Colorado State vs UTSA Prediction
Colorado State has had issues in recent years stepping up in competition, and this defense doesn’t make me believe things will change. Colorado State can’t stop the run and is 120th overall in total defense. UTSA beat a talented Texas State team on the road and covered against Texas. UTSA couldn’t do much offensively against the Longhorns, but many teams would have lost in worse fashion. UTSA has been sneaky good up to this point. I’ll lay the number just inside two full touchdowns.
