    First Quarter: UTSA (14) — Tulane (3)

    Don’t tell senior quarterback Eric Soza this could be his last game. He came out cooking in the first quarter with a 31-yard touchdown pass to freshmen running back Jarveon Williams, and then topped it off with a 20-yard touchdown run to give the Roadrunners a 14-3 lead.

    UTSA’s defense gave up on big pass play to the Bulldogs for 34-yards that ended in a field goal.

    Key First Quarter UTSA Stats:

    -Eric Soza was 5-for-7 for 16 yards and one passing score.

    -Senior safety Nic Johnston led the defense with four tackles (2 solo).

    -Jarveon Williams scored his first touchdown of the season.

    Second Quarter: UTSA (17) — Tulane (10)

    The most significant thing about the second quarter is Soza leaving the game with about a minute left due to an injury. There are no specifics, but it may have happened on the interception play that resulted in a touchdown for Louisiana Tech.

    The Roadrunners defense has yet to give up a touchdown, but the Bulldogs remain in the game thanks to their defensive score.

    -Hubble leads the Roadrunners with 45 yards receiving.

    Third Quarter: UTSA (24) — Tulane (10)

    After being scratched from the second half, Soza returned to the field and lead the Roadrunners to the only score of the third quarter with a six-play 53-yard score that resulted in a one-yard touchdown run by Evans Oktocha.

    Key Third Quarter UTSA Stats:

    -Soza was 3-for-3 passing for 77 yards passing.
