The UTSA Roadrunners are not only undefeated on the season, but they’ve been covering machines as well. It’s to the point you blindly back UTSA until the tickets stop cashing. The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs aren’t a good football team, especially on the defensive side, where they’re ranked 118th in total defense and 99th in scoring defense. Two teams heading in different directions. I’ll gladly lay the touchdown with the Roadrunners on the road.
