No. 97 - North Texas Blows Out Decatur Baptist 97-0
After two tough road losses to Metroplex rivals SMU and TCU, who were national powers at the time, a strong 1929 North Texas squad returned to open the home schedule against Decatur Baptist. The North Texas Eagles, who had high expectations entering the 1929 season, sent a message to the rest of their opponents with a 97-0 thumping of the Decatur Baptist Indians.
The Eagles held Decatur Baptist to a single first down, which came on a long pass, as North Texas completely outclassed its opposition via pass, run and kick on both sides of the ball. North Texas was able to empty its bench, as most of the team played as the Indians could not stop the Eagles.
The 97-0 thumping started a hot streak for North Texas, as they would go on to pitch shutouts in their next two games, outscoring opponents 135-0 in the three game span. North Texas would go on to finish the 1929 season with only one more loss, coming at Baylor. The Eagles would not win the TIAA that year, finishing second with Texas State-who had to vacate their championship due to the use on an ineligible player.
