so i finally made my way to a game. first, i'd have to say that i am now not so sure that UTSA needs to invest in an on campus stadium in the near future. the dome turned out to be a nice space for both the tailgating experience and the game itself. the crowd was extremely loud and engaged and responsible for quite a few delay of game and movement penalties. second, UTSA did not seem the least bit prepared to stop frank gore, jr. at QB. he had his way in the first half but eventually his coaches put him in a position to get hurt and that's exactly what happened. he gave it a go to start the 3rd but eventually had to come out. once he was no longer in the game, the tide seemed to change. offensively, harris looked to have had his worst game of the season as many of his throws were off and he was late in seeing his receivers when they got open. and southern miss was keying in on the run so it was not a good time for the passing game to be struggling. also, southern miss looked loose and pumped up even during their warmup drills. i expect that the runners will run into this problem when they play north texas. but before that, UTSA better straighten out some of their issues because if they play against UAB they way they played against southern miss, their unbeaten record will be no more.
I really don't get why you guys were expecting such a drastic drop. It's not like rankings are based on one week. Or like how they play is the only variable in the equation. It would've required a handful of teams ranked below them/just outside the Top 25 to have really impressive wins to jump UTSA because of an "ugly win".
