TULSA, Okla. - North Texas (8-4, 6-2) spoiled Tulsa's Senior Day with a 42-10 victory in front of 17,792 fans at H.A. Chapman Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Tulsa finished the season with a 3-9 mark and 2-6 in C-USA play. The win for the Mean Green snapped 10-game Golden Hurricane winning streak in the series.

North Texas' offense put up 550 total yards, including 377 rush yards and 173 receiving yards as Brandin Byrd ran for a team-high 251 yards. The Mean Green defense shut down the Hurricane offense for most of the day, holding the Hurricane to nine 3-and-out possessions and a season-low 236 total yards.

Tulsa's Trey Watts went over the 100-yard barrier for the eighth time this year and the fifth consecutive game with 114 yards. He finished the season with 1,329 yards to rank fourth on the school's single-season rushing chart

The Mean Green took control of the game in the final five minutes of the first half by scoring 14 consecutive points to take a 21-10 lead into intermission, and went on to duplicate their first-half scoring with 21 second-half points.

North Texas increased its halftime lead on its first play of the second half when Byrd raced 91 yards for the touchdown at the 11:25 mark, giving North Texas a 28-10 lead. Byrd added his third touchdown of the game on a 2-yard run with 3:25 left on the third period clock for a 35-10 lead.
