Lafayette, LA - North Texas and UL Lafayette match up in what prove to be a tough match up, with the Mean Green having to come from behind in the fourth quarter to get the victory. North Texas started the scoring, by putting the first 10 points on the board, including a 16 yard pass from Matt Joseph to WR Todd Crowder. The Ragin' Cajuns were able to get on the score board just prior to the half on a 8 yard strike from QB Palmer to D. Sims. Late in the third quarter Palmer hits DeLuca from 12 yards out, to put Lafayette up 14 to 10. The fourth quarter was all North Texas, with Micah Thornton scoring from the goal-line and on a huge 51 yard pass from Joseph.
Matt Joseph had a huge game through the air, with 411 yards of passing on two TDs and two INTs. There will be plenty of days like this ahead for this 'Redshirt' Freshman.

WR Todd Crowder going in for second quarter TD.
