North Texas spent 13 seasons competing in NCAA's Division I-AA, in the Southland Conference. The Mean Green returned to Division I-A in 1995 and, playing as an independent, faced a brutal schedule that included Missouri, Oklahoma, LSU and Alabama.
The Mean Green scored its first win back in D-IA over Oregon State of the Pac 10 at Fouts Field. The team featured quarterback Jason Mills, who is still in the top 10 in school history in career passing yards; Brian Waters, who went on to be a six-time All Pro offensive linemen for the Kansas City Chiefs, an NFL Man of the Year, a UNT Athletic Hall of Fame inductee; and Clay Jennings, who returned to North Texas this year as an assistant coach.
