Sun Belt Game of the Week

Navy 74 ... North Texas 62

In one of the wildest games in college football history, the two teams set a D-I record with 136 points with 1,315 yards of total offense. North Texas QB Giovanni Vizza threw eight touchdown passes including five to Casey Fitzgerald from nine, nine, 24, 29 and 17 yards out and a 75-yarder to Sam Dibrell, but Navy was able to roll up 572 yards of rushing offense to keep up. Down 49-31, Navy scored 27 straight points to take control of the game helped by a 21-yard Reggie Campbell touchdown run and a 66-yard Zerbin Singleton dash, but it wasn't until Reggie Campbell took a kickoff 73 yards for a touchdown did the Midshipmen finally take control. Navy averaged ten yards per carry.

Sun Belt Player of the WeekIn a losing cause against Navy, North Texas QB Giovanni Vizza completed 40 of 50 passes for 478 yards and eight touchdowns with two interceptions, and ran 13 times for 93 yards.

North Texas … UNT has gotten involved in two major shootouts this year, once with SMU and now with Navy, and lost them both because the defense wasn't remotely close to coming through with a clutch stop. Even so, cranking out eight touchdown passes from Gionvanni Vizza shows that the offense is certainly headed in the right direction, and eventually, the defense will catch up enough to start winning. Vizza is definitely one to build around.

Vizza is definitely one to build around.

On the pass to Dibrell I was too busy staring at Vizza having all day to throw and did not notice how Dibrell got by everyone. Was it just a matter of the right route, a good fake or did Dribell just blow by the guy?

Dibrell just blew past the guy. He seems to have some serious speed but it was against Navy's secondary, so who knows.
