University Stadium, Albuquerque, N.M.
Average Line: New Mexico, -7
UTSA is slowing creeping their way up to relevancy as a program which is good to see. I realize that New Mexico has the better record, however, this Roadrunners team comes to play. They played Arizona State down to the wire and kept things close with Texas A&M as well. I’m going UTSA.
Score prediction: 31-30 UTSA
Players to watch:
Dalton Sturm (QB) UTSA
Josaiah Tauaefa (LB) UTSA
Teriyon Gipson (RB) NMU
Next: Las Vegas Bowl
