UNT seeks solid finish at home

North Texas will look to finish a disappointing home season with a flourish today when it takes on Western Kentucky.

UNT will honor 17 seniors before the game, including the last of the players who participated in the fourth of the Mean Green's four straight New Orleans Bowls from 2001-04.

UNT's only win this season came against Louisiana-Monroe at Fouts.

"It's real important to go out on top at home," senior wide receiver Brandon Jackson said. "This is our last time to play at home in front of our fans."

Sending the seniors out with a win could be a challenge. WKU has been impressive in the first of its two transition seasons that will take it from the NCAA's Championship Subdivision to the Bowl Subdivision as a member of the Sun Belt Conference.

WKU beat Sun Belt member Middle Tennessee earlier this year and also kept the score close with league leader Troy before falling, 21-17.

UNT quarterback Giovanni Vizza is averaging 241.6 passing yards a game, and wide receiver Casey Fitzgerald leads the team with 118.4 receiving yards per game.

North Texas wins if ...

UNT taps into the emotion surrounding the final home game of the season and continues to improve defensively .

Western Kentucky wins if ...

The Hilltoppers keep their offense rolling and outscore a UNT offense that has been consistently productive.

Prediction

UNT 35, WKU 32
