UTSA vs Colorado State Prediction 

UTSA comes into this matchup after a decent showing against Texas last week and they have scored 31 and 45 points in their two wins. The Roadrunners have a very experienced QB with McCown, but I don’t love their defense. Colorado State is also 2-1 and they played a solid second half last week against BYU. The Rams have scored 23, 58, and 35 points in their three games. I think we will see plenty of scoring in this matchup and I think both teams could hit 30, so I like the over here.
