The UTSA Roadrunners triumphed over Florida Atlantic, with a score of 38-24, thanks to a fourth-quarter surge that secured the victory. Despite some turnovers, Owen McCown led a resilient UTSA effort, amassing 340 passing yards and two touchdowns, while Brandon High Jr. clinched the win with a late 29-yard touchdown run. The Roadrunners' defense was pivotal, allowing just 203 yards and registering seven sacks to stifle the Florida Atlantic offense.
Cam Fancher initially gave the Owls hope with a dazzling 76-yard touchdown run and later chipped in with another rushing score. However, the UTSA defense, coupled with clutch field goals from Tate Sandell, allowed the home team to regain control. Wendol Philord's defensive touchdown briefly tied the game, but UTSA's final push, capped by an impeccable two-point conversion, proved decisive.
