Week 6 college football sees the Hilltoppers and Roadrunners meeting at Alamodome in San Antonio, TX on Saturday.
The Roadrunners are favored by -6.5 points in this Conference USA matchup and we can only hope these two reproduce the type of games they played a season ago. If you recall, these two programs met twice last season, once during the regular season and again in the Conference USA title game. UTSA won both contests!
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers
Western Kentucky lost two games to the Roadrunners a season ago, so naturally the sense of revenge is on the minds of the Hilltoppers. UTSA came away with a 52 – 46 win on the Hilltoppers field, and the Roadrunners came away with a Conference USA title winning 49 – 41. That’s called some high-scoring stuff, as the two teams combined to average 1179 yards and 94 points from the two meetings.
The Hilltoppers offense is ranked 11th or better in 3 major categories. With just over 500 yards per game, the Hilltoppers rank 11th in the nation in yards per game, and the passing game is responsible for most of the damage. Austin Reed is leading the 6th ranked passing attack in the land that puts up 352.6 YPG, and he is completing over 70% of his tosses through 5 games.
The 17 – 4 TD to INT ratio for Reed is outstanding, and we can only assume he is licking his chops watching film of the UTSA passing defense on tape. The Roadrunners couldn’t stop the Hilltoppers last year even though the Roadrunners earned wins in both outings so I expect more of the same to take place this weekend.
The Hilltoppers already have 6 players over the 100-yard mark in receiving yards with Daewood Davis seeing the lion’s share of the throws. Davis has brought in 36 balls from Reed’s arm and he only needs 14 yards to reach the 500-yard plateau.
UTSA Roadrunners
Frank Harris. Okay, thanks for reading and that should wrap up the UTSA side of the preview, right?
I mean, my man is so worth the price of admission and we already know how much he loves going up against the Hilltoppers. All he’s done is score 101 points against them last year, pfft!
Do you know why this total is set all the way up at 72.5 and do you really care? I have zero issues expecting 90 points between these two programs this weekend and Harris is going to have another monster day.
Harris has already accumulated 1.724 passing yards through only 5 games and he leads the best, I aid the best passing attack in the entire nation. Only one team can be #1 and the Roadrunners sit in that spot averaging 365.8 YPG and that’s just through the air.
Brenden Brady and Frank Harris could carry the team in the ground game by themselves. Brady has already ran the ball 79 times averaging just under 4 yards per touch with 4 scoots to the end zone. Mr. Brady also has 10 catches out of the backfield making him versatile and available for all 3 downs.
While the passing offense for WKU is ranked 11th in total yards, the Roadrunners are one spot better at 10th by percentage points. In other words, these two teams can easily put up 500 yards against anyone and they will likely do it all day today!
