UTSA Roadrunners Game Notes
According to JJ Perez of InsideRunnersSports.com, UTSA could be without 10 or more players in the Frisco Bowl. We know that running back Sincere McCormick is out for this game after he declared for the 2022 NFL Draft, but we have yet to receive word on any other players who are expected to be out for UTSA’s Frisco Bowl game, which is set to be played on December 21st against San Diego State. Perez said that some positions have been reportedly “decimated” ahead of Tuesday’s bowl game.

San Diego State Aztecs Game Notes
San Diego State junior WR Jesse Matthews caught eight passes for 82 yards and a touchdown in SDSU’s 46-13 loss to Utah State. Matthews (6’0″/190) was targeted early and often and was really one of the few bright spots for the Aztecs. He was a consistent chain mover, and caught SDSU’s only touchdown. Granted, it was deep into garbage time in the fourth quarter, but still. He showed good fight and focus to bring down the quick slant with a defender all over him. Matthews was limited by the poor showing by the rest of his team, including his quarterback, but Matthews did what he could. He’ll finish off a solid decent year in a bowl game.
UTSA vs. San Diego State Betting Prediction
The Aztecs are 5-1-1 against the spread in their last seven games coming off a loss, are 8-2 against the number in their last 10 non-conference games and have covered in eight of their last 11 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game. With the Roadrunners reportedly “decimated” at several positions heading into tonight’s game, laying a field goal with the better overall team represents plenty of value.
