It was nothing new this season and no words needed to be spoken last Saturday when the FIU defense was once again asked to rise to the occasion.
With UTSA trailing 14-7, the Roadrunners reached the FIU 2 and had a first-and-goal to try and tie the score. UTSA scored on its previous possession to start the fourth quarter and followed that with an interception of FIU quarterback Alex McGough.
UTSA was just 72 inches away from tying the score and wresting momentum from the Panthers.
However, the FIU defense did what it has done all season and closed out an opponent.
