by (AP) – North Texas has accepted an invitation to play in the Heart of Dallas Bowl against Army.
The Mean Green improved from one win last season to 5-7 this season under first-year head coach Seth Littrell.
Quarterback Mason Fine (Cherokee Nation) has completed 59.4 percent (155 of 261) of his passes this season for 1,572 yards and six touchdowns.
Since there weren’t enough bowl-eligible teams to fill all the spots, North Texas was one of the teams allowed to advance to a bowl based on Academic Progress Rate scores.
Army is 6-5 with its annual regular-season finale against Navy left to play next Saturday.
North Texas and Army have already played once this season. The Mean Green won 35-18 on Oct. 22 at West Point.
The Heart of Dallas Bowl, played in the historic Cotton Bowl Stadium, is on Dec. 27.
