UTSA Survives Shootout With Western Kentucky, Wins 52-46 for Best Start in Program History

Despite being conference mates since 2013, the UTSA Roadrunners and Western Kentucky Hilltoppers rarely play each other. The teams had met only once before this contest, but Conference USA might want to start scheduling more matchups after last night’s game.

Offense sells, and UTSA and Western Kentucky put on an absolute thriller offensive performance. The Tops nearly had 700 yards of offense, while UTSA tallied over 550 yards. Combined, the teams accumulated 1264 total yards of offense and nearly 900 of those yards were amassed through the air. As was likely expected, UTSA’s defense could not contain Bailey Zappe but Western Kentucky’s defense could not contain Frank Harris either.
