season when giving up 150 yards or more.

North Texas hit that mark in every game but three, and lost all of them. In the other ten games it’s 7-3 when it’s able to control things a bit.

Boise State has had its breakdowns at times, and it suffered a power outage in the Mountain West Championship with just 321 yards of total offense. The team is 1-4 when failing to get to 325 yards, but …

Venue: Alamodome, San Antonio, TX
How To Watch: CBS Sports Network

Why North Texas Will Win

The Mean Green came close the first time around.

They went to UTSA, got the passing game going, and had their chances in the 31-27 loss. As long as they can keep bombing away, they’ll have a shot.

Consistency has been a bit of an issue, but no one in Conference USA gets more big plays out of the passing game partly because no on in the conference is better in pass protection. Giving QB Austin Aune time to work won’t be a problem – UTSA doesn’t have much of a pass rush to worry about.

Aune struggled with his accuracy, but he threw for 325 yards and three scores in the first meeting. He’ll come up with close to 300 yards in this to keep up the pressure.

However …

– Bowl Projections | Bowl Bubble: Who’s Bowl Eligible?

Why UTSA Will Win

North Texas might have been strong the first time around, but UTSA did win.

Frank Harris threw a pick, but the offense was well balanced, there weren’t any big problems moving the chains, and it should all work again against a North Texas defense that allows over 450 yards per game.

On a nine-game winning streak, the defending Conference USA champion has the consistency North Texas doesn’t. It has the ability to run or 250 yards, bomb away when needed, and keep things moving against a defense that’s awful at coming up with third down stops.

The Mean Green are 5-0 when allowing fewer than 150 rushing yards and 2-5 when giving up more. UTEP is 7-0 when hitting the 150 mark.

– Championship Week Schedule, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

North Texas isn’t going to make this easy.

Just when it seems like UTSA has things under control, the Mean Green big plays will connect to keep the pressure on.

The UTSA offense will be steady throughout, it’ll control the clock late, and the program will make it two Conference USA championships in a row in a fun back-and-forth shootout.

Rice vs North Texas What’s Going To Happen

Can Rice get that sixth win to get bowl eligible? Can North Texas come up with a seventh win to cement a post-season spot?

Rice picked the wrong time for the offense to hit a wall – 17 points over the last two games against WKU and UTSA – with turnovers the biggest problem. The O has given it up nine times in the last two weeks and 18 times in the last six games.

The North Texas defense hasn’t been too bad lately, but it’s going to get hit hard by the Rice passing game. It won’t be enough.

The Mean Green offense will get the ground game going right away for over 200 yards to set the tone. The Rice attack will keep up, but once again the mistakes will be costly.

North Texas is 0-5 when allowing teams to score 31 points or more and 6-0 when it doesn’t. The Rice offense, though, has only scored ore than 27 once on the road in five tries.

North Texas vs UAB Game Preview

Why North Texas Will Win

Can North Texas really play for the Conference USA championship? It’s on the doorstep of doing that after coming up with two straight great performances in wins over WKU and FIU.

The passing game has gone off. Austin Aune has been unstoppable, the running game is averaging over five yards per carry on the year, and UAB has to prove it can keep up.

All of a sudden, the Blazers have stalled with three straight losses, but …

– 10 Best Picks Against The Spread

Why UAB Will Win

This might be fixable.

It’s going to take a big pivot to get back in the mix for a bowl game, but it can start with the running game that’s been rolling over everyone. D

DeWayne McBride – the nation’s leading rusher – continues to hammer away for a ground game that’s going to blow past 200 yards, and last week the passing attack showed it could hold up its end of the bargain with Jacob Zeno throwing for 332 yards.

UAB has to keep up in the pace in the shootout, but …

– Schedules, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Can UAB’s defense hold up? It’s not coming up with enough key stops, the offense isn’t able to control game like it should, and the secondary isn’t holding up in the red zone likes it needs to.

The North Texas offense will be great, but UAB is a totally different animal at home.

North Texas vs WKU Game Preview

Why North Texas Will Win

The running game fun might have chilled out for a game but it’s about to come back strong.

The Mean Green were rolling with 775 rushing yards over a two game stretch before stalling in last week’s 31-27 loss to UTSA. Now it’s about to hit the 200-yard mark again against a WKU defense that’s fine, but had problems in the win over UAB and the loss to USTA.

It’s this simple for North Texas, though – can it slow down the Hilltopper passing game? The D isn’t special, but it can generate a pass rush and hold on  for a few drives while the offense takes over.

For all of the fun with the WKU attack, it’s not great on third downs and doesn’t push the ball down the field enough to matter.

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 8

Why WKU Will Win

The Hilltoppers aren’t bad against the run overall.

The goal is to get that passing game going early to force North Texas to start throwing and get it out of its gameplan. It can do that with a few good early drives.

To be fair, WKU leads Conference USA against the run because everyone throws against this D – and because few on the slate so far can grind – but North Texas doesn’t power up like UAB and UTSA do. It’s more about getting playmakers in space, and WKU can slow that down.

Keep the Mean Green from ripping off yards in chunks, come up with a few takeaways, and …

– Game Previews, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

These two teams have plays a whole slew of fun games this year, and this should be another one.

North Texas, though, is is 3-1 at home, 1-3 on the road, and that one win away from Denton came in the opener against UTEP.

WKU showed last week it can win even when it gets gouged by a good ground game, but it took four takeaways against UAB to get that done.

The D won’t get that many, but it’ll come up with two to help out the offense that will control things with the quick passing attack.

Louisiana Tech vs North Texas Game Preview

Why Louisiana Tech Will Win

The Bulldogs desperately needed a win to get the season going, and it came through with a 41-31 shootout against a decent UTEP defense.

The offense was fine, but the four takeaways played the biggest role. North Texas is having a turnover problem with 12 on the year and seven over the last three games.

The Mean Green offense is struggling on third downs, it’s forcing too many throws leading to picks, and the run defense can be plowed on. However …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why North Texas Will Win

Louisiana Tech doesn’t run well enough to matter.

It had one big explosion in the win over Stephen F Austin, but that’s been it. It’ll try running on the soft Mean Green defensive front, but it needs to throw to win.

The passing yards will be there, but getting into a shootout with North Texas is a problem. The Mean Green ran on Florida Atlantic for 300 yards, threw for close to 700 yards in the previous two games, and they’ll find a way to get everything going.

As long as the running game works – and it should be able to on the Bulldog front – they’ll control this.

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Both offenses will have some fun.

Louisiana Tech will wing it around for close to 300 yards, but North Texas will be a bit more balanced. When it runs well, it does better – it doesn’t want to make this about who can be more effective through the air.

Both teams will turn the ball over a few times, but at home the North Texas offense will be more effective and consistent.

Florida Atlantic vs North Texas Game Preview

Why Florida Atlantic Will Win

The offense is more than capable of keeping up the pace.

North Texas has been doing a great job with the passing game, and Florida Atlantic should be able to bring the balance to do what it must.

The Mean Green couldn’t handle the UNLV running game, it had problems with just about everyone else through the air – UNLV was hitting passes at ease, too – and now it’s up to QB N’Kosi Perry to find a groove early.

The offensive line is doing a good job of keeping defenses out of the backfield, the defenses forced five takeaways in the last two games, and …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 4

Why North Texas Will Win

The Owls are struggling defensively.

They did a nice job in the close call 28-26 fight at Purdue, but that came after getting destroyed by UCF. Ohio was able to throw at will, the run defense has been spotty, and North Texas should be able to take advantage of it all.

Yes, Perry is playing well enough to keep up, but he hasn’t been consistent enough, and he’s not pushing the ball down the field like North Texas can.

Mean Green QB Austin Aune is averaging over eight yards per pass, he threw for 676 yards and five scores over the last two games, but …

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Can North Texas overcome the turnovers that are coming?

Florida Atlantic should make this a shootout, but the pass defense that’s been struggling will give up over 300 yards, being at home will matter, and this will be a fun game with the Mean Green big plays taking over late.

Memphis vs North Texas Game Preview

Why North Texas Will Win

The defense might have failed against UNLV, but the offense keeps on going with Austin Aune and the passing game throwing well …

Usually.

The defense is an issue – more about that in a moment – but the offense is great at generating first downs, the points are there, and it’s going to make Memphis keep bombing away to keep up.

The Tigers are a disaster defensively on third downs and they’re getting hammered through the air – and that includes a game against Navy among the three so far – partly because there’s no pass rush for the Mean Green to worry about.

However …

– CFN Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Memphis Will Win

North Texas isn’t exactly a defensive rock, either.

It’s allowing over 500 yards per game, the run defense is getting shoved around, and the secondary is allowing close to 300 yards per game.

Seth Henigan and the Tiger offense have gone for close to 800 passing yards and five touchdowns over the last two weeks, and as long as he gets time to work, he’ll go off on the North Texas secondary.

Memphis will put up yards, and …

– 10 Best Predictions Against the Spread

What’s Going To Happen

Turnovers are going to matter.

Memphis might have to push its offense a bit, but it only has one turnover so far, no interceptions, and North Texas has given it away seven times in four games.

The Tigers will be +2 in turnover margin, and they’re not going to need to be with over 500 yards of total offense consistently cranking up the Mean Green D.
