Impact Sibley hasn't played since Week 2, when he recorded seven carries for 38 yards and a touchdown against Western Michigan.

Leads backfield Saturday Sibley tallied 11 rushes for 26 yards and caught 8 of 9 targets for 45 yards during Saturday's 45-37 loss against Tulane.

Impact Sibley saw just two touches last week and ended up leading the Mean Green's backfield in Saturday's loss. He received more than double the carries of any other running back, and added eight catches for 45 yards in the passing game. This breakout in workload comes as a bit of a surprise, but the Mean Green backfield has been incredibly difficult to predict. If he can maintain his grasp on the backfield, he would be in line for a productive end to the season.

Scores first collegiate touchdown Sibley recorded seven rushes for 58 yards and hauled in all two targets for 17 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 52-20 victory over Tulsa.

Impact Sibley scored his first collegiate touchdown Saturday, a nine-yard touchdown reception late in the third quarter. The true freshman received seven carries in his second straight game, rushing for an efficient 58 yards. The Mean Green's running back situation is currently quite confusing as four different running backs received at least four carries in Saturday's win, yet none had more than seven. Sibley has played well in his two appearances, but his low volume and the uncertainty in North Texas' backfield makes him difficult to rely on right now.
