Final Score: Florida International 42, North Texas 10

Denton, TX (Sports Network) - Paul McCall threw four touchdown passes to lead the Florida International Golden Panthers to a 42-10 win over the North Texas Mean Green in Sun Belt Conference action at Fouts Stadium.

McCall finished the outing 11-of-19 for 234 yards for FIU (2-3, 1-0 Sun Belt) as the squad picked up its second win in as many weeks.

The Mean Green (0-5, 0-1), losers of six straight dating back to last season, were paced by Giovanni Vizza who converted 32-of-46 passing for 274 yards, but he was sacked three times and had three passes picked off in the losing effort.

McCall opened the game's scoring with a 65-yard TD pass to T.Y. Hilton at the 5:11 mark of the first quarter. Hilton finished the contest with three catches for 145 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

FIU extended the lead to 14-0 when Alonzo Phillips returned a blocked punt 11 yards for a score less than three minutes later.

Before the end of the first half the Golden Panthers tallied two more touchdowns, the first coming on a 73-yard connection between McCall and Hilton and the other a 26-yard run by A'mod Ned to make the score 28-0 at the break.

Midway through the third McCall's third TD pass measured eight yards to Eric Kirchenberg to cap a five-play, 75-yard drive, making the score 35-0.

North Texas finally got on the board with just over five minutes remaining in the third as Jeremy Knott knocked through a 28-yard field goal.

In the fourth it was McCall again for FIU with a 28-yard TD pass to Greg Ellington to push the score to 42-3.

Down the stretch the Mean Green had one last gasp, a one-yard touchdown run by Micah Mosely to leave the visitors with the 32-point win.
