SAN ANTONIO — Frank Harris threw two touchdown passes and scampered into the endzone for two more scores as UTSA defeated Middle Tennessee in Murfreesboro Friday to open conference play.
The Roadrunners improved to 3-2 with the win, which saw the Lightning pull to within 7 points when Zeke Rankin nailed a 31-yard field goal midway through the second quarter. That's as close as they would get as UTSA's offense kept its foot on the gas for the rest of the game, putting it out of Middle Tennessee's reach when Harris scored from one yard out in the third quarter to put his team up, 38-20.
The game also saw a first for UTSA football, with Harris notching the first 400-yard passing performance in program history.
The 'Runners have outscored their opponents 97-54 over their past two matchups. Up next: UTSA gets the weekend off before returning to the Alamodome on Oct. 8 for a faceoff against Western Kentucky, against whom they're 2-1.
