UTSA’s defense ran amuck on Rice Saturday, holding the Owls’ offense to only two of 15 on third down conversions and forcing four turnovers on the day. In a game where offensive football practically didn’t exist the Roadrunner defense provided a bright spot.
Both offenses combined for 400 total yards. Readers of the offensive statistics would be hard pressed to believe there were 23 points scored in this game. Through the first half alone fans saw: 10 punts, seven three-and-outs, a turnover on downs, a fumble, an interception, and a field goal drive that netted -9 total yards.
