Texas State Bobcats vs. UTSA Roadrunners Prediction

I’m on the over in this one. You have two offenses that can go, and two teams that I wasn’t all that enthralled with with their defensive outputs in week one either. I think this game has track meet written all over it from the opening kick so give me the over in this one.
