North Texas-FAU recap: Mean Green survive injury scare, expel late-game demons

DENTON -- You could have heard a pin drop at Apogee Stadium when North Texas’ most beloved son, quarterback Mason Fine, went down in a motionless heap.

Fine just set the UNT record for career passing yards a week ago. Earlier in the game, he surpassed the all-time total yardage record. But after getting blasted from both directions by FAU defenders thanks to a pair of whiffed blocks, it became painfully clear just how fragile a football season can be.
