NT last in US on offense # 119, LaTech last in US on defense # 119 meet to determine which is the worst team in US

Line: North Texas by 2

What's on the line

UNT – The Mean Green is trying to win its second game in the last seven and pick up its second nonconference victory.

Tech – A victory would give Tech momentum heading into four key WAC games to end the regular season.

Who's hot

UNT – WR Johnny Quinn caught eight passes for 108 yards last week in a loss to Troy.

TECH – Freshman RB William Griffin scored the first TD of his career at Tech on a 1-yard run last week in a loss to San Jose State.

Who's not

UNT – RB Jamario Thomas managed just 23 yards on 18 carries last week in a loss to Troy.

Tech – The Bulldogs' defense allowed 476 rushing yards in a loss to San Jose State last week.

Stat that tells the story

UNT is ranked 119th nationally in total offense (206.1 ypg). Tech ranks 119th in total defense of (463.9 ypg).

Key matchup

UNT RB Jamario Thomas vs. Tech LB Quin Harris: After three 100-yard games in four outings, Thomas struggled in a loss to Troy. UNT will need Thomas to have a better night against Tech and Harris, who leads the team with 63 tackles.

UNT wins if:

Thomas and QB Daniel Meager get a stagnant offense on track.

Tech wins if:

QB Zac Champion takes advantage of UNT's inexperienced secondary.

Stat that tells the story

I wonder where San Jose State ranks in total offense for the year? Aren't they coached by the former Offensive Coordinator (former OU QB) for Oklahoma last year?
