North Texas appeared dead in the water when it came to its bowl hopes just a few weeks ago.

The Mean Green had lost six straight games after falling to Liberty back on Oct. 23. UNT was 1-6 at that point and faced a tough set of circumstances.

The Mean Green needed to win five straight games to become bowl eligible at 6-6. UNT hadn't won five in a row since 2017. 

The odds didn't look good.

I don't know how you leave out the improved run blocking by the O-line.  We really tried to run the ball against UAB, but just couldn't.  By last Saturday, it was an entirely different story.

The shift to a run-based offense

“We’ve taken it upon ourselves as an offensive line to power our offense. We want to be the most physical team on the field at all times.”

I saw that...but as I mentioned above, they tried to run, but were unsuccessful.  The main factor in their improved ability to run the ball is the improved run blocking from the O-line.  Your comment focuses on playcalling.
