The North Texas Mean Green, with a record of 1-5, faced off against the Marshall Thundering Herd, standing at 4-3, in a game that ended 21-49. The Mean Green struggled to match the offensive output of their opponents throughout the contest.

At Apogee Stadium, home to the North Texas Mean Green, a crowd of 13,123 fans witnessed an intense battle on the gridiron. Despite their efforts and a strong rushing performance that yielded three touchdowns and an impressive average gain of over five yards per play, the Mean Green were unable to secure victory. The team's ground game was particularly notable as they amassed 277 rushing yards with one remarkable touchdown sprint covering 75 yards.

The passing game for North Texas was less effective compared to their running attack. Quarterbacks were under pressure resulting in two sacks and two interceptions from a total of 32 attempts. They managed only four first downs through air while completing just over half of their passes for an average gain per attempt under four yards.

On defense, North Texas secured one interception and forced one fumble which they recovered but it wasn't enough to slow down Marshall's scoring drives. Penalties proved costly for the home team as well; they incurred seventeen penalties totaling an imposing 161 penalty yards.

Special teams had mixed results; while punting was solid with an average net yardage close to fifty per punt including one inside the twenty-yard line and another being the longest at sixty-four yards, there were no blocked punts or returns for touchdowns that could have swung momentum in favor of North Texas.
