Live updates: UTSA out to disastrous start vs. Colorado State
The Roadrunners can enter the American Conference season with a 3-1 record if they can get by the Rams on Saturday in the Alamodome.
In a disastrous opening to their game against Colorado State, the UTSA Roadrunners fell behind 14-0 early in the contest. Quarterback K saan Farrar connected with Terrence Smith for a devastating 74-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage, showcasing the Roadrunners' inability to stop Colorado State's potent offense early in the game.
The Rams capitalized on their strong start by taking a 7-0 lead with just 94 yards on the opening kickoff return, thanks to Mel Brown's swift sprint through the Roadrunners' defense. Despite these early setbacks, both teams were dealing with injuries that would impact the game. Colorado State would be without their starting quarterback, Hauss Hejny, who was out due to a hamstring injury that sidelined him from last week's loss to BYU.
Similarly, UTSA lost a key player in cornerback Ahamad Chapman, who missed the game due to a previous injury that took him out of the Texas game. The matchup between the Roadrunners and Colorado State was set to kick off at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Alamodome, with broadcasts on ESPNU and 760 AM.
