RECAP | LA Tech (2-4, 1-1) fell 47-27 on the road at North Texas (4-3, 2-0) on Saturday afternoon.

The Mean Green jumped out to an early 21-3 lead after a 92-yard TD run by Ayo Adeyi early in the second quarter.

Parker McNeil would connect with Tahj Magee on a 34-yard strike with 10:10 remaining until halftime to trim the lead to 21-10.

After another North Texas touchdown would make it 27-10, Greg Garner would score from 1-yard out to make it 27-17 at intermission.

After an early stop by the Tech defense to open the second half, the offense had the ball at the UNT 1-yard line on 4th & goal.

After a false start by Isaac Ellis, Tech was forced to kick a field goal to cut the lead to 7 at 27-20.

Trailing 34-20, McNeil connected with Tre Harris on a 58-yard touchdown on 4th and 3 to get the 'Dogs back within 7 for the 2nd time in the second half.
