USM (1-7, 0-4 Conference USA) heads into the contest looking to snap a six-game losing streak after falling at Middle Tennessee State University, 35-10, last Saturday.

The last time the Golden Eagles lost six consecutive games spanned two seasons, dropping the last three in 2019 and the first three of 2020. The last time USM lost six in a row in one season: 2013.

The Mean Green (2-6, 1-3) grabbed its first conference win last Saturday, going on the road to Houston, Texas, to nab a 30-24 overtime victory at Rice University.

North Texas has a chance to win back-to-back games for the first time this season.
