Roadrunners Steal College Football Spotlight

NCAA Week 12 - In a glorious and much-needed relief from the ever-increasing corporatization of the sport, the best game of Week 12 had nothing to do with the College Football Playoff. The No. 43 University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) Roadrunners hosted the No. 68 Alabama-Birmingham (UAB) Blazers in San Antonio with a spot in the Conference USA Championship Game on the line. The teams traded scores in the first half, with UAB scoring touchdowns on three of its five drives and kicking a field goal on the fourth. The defenses showed up in the second half, though, particularly on UTSA's side.
