On a historic night at Apogee Stadium, North Texas overcame 98 yards, no timeouts, and 67 seconds to beat UTSA and move to 3-0 in CUSA. Let's dissect a little bit of that game-winning drive to see what made it work and where the Mean Green caught a break.

The situation was pretty dire, UTSA pinned the Mean Green inside the two with 1:07 seconds to play. North Texas used their final timeouts to get the ball back, so other than incompletions, first downs and the sideline, the Mean Green had no way to stop the clock.

A little two-minute or less drill philosophy before we start. You can't have a game-winning drive without a completion or play to get the drive started. If you're down by four, as North Texas was, you don't have a four-point play especially one from 98 yards out, so they just have to start the drive, get a completion then lineup and take your next chance. UTSA's defensive philosophy to start was classic boundary defense. Their safeties were deep, the middle of the field was open. Let North Texas dink and dunk and pressure them with four, something UTSA could do whenever they pleased. Keep everything in front and tackle. The clock was UTSA's friend, their second best friend quarterback pressure, and their next best option was funneling North Texas to the middle of the field.

1st and 10, 2-yard line, 1:07 to play.
