For the second year in a row the UTSA Roadrunners (3-0, 1-0 CUSA) have started their season 3-0, and like last season the third win came against the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (1-2, 0-1 CUSA). But unlike last year, this game was anything but close.
Last year was an offensive shootout, as the Roadrunners and Blue Raiders combined for 72 points and nearly 1,000 yards of total offense. This year, instead, was a defensive slugfest. UTSA’s defense dominated all game, recording five sacks and two turnovers, and nearly giving the Roadrunners their second shut-out in as many games, while Middle Tennessee forced three turnovers, two of which came in the endzone.
