Game Recap
The UTSA Roadrunners showcased their supremacy by overpowering the South Florida Bulls in a 49-21 victory. Quarterback Frank Harris delivered a standout performance, contributing to six total touchdowns. His precise passing and agile rushing proved too much for the Bulls' defense to handle.
While South Florida opened the game with promise, courtesy of Nay'Quan Wright's 16-yard rushing touchdown, they couldn't sustain their early momentum. Despite quarterback Byrum Brown's efforts, including a 50-yard touchdown pass to Yusuf Terry, UTSA's dynamic offense and strategic defensive maneuvers, such as interceptions by Dywan Griffin and Nicktroy Fortune, put the game out of reach for the Bulls.
