  • The Mean Green loss extends UAB’s all-time series advantage to 5-1, with the Mean Green’s lone win in the series coming at Apogee Stadium on Sept. 23, 2017. The teams’ game last season was canceled due to COVID-19 issues.
  • The loss puts head coach Seth Littrell at 32-33 in his Mean Green tenure, and he is in sixth place on the program’s all-time wins list – behind fifth-place Hayden Fry (40). He falls to 1-3 in his career against UAB.
  • The Mean Green loss puts the program record at 22-11 in Apogee Stadium under head coach Seth Littrell. The Mean Green are 1-1 at home this season. One of Littrell’s 22 wins at Apogee was technically a road game when UTEP traveled to Denton last season for a Miner home game due to COVID-19 restrictions in El Paso.
  • The last time a North Texas team was shut out for a half was the first half of a game at Rice on Nov. 23, 2019 – a game UNT went on to lose 20-14.
  • Sophomore QB Jace Ruder (Norton, Kansas), who transferred from North Carolina, made his third collegiate start and finished the day 6-for-13 for 34 yards and a touchdown.
  • Sophomore QB Austin Aune (Argyle, Texas) entered the game on the Mean Green’s third drive of the game, which began with 7:35 to play in the first quarter. He played the remainder of the first half and finished 8-for-21 for 65 yards.
  • Senior RB DeAndre Torrey (Gautier, Mississippi) had 82 rushing yards on 24 carries and a two catches for 4 yards along with 22 kickoff return yards to give him 108 all-purpose yards.
    • Torrey’s 108 all-purpose yards on the day moved him past Johnny Quinn (2003-06) into fifth on the program’s all-time list for career all-purpose yards. Torrey now has 3,839 in his career.
    • Torrey’s 82 rushing yards put him at 2,410, just seven yards shy of sixth all-time on the career rushing list (Kevin Galbreath, 2001-02, who had 2,417 yards).
  • Freshman RB Ikaika Ragsdale (Las Vegas, Nevada) had six carries for 25 yards.
    • Ragsdale had a 12-yard run to set a new career high for longest run.
  • Freshman WR Detraveon Brown (Shreveport, Louisiana) finished the day with one catch for 3 yards and a touchdown.

  • Sophomore WR Deonte Simpson (Beaumont, Texas) caught one ball for 18 yards.
    • His 18-yard grab was his first of the season in his first game action of the season. He had his helmet knocked off and ran for what was seemingly a touchdown without it but the ball was blown dead after the 18-yard gain because his helmet was knocked off.

    • Lyles’ 3-yard reception late in the game was the first of his collegiate career.
