MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — With time ticking down on Friday night against UTSA, Decorian Patterson had to get back in the game.
Late in the third quarter, his team down three scores after he missed time during the game with a shoulder injury, Patterson got cleared by the training staff, strapped his helmet back on, and brought the energy he had brought all season.
Perhaps UTSA hadn't noticed his presence quite yet. Because when Roadrunner QB Frank Harris pulled the ball on the RPO and rifled the ball on a slant to De'Corian Clark, Decorian Patterson was right there in the red zone to stop him in his tracks.
