The last - and only - time North Texas has played a football game in the state of North Carolina was indeed against East Carolina in 1979. North Texas was coached by Jerry Moore and East Carolina was in the last year of the Pat Dye regime.

For those of you who were around back then, was this 1979 team a huge disappointment? I mean, Jerry Moore taking over for Hayden Fry after winning 9 games the previous year must have really seemed like a huge drop-off...

Yes, it was a huge disappointment. I have many friends who had graduated from "Easy U" and told them they were in for a beating. What a shock this was! Especially since they were transitioning from the equivalent of I AA to IA . They were an independent at that time and had just left the Southern Conference.

Other than the lack of home games, this would kind of be a fun schedule in 2019 if UTA had a fball team.
