The Mean Green’s thrilling 30-23 win over the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns is a lot more important than an average Sun Belt Conference win.

Of course, here at the University of North Texas, every conference win means a lot as head football coach Dan McCarney and company attempt to resurrect the football program from the ashes, but this one stands out as especially significant.

It’s important not only because UNT won a conference game on national TV, but also because it did so in such a dramatic fashion.

Sure, the Mean Green was only down 13-6 at the half, but halftime was not the turning point in the game.

After halftime, ULL drove it down the field and scored a touchdown, making it 20-6.

Following that, UNT made a drive of its own but was stopped short of the goal line on fourth down.

That was the turning point.

Instead of becoming deflated, the Mean Green defense bowed up, the offense started clicking and it turned the game on its head as UNT began a torrential comeback, providing the most exciting Mean Green win in recent history.
