UTSA trailed 31-27 and got the ball on its 23 with 1:06 left in the game.
The Roadrunners went 77 yards in 7 plays and Frank Harris found Oscar Cardenas with a 1-yard pass with three seconds left. The throw was deflected before winding up in the arms of Cardenas.
In case you were wondering, Harris throws left-handed so he didn’t attempt the pass with his non-throwing hand.
Harris, who threw for 323 yards and three TDs on 25-of-36 passing, scrambled down to the 1-yard line only to be stopped short with nine seconds left on the clock. Following an incompletion on second and goal, Harris scooped up a low snap and found Cardenas, who hauled in the game-winner after a deflection near the back of the end zone.
UTA ran its conference winning streak to 10 and will play host to the Conference USA Championship Game on Dec. 3.
UTSA also won for the program-record ninth straight time at home.
