D HEART OF DALLAS BOWL 19 The University of North Texas The University of North Texas, recommended by The Princeton Review as one of the "Best of the West" and named one of America's 100 Best College Buys for 18 consecutive years, is home to over 36,000 students with 12 colleges and schools offering 97 bachelor's, 81 master's, and 35 doctoral degree programs. Founded in 1890 by Joshua C. Chilton, UNT began as the Texas Normal College and Teacher Training Institute on the second floor of a hardware store on the town square in Denton, Texas. Today, UNT is the fourth-largest university in Texas and 26th largest in the nation, yet it is able to maintain an impressive 19:1 student-to- faculty ratio. UNT is located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, the nation's fifth-largest media market, and with over 400 student organizations, NCAA Division I athletics, intramural sports, and an array of concerts and live performances, students are never at a loss for activities. North Texas is renowned for its award-winning School of Music, which is home to the Grammy-nominated One O'Clock Lab Band and has produced notable musicians like Roy Orbison, Tom "Bones" Malone, "Blue Lou" Marini, Lecrae Moore, Don Henley, Norah Jones, Pat Boone, Duain Wolfe, and Billy Harper. North Texas was the first school in the country to offer a jazz studies major Known for its comprehensiveness, UNT makes room for artists, engineers, teachers and everyone in between. The university is often at the forefront of new programs, continually evolving to be in step with changing industry and preparing graduates to be leaders in the workforce. New programs such as aviation logistics and international sustainable tourism are among the first of their kind in the United States. UNT has become a leader by giving its students a strong academic foundation and hands-on experience for the jobs that the global marketplace demands.

Denton, Texas UNT is in Denton, a college town of about 115,000 people located 35 miles north of Dallas and Fort Worth. The campus, which is the largest residential campus in the North Texas region, has 163 buildings on about 875 acres. The campus includes Discovery Park, UNT's nearly 285-acre research park, which is accessible by shuttle buses, as are a residence hall and athletic facilities at Eagle Point and the Mean Green Village. Many business, industry, education, government and cultural activities that support university studies are in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, the fourth largest metropolitan region in the country. Denton, the county seat of Denton County, is the 27th most populous city in Texas and the 11th-largest city in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. A Texas land grant led to the formation of Denton County in 1846, and the city was incorporated in 1866. Both were named after pioneer and Texas militia captain John B. Denton. The arrival of a railroad line in the city in 1881 spurred population, and the establishment of the University of North Texas in 1890 and Texas Woman's University in 1901 distinguished the city from neighboring regions. After the construction of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport finished in 1974, the city saw more rapid growth; as of 2011, Denton was the seventh-fastest growing city with a population over 100,000 in the country. Denton is known for its active music life; the North Texas State Fair and Rodeo and the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival attract over 300,000 people to the city each year. With over 45,000 students enrolled at the two universities located within its city limits, Denton is often characterized as a college town. As a result of the universities' growth, educational services play a large role in the city's economy.

www.attbus.com • 972.389.1900 2011 - Taylor Potts threw four touchdown passes and scored another on a trick play, and Eric Stephens ran 86 yards for a TD to carry Texas Tech to a 45-38 victory over Northwestern. The Red Raiders (8-5) led by 22 points early in the second half, and then had to sweat it out. The Wildcats (7-6) got within a touchdown twice in the fourth quarter, with freshmen quarterbacks Evan Watkins and Kain Colter combining to lead three straight touchdown drives and Jordan Maybin returning an interception 39 yards for a score with 5:37 left. The game wasn't decided until the final play, a heave by Watkins that was intercepted. It turned out to be quite a contest - 927 yards of total offense and an inspired comeback by the Wildcats. There were all sorts of oddities and game-changing plays, from a flubbed hold on an extra-point kick to Tech coach Tommy Tuberville trying an onside kick while leading 38-17 late in the third quarter. Soon, Northwestern was within 38-31. Potts held them off, though, going 43 of 56 for 369 yards. He ran twice for 19 yards, 13 coming when he threw the ball to Austin Zouzalik on the right side of the field and Zouzalik threw it back to him. Potts scored easily behind a convoy of blockers. The throwback was ruled a lateral, so it went down as a rushing play.

2012 - Case Keenum finished his record-setting career with another performance for the history books. The sixth-year senior threw for 532 yards and three touchdowns, leading Houston to 30-14 victory over Penn State in a bowl game featuring two nationally-ranked schools. The Cougars (13-1) finished with a school record for victories and made Tony Levine a winner in his debut as Houston coach. Levine took over when Kevin Sumlin left to take the Texas A&M job after the regular season. Keenum came into the '" game as the NCAA's career leader in yards passing and touchdowns passes, then set a bowl record with 227 yards passing in the first quarter. The Nittany Lions (9-4) were picked apart by Keenum. Penn State was allowing 162 yards passing per game, but Keenum threw for more than double that by halftime. The Cougars raced out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter behind Keenum's record-setting period. Keenum worked the spread offense to perfection; with five different Cougars catching at least five balls. Patrick Edwards, one of the country's leading receivers, had 228 yards and two scores in the last game of his collegiate career. Justin Johnson had 12 catches for 148 yards. Keenum is the ninth player in bowl history to pass for at least 500 yards.

2013 - Six plays. That's all it took to turn a potentially close game into a blowout in the 2013 Heart .; of Dallas Bowl. All six of those plays went in favor of Oklahoma State, and the Cowboys took full advantage, jumping out to a 28-0 halftime lead on the way to a 58-14 victory over Purdue. But it easily

could have been much different if not for a half dozen moments in the first half: . , OSU's Josh Stewart returned a punt 64 yards to the Purdue 19-yard line. The Cowboys scored a touchdown four plays later on a 4-yard pass from Clint Chelf to Charlie Moore, giving OSU a 7-0 - lead six minutes into the game. Two plays later, OSU safety Shamiel Gary intercepted a pass and returned the ball to the Purdue 26, setting up a 7-yard touchdown pass from Chelf to Blake Jackson. Just like that, the Cowboys led 14-0 with 6:43 left in the first quarter, despite having gained a total of only 45 yards on their two scoring possessions. The Boilermakers responded with a nice 10-play, 57-yard drive. But any momentum they had established ended when Sam McCartney sent a 34-yard field-goal attempt wide right. On OSU's ensuing possessions, the Cowboys drove to the Purdue 16-yard line where they faced a fourth-and-I. A stop here would have given the Boilermakers renewed hope. Instead, J.W. Walsh connected with Jeremy Seaton for a touchdown pass that sent OSU to a 21-0 lead less than a minute into the second quarter. The Boilermakers faced a fourth-and-2 situation of their own at the OSU 28-yard line midway through the quarter. Fullback Kurt Freytag came out of the backfield and was wide open on the right side of the field for the first down, but Robert Marve's pass was slightly high and Freytag was unable to haul in the catch. Finally, with the score 28-0, Purdue tried to go for the quick strike and Marve lofted a long pass to Akeem Hunt, who had gotten behind the OSU secondary. The ball went through Hunt's hands near the OSU 30-yard line.

Had those six plays gone in favor of Purdue instead of OSU, the Boilermakers actually could have led at halftime or at least been close. The stat sheet certainly did not indicate a four-touchdown margin. The Cowboys had 201 yards in total offense and 11 first downs, while Purdue had 172 yards and nine first downs. Any chance the Boilermakers had of getting back into the game quickly disappeared in the second half. On the third play of the half, Justin Gilbert forced a Purdue fumble and Daytawion Lowe picked up the ball and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown and a 35-0 OSU lead 51 seconds into the second half. For the game, Purdue committed six fumbles, lost three of them and threw two interceptions. Those five turnovers led directly to 24 OSU points. The Cowboys' defense had allowed a total of 92 points in their final two games of the regular season, both losses. Against Purdue, however, OSU gave up only seven points before the Boilermakers picked up a late touchdown with less than three minutes left in the game. Clint Chelf, who began the season as the Cowboys' third-team quarterback, was named the game's most valuable player after completing 17-of-22 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns. But he also gave quick credit to the OSU defense for coming up with so many turnovers.
