What to Know
UT-San Antonio will take on Baylor at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday at McLane Stadium. After both teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.
The oddsmakers expected fireworks between UT-San Antonio and Incarnate Word, but the 58.5-point over/under wound up being a bit inflated. The Roadrunners were the clear victor by a 35-7 margin over Incarnate Word. QB Frank Harris did work as he picked up 123 yards on the ground on 15 carries and threw 3 TDs.
Meanwhile, when you finish with 254 more yards than your opponent like Baylor did last Saturday, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. They claimed a resounding 56-17 victory over S.F. Austin. It should come as no surprise that the experts had more or less unanimously put their money on Baylor.
Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 1-0. A couple last-season offensive stats to keep an eye on: UT-San Antonio ranked worst in the nation with respect to overall touchdowns last season, where the team accrued only 16. On the other hand, the Bears were 19th in the nation in passing yards per game, finishing the 2018 season with 290 on average. So...the UT-San Antonio squad has its work cut out for it.
