North Texas (0-0) vs Northwestern State (0-0) Game Preview
Why Northwestern State Will Win
It was a tough 2021 spring FCS run for the Demons, going 1-5 without a lick of luck. However, they beat a ranked Incarnate Word team, and the five losses were all in close fights including a 24-16 defeat to eventual national champion Sam Houston State.

The Northwestern State defense allowed 473 yards per game, and it’ll give up at least that many to the Mean Green attack.
