North Texas 13, Florida International 10

Oct. 15, 2005

MIAMI (AP) - Daniel Meager found Johnny Quinn on a 7-yard scoring pass to give North Texas the lead, and Florida International missed a late field goal in the Mean Green's 13-10 win on Saturday night.

FIU (1-4, 0-2 Sun Belt) had a chance to tie the game, but kicker Adam Moss missed a 42-yard field goal wide left with 1:12 remaining to seal the win for North Texas (2-3, 1-1).

Meager, who just passed for just 79 yards on 10-of-15 passing, hit Quinn on a short slant pattern to cap a three-play, 23-yard drive with 1:59 left in the third quarter. A Golden Panthers fumble by Josh Padrick that was recovered by Mean Green nose tackle Maurice Holman helped set up the drive.

FIU set school single game records for most turnovers with eight and fumbles lost with six.

Patrick Cobbs rushed for 112 yards on 27 carries for North Texas.

Julian Reams rushed for 78 yards on 15 carries for FIU. Reams replaced starter Ben West, who was suspended for violating team policy.

Padrick threw two interceptions, was 20-of-32 for 243 yards, and threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Samuel Smith in the first quarter. Smith had eight receptions for 98 yards.

Moss hit a 25-yard field goal for FIU, and North Texas kicker Nick Bazaldua made two, from 20 and 41 yards out.

I forgot, not only did we squeek by the youngest program in the U.S. tonight, but did it while their top RB was on the bench. Ben West was averaging over 5 yards per carry going into tonight.

If FI can't win with Samuel Smith, brewer of some of the finest ales, they're doomed.
