With that out of the way, I'm not sure exactly how dejecting it must be for North Texas to be on the losing side of a game like that, but it must be pretty bad. The computers favored North Texas by over 13 points, so I'm not sure if the whole team couldn't make it and had to put in a bunch of small children who have never played football before, or if there is a better excuse.
The score?
Portland State 66
North Texas 7
This is actually Portland State's second upset of the year over a FBS team. September 5th they beat Washington State 24-17. With both wins, Portland State becomes the first FCS team to knock off two FBS teams in the same season since North Dakota State did it in 2007.
This game marked the biggest win over a FBS team by a FCS team ever, beating 1981's 58-0 win by Lehigh over Harvard. As a result of today's loss and 0-5 season start, Dan McCarney (North Texas head coach) has been fired.
North Texas is ranked among the worst in the country in yards per play and yards allowed per play. The Mean Green have given up 45 points per game.

A couple other pieces of information... It looked like Portland State actually pulled their starters to avoid running up the score even more. Portland State was paid $425,000 by North Texas, and although favored by the computers, Portland State was actually 3.5 point favorites.
