UTSA vs Middle Tennessee Game Preview

Why UTSA Will Win

UTSA continues to play really, really well, even if it’s not having the same results it enjoyed last year in its Conference USA championship season.

The two losses were out of conference so there’s still plenty of time to get everything right, and it starts here with one key part to its game.

Turnovers. Don’t give them up.

Middle Tennessee has been a menace at taking the ball away over the last few seasons, and it’s all kicking in full force with nine forced turnovers over the last three games including three in the stunning win over Miami.

UTSA, though, doesn’t screw up. Frank Harris is a strong veteran quarterback who makes the right reads and doesn’t force his throws, the offense has turned if over just four times in four games, and it all might be enough to push past the Middle Tennessee D that’s strong, but gives up lots of passing yards.

NFL Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Middle Tennessee Will Win

Oh yeah, the win over Miami thing.

Middle Tennessee wasn’t on anyone’s radar after getting destroyed by James Madison to start the season, and beating Colorado State and Tennessee State didn’t do much of anything.

People sure as shoot noticed the 45-31 win over Miami, though.

The defense stuffed the run, forced three takeaways, and did it all with one of the nation’s most fearsome pass rushes that’s screwing up offenses over the last three weeks.

However …

What’s Going To Happen

UTSA’s offensive line is solid in pass protection and, again, Harris doesn’t get rattled.

The Roadrunner defense is a concern, but Middle Tennessee’s offense doesn’t open it up. It doesn’t run particularly well, and the 406 passing yards against Miami seems like a bit of an outlier for a passing game that’s more about the midrange accuracy.

Chase Cunningham will bomb away on the UTSA secondary, but Harris and company will have enough answers to keep pushing ahead.

This will be fun.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

UTSA (2-0) vs Middle Tennessee (1-1) Game Preview


Why Middle Tennessee Will Win

The Blue Raiders were able to hang around a bit with Virginia Tech in a 35-14 loss.

The running game didn’t do much, but former NC State QB Bailey Hockman was able to throw for over 200 yards and the defense kept the game in check for a half.

The offense isn’t making big mistakes – just one turnover so far – and the passing game is just efficient enough to bother a UTSA secondary that had problems late against Illinois and hasn’t been pressed too hard.

Week 3 College Football Expert Picks

Why UTSA Will Win

The Roadrunners keep on rolling.

They pulled off a thriller or a win over Illinois in the opener, and then ripped through Lamar with a 54-0 win thanks to a razor-sharp passing game.

It’s all working. They’re moving the chains without a problem, the offense is scoring whenever it gets a chance, and they’re not making a whole slew of mistakes.

Middle Tennessee isn’t doing anything to keep defenses out of the backfield and the offense hasn’t been moving like it needs to against a team this solid.

What’s Going To Happen

UTSA is playing well, and now it gets to take a first step in the Conference USA race at home with a good offensive balance and a nice day from the defense.

The Roadrunner defensive front will get into the backfield enough to come up with the stops needed to pull ahead in the second half.
