Roadrunners use big First Quarter to defeat Marshall 27-17
OCT 5, 2013
HUNTINGTON, WV - The UTSA Roadrunners continue with their high-scoring attack to edge the Marshall Thundering Herd to win their second consecutive game in Conference-USA competition.
Turnovers were a big theme for both teams as both starting quarterbacks, UTSA's Tucker Carter, and Marshall's Rakeem Cato, had to endure 5 interceptions by the defensive units. Costly turnovers in both redzones prevented the score from being much higher, but credit to the defensive side of the ball for making the plays that the offense could not execute. However, UTSA were able to control the line of scrimmage unlike their opponents through RS Junior David Glasco, who had a 100+ yard on the ground this afternoon.
UTSA were relatively toothless after that huge 1st Quarter, but the defense made key stops, and the Roadrunners were able to utilize the best formation in football, the victory formation, to secure a win and move back to .500 at 3-3, while remaining perfect in Conference Play. Marshall fall to 2-3 in their Conference season and home opener.
Next Saturday, the Roadrunners come back to their friendly confines at the Alamodome against the Rice Owls (3-2, 1-1 C-USA).
