Dream Season Ends for Mean Green in American Championship

North Texas’ dream season ended in New Orleans with a 34-21 loss to Tulane in the American Conference championship in Eric Morris’ last game as the head coach of the Mean Green. It was the lowest point output for the offense this season. They’re 11-2 on the season and await a bowl invite.

Mistakes and unfortunate decisions by the officials were too much for the Mean Green to overcome. They turned the ball over five times, allowed five sacks, and were on the wrong side of two calls, one a missed kick-catch interference and the other a fumble through the back of the end zone after an interception. Those two calls alone represented a 14-point swing.
