WEST POINT, N.Y. — North Texas coach Seth Littrell seemed a little worn out at the end of the game, and it was understandable. The Mean Green had beaten Army for the first time in five tries and he had repeatedly jumped and spun around on the sidelines amidst a flurry of turnovers by the Black Knights. Facing the second-rated defense in the nation, Jeffrey Wilson rushed for 160 yards and three touchdowns and North Texas beat Army 35-18 on a wet, raw Saturday at Michie Stadium. "We ended up getting seven turnovers, and that's key," Littrell said. "Defensive guys did a great job of making those opportunities count. I was a bonehead in the first half, to be honest. We should have run the ball more." Fresh from a bye week, North Texas (4-3) rallied in the second half behind Wilson, who was coming off a career-high 188-yard performance two weeks ago against Marshall. Wilson scored on a 41-yard run and 1-yard plunge in the third quarter as the Mean Green stunned the Black Knights. "Without a doubt, there's no other answer, simply our O-line," Wilson said. "They came out today with fire in their eyes and I could see if from the jump. We knew we wasn't going to start off fast, but we know that if we keep on picking away and picking away and picking away that we'll eventually do what we came to do. And that's exactly what happened." read more: http://www.stripes.com/sports/north-texas-beats-army-35-18-1.435424
