UTSA repeated as Conference USA champion, riding an MVP performance from quarterback Frank...
A person is detained Friday night, Dec. 2, 2022 at the Alamodome by SAPD officers after the conclusion of the UTSA Roadrunners’ 48-27 win over the North Texas Mean Green to win back-to-back C-USA championships.Fielding a call from Texas Tech coach and longtime friend Joey McGuire at 7:30 a.m. Friday, UTSA coach Jeff Traylor was already feeling upbeat.
A sixth-year senior who lost two seasons to ACL tears and was sidelined most of 2019 by a shoulder injury, Harris entered Friday having already delivered on one of the goals he set at the time of his commitment out of Clemens — to bring UTSA a conference championship. The Mean Green implemented a defense the Roadrunners hadn’t seen before, often dropping seven or eight players into coverage to clog throwing lanes. Harris looked as uncomfortable as he had all season for stretches of the first meeting, leading UTSA to just three points in the first half before rallying for a 31-27 win.
Barnes rushed 28 times for 175 yards and a touchdown. Kaedric Cobbs, a sophomore playing for the first time this year after suffering an ACL tear during spring practice in early April, was the only other running back to touch the ball, carrying once for 5 yards. Clifford Chattman snared an interception for the fourth straight game during the first half, Ken Robinson pulled one in during the fourth quarter, and the Roadrunners forced a turnover on downs in four plays to seal the win with less than five minutes remaining.
