Texas-San Antonio 21, New Mexico 13: Eric Soza threw for 237 yards and two touchdowns and the visiting Roadrunners stifled the Lobos in a comeback win.
Texas-San Antonio, which is in its third year playing football and will be making its debut in Conference USA this season, fell behind 13-0 before scoring 21 unanswered points against a New Mexico team that managed only 277 total yards.
Soza completed 21-of-34 passes and led the Roadrunners with 48 yards on the ground. David Glasco II contributed 32 rushing yards and started the comeback with a 1-yard TD run with 3:10 left in the first half.
Soza hit Brandon Armstrong for a 38-yard score just after halftime to put Texas-San Antonio on top 14-13. The Lobos missed a potential go-ahead field goal on the next possession, turned the ball over on downs once and had back-to-back punts before Soza hit Glasco II for an 8-yard score with three minutes left.
New Mexico's ensuing possession stalled at the Roadrunners' 43 when Clayton Mitchem's fourth-down pass was broken up. Cole Gautsche had 118 yards rushing and was 4-for-12 for 65 yards and a touchdown while cornerback SaQwan Edwards had a 45-yard fumble return for a score in the opening minutes for the Lobos.
