UNT Game Preview Presented by Discover Denton: UTSA

The 5-1 Mean Green are back home this week in the Denton Desert, welcoming a familiar foe — the UTSA Roadrunners — for what promises to be another spirited rivalry matchup. This one carries extra weight, too: it’s Homecoming in Denton.

These two programs know each other well. They’ve met every season since 2013, and it’s become a true rivalry in every sense. Records tend to go out the window when these two line up. In their first-ever meeting in 2013, UTSA stunned what was arguably the best UNT team of the century, 21–13. Fast forward to 2021, and North Texas returned the favor, upsetting an undefeated, nationally ranked UTSA squad 45–23 on a rainy day in Denton — a win that ultimately bought Seth Littrell another year as head coach.
