UTSA place kicker Jared Sackett booted a 40-yard field goal with six seconds remaining in regulation to edge the Roadrunners past the Thundering Herd. It was an all-too-fitting finish to a game where neither team could muster up any sustained offensive success.

In the pre-game, UTSA celebrated 25 seniors playing their last home contest in the Alamodome. As fate would have it, Sackett, a true freshman, would carry his veterans to the promised land with a flawless kicking performance.

The walk-on was three for three with two 24-yard kicks in the first half and the 40-yard boot to win it.
