Current football squad draws similarities to former bowl teams

Major Division-I college football powers like the University of Alabama and Louisiana State University football sustain decades of success and bowl game appearances, but the UNT football team hasn’t reached that level yet.

For the first time in nine years, the team is projected to go to a bowl game with hopes of winning one for the second time in school history.

The last UNT bowl-winning team comes from 2002, where the Mean Green came out victorious at the New Orleans Bowl. The bowl win came in the midst of four consecutive Sun Belt Conference titles and four New Orleans Bowl appearances.

Those teams provide many similarities to this year’s squad, with each bringing its own specialties to the gridiron to be successful.

“Both teams have provided all of us with so many good memories. It is eerie how much these teams are alike and yet they are still so different,” Athletic Director Rick Villarreal said. “I’ll say one thing – it is impossible to favor one of these teams over the other.”

If UNT (7-3, 5-1) wins its final two games, it will be the first UNT team with only three losses in a season since 1969.

Mmm...no. 1977 and 1978 we went 9-2. Also, it seems like there was a forfeit by Miss St or someone that put our final record at 10-1 during one of these two seasons? Am I wrong on that?
