WIN THE 3RDS

Memphis comes in at 7-1, but even in that great record there are tendencies in their opponents who have scored the highest points against them. The teams who have had success against them are converting 49% of their third downs. That will be important if the Roadrunners want to be any type of threat.


SPLASH PLAYS

Memphis has tendencies of giving up big plays of twenty yards or more. In their last three games they have given up seventeen plays of twenty yards or more. A majority of those were by passing plays. UTSA should make big chunk plays and take advantage of yards after catch and contact.

UTSA has seventeen plays of twenty yards or more in that same stretch. This can make for a fireworks game!


CLEAN HOUSE

UTSA has been holding themselves back. The last three games they have committed thirty-three penalties. It is impossible to move forward when you constantly are causing yourself setbacks. Hopefully being at home will stop pre snap penalties. Cleaning up these mishaps will keep this game closer for a longer time.
