Army vs UTSA Game Preview

Why UTSA Will Win

UTSA did everything against Houston but actually win the game.

The offense didn’t control the clock, and the third down stops weren’t there, but QB Frank Harris was great, the defense was fantastic until the final few minutes, and overall the team showed just how good it still is after the breakthrough 2021.

The linebackers and defensive front kept the Cougar running backs under wraps. There weren’t any big bursts from the UH ground game – QB Clayton Tune ended up being the top runner with 51 yards – as the Roadrunners swarmed all game long.

But …

Why Army Will Win

Army actually showed a little … balance?

It was a tough 38-28 loss to UTSA with the defense struggling late and the offense not being able to do what it normally does – control the clock. That’s not going to be a problem against a UTSA team that had the ball for just over 24 minutes against the Cougars.

The Army offense kept up the pace, it came up with 118 yards through the air on its four completions – that counts as balance in this attack – and it should be able to control the game throughout as long as the run defense can hold up.

Houston struggle to get the win because it couldn’t convert decent drives into points and it kept shooting itself in the foot with penalties and mistakes. Neither area should be an issue for the Black Knights.

What’s Going To Happen

This week, UTSA’s inability to come up with third down stops is going to be deadly.

Coastal Carolina was the right team with the right makeup to handle what Army needed to do. UTSA has the talent and ability to pull off the road win, but Army’s ground game will be far more effective this week.

At home, with the O having the ball for well over 35 minutes, the D will be rested late.

Why Army Will Win

Is the Army running game ready to ramp it back up?

It struggled against The Citadel past week with just 153 rushing yards, but it was still able to win. However, the Knights end this if they’re able to get things working like normal.

The key is to keep the UTSA offense off the field. The Roadrunners don’t do much in the time of possession fight, and Army is doing a wonderful job on third downs of not only keeping the chains moving, but getting its defense off the field.

UTSA is 0-2 on the year and 0-13 since 2018 when it doesn’t convert 32% of its third down tries. Army is allowing teams to convert on 31% of their chances. However …

Why UTSA Will Win

The UTSA run defense has been good.

It had problems against UAB, but that was the only time it allowed more than 200 rushing yards. After getting hammered for over five yards per carry and 28 rushing scores last year, the Roadrunner D has tightened up giving up just six rushing scores so far and allowing 4.2 yards per carry.

The defense is doing a fantastic job of getting into the backfield, it’s among the best in the nation in forcing takeaways – coming up with ten – and when it comes to third downs, it’s even better than Army is at getting off the field.

Throw in an offense that’s been far stronger than it was last year, and it has the ability to make Army press a bit.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Army take over the game with its ground attack? That’s not a sure thing considering the Roadrunners held up last week against the BYU running game.

UTSA is going to have issues with teams that have a bit of an offensive balance, and that’s certainly not Army.

So far, out of Army’s four wins, Middle Tennessee is the only one that has a victory over an FBS team. UTSA is better than anyone Army has faced outside of Cincinnati.
