Jahiem White did the early work. He ran 24 yards for the first score of the game, then 47 yards for the second, and North Texas led 14-0 midway through the first quarter. Houston Christian got a Jett Runion two-yard catch from Cutter Stewart and a 26-yard Maddox Kopp run to tie it 14-14 with 11:58 left in the second quarter. Then it was over. White scored from three yards, Justin Stevenson caught a 41-yard touchdown from Chris Jimerson Jr., and White scored again from seven yards to make it 35-14 at the half.
The second half was a procession. TJ Chukwurah caught a 14-yard touchdown from Tayven Jackson in the third, Baron Tipton caught a 17-yarder from Chaston Ditta, and Jaden Allen returned an interception 34 yards for a score early in the fourth. Ditta ran in from four yards with 7:39 left to close it out. Three different quarterbacks threw touchdown passes.
North Texas finished with 654 yards, 400 through the air and 254 on the ground, with no interceptions and one lost fumble. White ran 11 times for 133 yards and four touchdowns. Take his four touchdowns away (24 points) and North Texas still wins 39-14. That is how lopsided it was.
North Texas is 2-2. Houston Christian is 0-2. For fantasy, White's 42.0 points were the story by a wide margin.
