Roadrunners Overcome Slow Start in 2nd Spring Scrimmage

After a great inaugural football season at UTSA, fans expect the team to step up in their move to the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) next season.  Spring Football is a great time to improve upon that, which began last Saturday with the first of two scrimmages at Dub Farris Stadium.  The team finished with a mere three points in nine possessions to start Spring Football on a not-so-good note.

Luckily for UTSA, they had one final scrimmage this morning before their second annual spring football game.  The Roadrunners arrived early for a 7:30am start time and the offense began the scrimmage with yet another slow start.  A combination of the fog that had rolled in and an earlier start might have plagued the Runners early, but UTSA would finally find an answer and overcome the slow start.  The offense racked up 499 yards and finished with 4 touchdowns in the 100 plays they ran.  The defense also stepped up, forcing four turnovers and three sacks in the scrimmage.

The standout athletes in today's scrimmage included linebackers Cody Rogers and Blake Terry, wide receiver Earon Holmes, and quarterback Tucker Carter.  Both Rogers and Terry finished with six tackles, Holmes finished with 127 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and Carter finished with 142 yards in the air.  The Roadrunners return to action on April 15th for their annual spring game at the Alamodome.
