UTSA defeated Incarnate Word 48–20 in a dominant performance. UTSA covered by 7.0; Game went Over by 5.5. The market closed at UTSA -21.0 and the Blue Chip model made it UTSA -19.9, an edge of 1.1 points toward Incarnate Word.
Incarnate Word fell behind 24-0 at halftime, managing only 90 yards of offense and committing three turnovers (two lost fumbles, one interception) that led to short UTSA touchdown drives. This slow start and inability to protect the ball were critical in the loss.
After replacing starting quarterback Richard Torres with EJ Colson in the second half, the offense showed life. Colson completed 17 of 24 passes for 213 yards and three touchdowns, all to Chedon James, who had eight catches for 134 yards and three scores. This suggests potential for a more effective passing attack moving forward.
The defense allowed UTSA running back Robert Henry Jr. to rush for 144 yards and two touchdowns, including a 74-yard run to open the second half. Henry has now rushed for over 100 yards in five straight games, indicating a vulnerability that opponents may exploit.
Entering the game ranked No. 8 in the FCS coaches' poll, the loss drops Incarnate Word to 1-2. The team will need to quickly regroup and address the early-game issues to avoid a losing streak and maintain confidence in a competitive FCS landscape.
