DENTON, Texas (AP) - Tyrell Fenroy rushed for 102 yards and scored his third touchdown on a 1-yard run with 1:10 remaining as Louisiana-Lafayette defeated North Texas 31-28 Saturday night.

Quarterback Jerry Babb had a career-high 133 yards and a touchdown to lead Louisiana-Lafayette's rushing offense, which entered the game ranked 10th nationally and finished with 327 yards. Babb had 109 passing yards.

North Texas running back Patrick Cobbs had a season-high 197 yards and three second-half touchdowns.

Fenroy had the key play on the drive that ended with his touchdown, catching a 19-yard pass on third-and-9 that put Louisiana-Lafayette (4-5, 3-2 Sun Belt) at the North Texas 32-yard line. The 88-yard march lasted 8:46.

On the ensuing kickoff, Jonathon Vance sealed the win for the Ragin' Cajuns by recovering a Johnny Quinn fumble.

Louisiana-Lafayette's Sean Comiskey broke a 21-21 tie with a 22-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter, but Cobbs gave North Texas (2-6, 2-2) its first lead at 28-24 on a 9-yard run with 9:44 remaining.

Cobbs had erased a 21-7 Louisiana-Lafayette lead with a 59-yard touchdown on the second play of the second half and an 8-yard scoring run midway through the third quarter.

North Texas' first-half futility continued as the Ragin' Cajuns built leads of 7-0 after the first quarter and 21-7 at halftime. The Mean Green have been outscored 48-2 in the first quarter and 150-21 in the first half this season.

Louisiana-Lafayette scored on its opening possession for the second consecutive game and the fourth time in its last five on Fenroy's 6-yard run. Babb added a 4-yard scoring run early in the second quarter on a drive given new life by a UNT penalty when the Ragin' Cajuns were punting.

North Texas scored its first touchdown in the first half this season on a 27-yard pass from Daniel Meager to Quinn that brought North Texas within 14-7 with 6:56 left.

Louisiana-Lafayette answered with Fenroy's 7-yard scoring run 1:22 before halftime.

North Texas running back Jamario Thomas left the game at halftime with a strained hamstring and did not return. He is expected to play next week at Florida Atlantic.

      If Tech steals Eric; should we give Dave Aranda a shot?

      Just saw a video on my Facebook feed on the history of Cam Ward and the trememdous impact Coach Morris has had on the kid. Right now he is a heisman candidate.I believe Coach has proven he can definitely spot and develop qb talent. This is his proven reputation and should attract additional qb talent to UNT which is a must for us because of the NIL. Let him be known as the new qb guru. This is why I wanted hired.With success on the field he is 2-3 years more before leaving. Someone could offer him a ton of money to OC sooner but I think it would have to be a head coaching job.

      UAB's Big Screw Up

      Dinner is lost and it send like he has given up. Unfortunately, he has a $3.6 million dollar buyout. So he'll probably be there until next year at least.

      I definitely agree with that. We start getting our share from the AAC next season, albeit only 50% I believe. So, I’m excited for the new revenue stream and what we can do with that.

      And still lost. Glad he got his first TD in week 5. Next.

      The Answer is Marketing....

      Milestone Electric had $80 million in revenue in 2020 and $150 million in 2022. This per The Successful Contractor podcast which the owner was on in 2020 and 2022. To the original topic, winning cures all for sure. Something I wonder is if recent college graduates are working more on the weekends than previous generations. Either way, we need consistent high-level winning. My kids know UNT. I'm sure everybody else here has raised their kids around UNT. How many alumni were raised as fans of traditional power programs and will raise their kids as such despite going to UNT themselves? Have a few 10+ win seasons and maybe lifelong fans will be made of our current students. One things for sure, you can't have 1 bowl win in 20 years and zero 10+ win seasons in your history and expect people to care. The program needs better results on a consistent basis.
