UTSA Coming Off Opening Win

UTSA in the first game faced off against Kennesaw State in the first game and they were able to secure the 26-18 victory. At the end of the first quarter, they were up 14-3 and then they had to hang on as the game went on. Owen McCown had quite the game, completing 28 of his 38 passes for 340 yards and three touchdowns. Wide receiver Devin McCuin was looked for often and finished with 11 carries for 79 yards and two touchdowns. One area they could improve is the running game. The top rusher for UTSA was Robert Henry who finished with six carries for only 30 yards.

The defense was excellent against the run but could improve against the pass. They allowed 202 yards through the air. If the secondary can limit the big play, they have a great chance to impress here. 

Texas State Pulled off Close Victory. 

Texas State in the first game faced off against Lamar and it wasn’t a dominant victory, but they were able to secure a 34-27 victory. At halftime, they were up 18-3 and although Lamar fought back in the second half, they were still able to secure the win. Jordan McCloud was under center and he completed 21 of his 30 passes for 238 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Ismail Mahdi is the star out of the backfield and he finished with 28 carries for 156 yards and one touchdown. 

On defense, there was some room for improvement. They allowed Robert Coleman to throw for 237 yards and two touchdowns through the air. They also allowed Griffin to rush for over 70 yards on the ground. Texas State will meet Arizona State, Sam Houston, and Troy after this game.

UTSA vs Texas State Prediction

Both of these defenses had some issues against the pass and that is going to be the difference here. These are both offenses that can move the ball through the air and there is going to be no shortage of scoring in this game. Both quarterbacks also showed some flashes and both are going to strong through the air. There is going to be no shortage of scoring, and this game is going to end up over the total.
