First Quarter


The game kicked off with UTSA setting an aggressive tone. The Runners quickly established their dominance by scoring 21 points in the first quarter alone. Owen McCown led the charge with precision passing, completing 71 percent of his throws and accumulating 236 yards through the air. His efforts resulted in three touchdown passes, setting a solid foundation for UTSA's offensive onslaught.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Rice attempted to mount a comeback by adding seven points to their tally. However, UTSA responded with another impressive display of offense and defense. Will Henderson III was instrumental on the ground for UTSA, rushing for two touchdowns and amassing a total of 115 yards from just five attempts. The Runners extended their lead further by adding another 17 points before halftime.


Third Quarter


As play resumed after halftime, UTSA continued its relentless pursuit of victory. The third quarter saw them add an additional 23 points without conceding any to Rice. Kendrick Blackshire was pivotal on defense; not only did he record one sack but also returned an interception for a touchdown that further demoralized Rice's offensive unit.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw minimal scoring as both teams tightened their defenses; however, Rice managed to score three more points before time expired. Despite this late effort from Rice, it was too little too late as they were unable to close down on UTSA’s substantial lead.
