No. 84 - David Brown's 84-yard touchdown sparks NT to conference title
It was an inauspicious start to a critical game for North Texas against Sam Houston State in 1994. David Brown, a normally reliable kick returner, took the opening kickoff back only two yards to begin the game. The Mean Green was set-up at its own 16-yard line after the 2-yard kick return.
It took only one play for Brown to make up the rest. On the first play of the game, QB Mitch Maher found Brown for an 84-yard touchdown strike. The 84-yard reception is still the sixth longest in the school history.
The touchdown was a crucial score as the Mean Green held onto beat the Bearkats 21-16 and eventually win the Southland Conference title.
The 84-yard catch was the longest in the career of Brown and the second longest in Maher's career.
Also considered- Quarterback Mitch Maher is going to be found all throughout the top-100 list, and for good reason. He combined to finish his career with 84 touchdowns from 1991-94. 67 TD passes and 17 rushing touchdowns in his illustrious career to reach the total of 84.
