The Orange Beach, Alabama, native was intercepted once on a deep throw, but that hardly mattered in a game controlled by Troy’s defence, which produced five North Texas turnovers. Two of Silvers’ TD passes went to Damion Willis, whom Silvers targeted more than usual because of an early injury to receiver Deondre Douglas.

North Texas has a relatively young squad with only a handful of senior starters. North Texas opens 2018 at home on Sept. 1 vs. SMU.
