UNT faces former UTSA foe in '21 opener

[meangreen11]

The Northwestern State starting QB is Bryce Rivers who North Texas played against back in 2018.

Quote

Rivers served as the primary quarterback at UTSA in the final two games as a sophomore in 2018 … started the finale against North Texas, throwing for 269 yards on 20-of-32 passing with a touchdown and an interception in a 24-21 loss … rushed for a TD against UNT … primary QB vs. Marshall, threw for 158 yards on 16-of-31 … in three appearances, finished with 463 yards on 37-of-64 passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions …  threw a touchdown on his only attempt against FIU … as a freshman, appeared in three contests with his best effort coming against Southern (43 yards on 5-of-8).

Also of note, NWS looks weak based on first glance at their covid limited 2020 schedule but if you look closer they had very few games in total and appeared to play close in every single game they played.  This could be tougher than we think.

Their defense got shredded constantly, like us, the past 2 years. I really don't think it'll be close

We will make it close.

BEWARE OF THOSE NW STATE DEMONS! 👹
(I will be wearing  a green crucifix & a homemade necklace of green-dyed garlic on September 4, 2021).

🦅Anyone remember when those  Northwestern🟪State🟨Demons visited TCU & beat the Gary Patterson-coached Horned Frogs?  I thought Patterson would not escape an old fashioned tar & feathering that weekend.  

🦅 Remember when those Demons last visited Fouts Field & came away with a late 4’th quarter win over our favorite school’s football team?  

🦅•••I could not find videos on either game.  Maybe you can?  
🦅••• NW State has a good college marching band program.  Hope they come to UNT Band Day on 9-4-21!
🦅••• NW State has  a superb (older) stadium on their Natchitoches, Louisiana, campus. 
📽🎞The hit movie “Steele Magnolias” was filmed throughout Natchitoches & with an all star cast.

Speaking of that school mentioned in the subject line:  

This blowout of UTSA by UNT was still only 2 years ago.  I think the series record is 5 & 5.

@PlummMeanGreen our UTSA series is tied 4-4.  UNT has won 3 of last 4.

Thanks for the clarification, greenminer.

Have they ever beaten us at Apogee?

They took us out of the CUSA championship in that miserably cold and rainy game under McCarney

Man, if that plays out to be true I’ll be really worried about the rest of the season.

I can’t recall NW State ever being an easy game even when were in the same conference.😬
