No. 86 - Mean Green Eighty-Six The Toads
North Texas took on Metroplex rival TCU on October 18, 1986, and walked away from Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth with a 24-20 victory, the last win for the Mean Green against the Horned Frogs of TCU.
Texas Christian took a 17-3 lead with 9:05 remaining in the third quarter, but the Mean Green came roaring back. Kim Phillips answered immediately with a 98 yard kickoff return to bring North Texas to within a touchdown. The Frogs fumbled on their next possession, which set up a 55-yard drive, which culminated in a Bron Beal touchdown on 4th and goal on the 1-yard line.
TCU briefly took the lead in the 4th quarter with a 48-yard field goal, but a 44-yard kick return set up North Texas' next score, as Darrin Collins finished the 66-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown scamper.
The Mean Green defense then did not break, even as TCU drove into the red zone during the final minutes of the game. On fourth down with :42 seconds left, TCU threw an incomplete pass in the end zone, a pass that would not have counted anyway, as TCU had an ineligible receiver downfield, and the Mean Green sent the fans who drove from Denton home happy with a 24-20 victory over TCU.
