UTSA defeated Colorado State 17–16 in a nail-biter. Colorado State covered by 3.5; Game went Under by 25.5. The market closed at UTSA -4.5 and the Blue Chip model made it UTSA -5.2. The two were within a point of each other, so there was no meaningful edge in this line.
Colorado State mounted a 13-play, 75-yard drive in the final 29 seconds, scoring a touchdown to cut the lead to one, but a failed 2-point conversion attempt and an unsuccessful onside kick sealed the 17-16 loss.
Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi started and completed 14 of 25 passes for 176 yards, while Jackson Brousseau came in late and went 10-of-12 for 78 yards and a touchdown, indicating potential depth at the position.
Lloyd Avant rushed for 96 yards on 10 carries, and Tahj Bullock added a 10-yard touchdown run, showing the Rams can move the ball on the ground effectively.
UTSA's Robert Henry Jr. broke off a 76-yard touchdown run in the second quarter and a 74-yard touchdown catch in the fourth, highlighting Colorado State's vulnerability to explosive plays.
After a successful PAT to tie the game, an offside penalty on UTSA prompted Colorado State to go for the 2-point conversion instead of kicking the extra point, which ultimately failed and cost them the game.
