DENTON, Texas – Quarterback Chandler Morris was near-perfect and a trio of runners helped pace the Mean Green to more than 200 yards on the ground, while the Mean Green defense capitalized on some schematic changes to shut out Wyoming in the second half en route to a 44-17 win at DATCU Stadium in front of 27,049 people – the fifth largest crowd in the stadium's history.
 
Morris completed 28 of 41 pass attempts for 305 yards and two touchdowns – his third 300-yard passing game in his four games for the Mean Green. His top target was DT Sheffield, who caught eight balls for 109 yards and a touchdown – all in the first half.
 
UNT (3-1) had a 300-yard passer, 100-yard receiver and 100-yard rusher for the first time since last season's finale against UAB, but on Saturday, the most unlikely of the three was definitely the rushing effort.
 
Junior Shane Porter, making his first start at UNT, rushed for a game-high 120 yards on just 13 carries. Redshirt freshman running back Makenzie McGill had three rushing scores on just six carries to become the first freshman to have three rushing touchdowns since Jamario Thomas on Oct. 30, 2004 – on a day the 2004 team was honored on the field 20 years after winning the Sun Belt Championship and New Orleans Bowl.

UNT allowed just 240 total yards and only 65 yards on the ground (2.1 yards per carry).
