Some things to watch in Week 3 of the Big 12 Conference season:
GAME OF THE WEEK
Texas Tech at No. 16 N.C. State. The Red Raiders are off to a 2-0 start for new coach Joey McGuire after a double-overtime victory at home over then-No.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Dana Holgorsen would prefer Clayton Tune not run the ball out of concern for his health. The Houston coach knew he could not stop his senior quarterback from doing so, though. And neither could UTSA.
UTSA quarterback Frank Harris will have a different sidekick as he tries to help the Roadrunners defend their Conference USA championship.
Sincere McCormick set school records with 1,479 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns as UTSA won its first league title on its home field at the Alamodome.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — UTSA entered the season with a huge chip on its shoulder and the Roadrunners set it down Friday night to hoist the Conference USA trophy.
Sincere McCormick rushed for 204 yards and three touchdowns and the UTSA Roadrunners escaped another prolific outing by Western Kentucky quarterback Bailey Zappe to beat the Hilltoppers 49-41 and claim their first C-USA championship at the Alamodome.
DENTON, Texas (AP) — An undefeated season slipped away from No. 15 UTSA on a rain-soaked Saturday in the Dallas area.
The Roadrunners didn't seem terribly surprised.
Whether it was losing three fumbles early with a slick ball or playing a hot opponent a week after staying perfect on a last-second touchdown, UTSA coach Jeff Traylor sensed the odds getting worse.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — UTSA has practiced every possible scenario, even the most improbable, during its historic season and that prepared the Roadrunners for the most unlikely of finishes. Sort of.
Frank Harris scooped up a low snap and threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Oscar Cardenas with three seconds left, giving No.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — UTSA was nearly felled by the pressure of being overwhelming favorites. The defense prevented a truly upsetting defeat.
Frank Harris passed for 227 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 54 yards and No.
Southern Miss (1-8, 0-5 Conference USA) at No. 15 UTSA (9-0, 5-0, No. 23 CFP), Saturday at 3:30 p.m. EST (ESPN+).
Line: UTSA by 33 1/2, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Nationally ranked, undefeated and playing at home, UTSA is a heavy favorite against a Southern Mississippi program suffering through its worst season in nearly a decade.
Could UTSA (9-0, 5-0 Conference USA) overlook Southern Miss (1-8, 0-5) as it basks in the hype surrounding the best season in its 10-year history?
RUSTON, La. (AP) — Frank Harris threw two touchdown passes to Zakhari Franklin and No. 24 UTSA celebrated its first national ranking with a 45-16 victory over Louisiana Tech on Saturday night.
Harris was 12 of 20 for 193 yards, with scoring passes of 75 and 10 yards to Franklin, to help the Roadrunners (8-0, 4-0 Conference USA) extend their school-record winning streak to eight games.
No. 24 UTSA (7-0, 3-0 Conference USA) at Louisiana Tech (2-4, 1-1), Saturday at 7 p.m. EDT (Stadium).
