FACTS & STATS: Site: Memorial Stadium (52,929) -- Bloomington, Indiana. Television: Big Ten Network. Home Record: UNT 2-1, Indiana 1-0. Away Record: UNT 0-1, Indiana 1-1. Neutral Record: UNT 0-0, Indiana 0-0. Conference Record: UNT 0-1, Indiana 0-0. Series Record: North Texas leads, 1-0.

GAME NOTES: The Indiana Hoosiers will play in their final non-conference game of the season when they host the North Texas Mean Green at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

North Texas, from Conference USA, owns a 2-2 mark as it enters this contest. The Mean Green were idle last weekend following a 77-3 beatdown of FCS foe Nicholls on Sept. 20. UNT's results have all featured rather disparate scores, with losses to Texas (38-7) and Louisiana Tech (42-21), and a win over SMU (43-6).

Indiana, representing the Big Ten Conference, owns a 2-2 record as well. The Hoosiers played their conference opener last weekend and got smoked by league newcomer Maryland, 37-15. The loss was a huge letdown on the heels of their upset win at Missouri the week prior (31-27).

In the only other meeting between these two programs, the Mean Green earned a 24-21 victory at home during the 2011 season.

Obviously, North Texas is not going to replicate its offensive performance against Nicholls anytime soon. The Mean Green pounded out 526 yards and scored 11 touchdowns. On the season, the Mean Green averages 37 points per game, but the club has been rather anemic in terms of yardage gained (313 ypg).

Dajon Williams made his first career start against Nicholls and looked great, although the level of competition certainly helped. He completed 11-of-14 pass attempts for

176 yards and three touchdowns. Williams also showed a ton of speed out of the backfield, as he led the team with 68 yards and two scores on only four carries.

The big debut was a nice start, but now Williams will have to prove that he can be an effective playmaker against teams at the FBS level. He'll get his first chance this weekend.
