Behind the prowess of Roadrunners defensive end Marcus Davenport, UTSA dominated Rice’s offense for four quarters. Davenport racked up a healthy 11 tackles (six solo), 3.5 tackles for loss, and two sacks.
The first of those sacks came on Rice’s opening offensive possession. The Owls were stringing together a promising first drive after recovering a forced fumble from UTSA running back Jalen Rhodes to start the game.
On first and 10 at the Rice 46-yard line, Davenport furiously shot off the corner and forced quarterback Sam Glaesmann to evade about 12 yards deep into the backfield.
