Army defeated UTSA 27–24 in a nail-biter. Army covered by 11.5; Game went Over by 0.5. The market closed at UTSA -8.5 and the Blue Chip model made it UTSA -5.0, an edge of 3.5 points toward Army.
UTSA rallied from a 20-10 deficit with two fourth-quarter touchdown passes from Owen McCown to take a 24-20 lead, but Army responded with a game-winning drive, and UTSA's final drive ended on downs.
The loss ended UTSA's FBS-best streak of 25 straight home wins against conference opponents, a significant psychological and statistical blow heading into their next game.
Owen McCown completed 27 of 40 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns, but his interception returned for a touchdown by Army was a critical turning point, and the offense failed to convert on the final drive.
UTSA allowed Army to rush for 127 yards by Noah Short and 90 by Cale Hellums, and gave up a 73-yard pick-six, highlighting vulnerabilities that opponents can exploit.
UTSA used a trick play (WR David Amador II throwing a TD pass) and had success through the air, but the inability to stop Army's ground game and the pick-six proved decisive.
