UTSA’s ground-and-pound offense proved entirely too much for Middle Tennessee’s defense as the Roadrunners ran for an outstanding 270 yards on the ground.
On the other side of the ball, UTSA’s defense forced four takeaways to put the game completely out of reach for MTSU by the end of the third quarter.
The Roadrunners came in as 20-point underdogs and completely reversed the spread. They came in prepared and played their best football of the year, finally crushing their road woes and keeping their bowl hopes within reach.
To make matters worse for the Blue Raiders, their star quarterback and leader of their offense Brent Stockstill left the game after the first quarter and would later have his arm in a sling on the sideline.
