Despite having their defense shredded in the first quarter to a tune of 20-7, the Cats came back and held off North Texas to win 49-41.

This gives them a 7-win season and a probable bowl game.  Now we wait to see where that will be.  The latest rumors are the Pinstripe Bowl – played in the new Yankee Stadium.

Interesting stats:  Daniel Thomas finished the game with 36 carries for 269 yards (7.5 yard average).  There were back-to-back kickoff returns for touchdowns.  This was the last game to be played in the North Texas Fouts Field; 59 years of history completed tonight.  The first person to score a touchdown on the field 59 years ago walked across the goal-line again tonight with a ball – very cool.

Let’s go, Cats.
