COLLEGE STATION - Texas A&M is looking to collect their third-straight victory with a win over UTSA. The Roadrunners are coming off a bye week, where they defeated A&M neighbor Rice in a close battle at the Alamodome. 

The Aggies have seen massive success against Non-Power 5 opponents this season. The team began the year off with 49-7 victory over Texas State and followed up two weeks later with a 62-3 win over Lamar. Now, the Aggies will have the opportunity to improve to 6-3 on the year, becoming bowl eligible for the 11th consecutive season.

FIRST QUARTER

- The Roadrunners would begin the game on offense. Quarterback Lowell Narcisse and running back Sincere McCormick would each pick up first downs. Following that, the Aggies calmed down, allowing one more yard and forcing UTSA to punt. 

- Not the start Kellen Mond was looking for. The Aggies would go three-and-out on their opening drive with an incompletion from the junior. Roadrunners' cornerback Cassius Grady also would have a blitz off the edge, leading to a six-yard loss. 

- Despite being the underdogs, UTSA will not go down easy. Narcisse would connect with McCormick for a 44-yard gain, putting the Roadrunners in the red zone. Two plays later, the dual-threat quarterback would keep it himself to give UTSA the early lead.

Scoring Drive: (6 plays, 67 yards, 2:37)

- Texas A&M needed to respond quickly. Well, they did just that. One play into the drive and Isaiah Spiller broke free for a 60-yard touchdown run. The Aggies tie it up at Kyle Field. 

Texas A&M 7, UTSA 7 

Scoring Drive: (1 play, 60 yards, 00:17)

- The Roadrunners were able to pick up a first down thanks to a nice catch from Gavin Sharp. Andre White Jr. would pressure Narcisse to run on third down, leading to another punt for UTSA.

- The Aggies take a risk on fourth down and pick up the extra yard thanks to Spiller. Three plays later, Cordarrian Richardson would break free for 19 yards and score, giving the Aggies a 14-7 lead at home. 

Texas A&M 14, UTSA 7 

Scoring Drive: (9 plays, 63 yards, 4:14)

- McCormick continues to be a problem on the ground against A&M. The freshman rushed for 27 yards to begin the drive while Narcisse would follow that up with an 8-yard run. San Antonio native DeMarvin Leal would collect his first sack of the day, leading to the end of the first quarter. 

SECOND QUARTER

- One play down leads to an incompletion. The Aggies pretty much begin the second quarter with the ball. 

- Kendrick Rogers emerged this drive for the A&M passing attack. He started the drive with two catches for 25 yards. That would be the end of the story as Mond and his receivers couldn't connect. UTSA ball.

- A Michael Clemons face mask call would tack on 15 yards following a sack. UTSA would go for it on fourth down, picking up the sole yard. A timeout called by A&M would negate another fourth-down stop. It wouldn't matter as a false start would lead to a punt from the Roadrunners. 

- Mond would be sacked for an 8-yard loss, leading to a third and long. Spiller collected 10 yards, but it wasn't enough for the first. Another Braden Mann punt. 

- Narcisse tried to convert, but quality coverage stuffed the Roadrunners three straight plays. It's go-time for the Aggies. 

- The freshman duo came to give the Aggies a commanding lead. Ainias Smith would juke his way open for 25 yards, setting up A&M inside the red zone. One play later, Jalen Wydermyer would be targeted for the first time on a 7-yard touchdown catch. The Aggies will get the ball following the half as well. 

Texas A&M 21, UTSA 7 

Scoring Drive: (4 plays, 42 yards, 1:16) 

- The Roadrunners take a knee and we head to the locker room. 

HALFTIME: Texas A&M 21, UTSA 7 

THIRD QUARTER

- Wydermyer continued his recent success with a 13-yard pickup to put the Aggies at midfield. Spiller would cross the 100-yard mark on short yard run. One play later, he'd rush 50 yards into the end zone to extend the Aggies' lead. Spiller currently has 153 yard on the day. 

Texas A&M 28, UTSA 7 

Scoring Drive: (5 plays, 60 yards, 2:35)

- Narcisse continues to be a pain in the Aggies' side thanks to his dual-threat style. On third down, the former LSU quarterback broke free for a 13-yard pickup to keep the drive alive. He would leave following an Anthony Hines tackle on this down. Aggie ball with 10 minutes to go in the third quarter. 

- Spiller broke free down the sideline for 42 yards and passed 200 total for the day. The Aggies converted for a first down thanks to the freshman, keeping the drive alive late. Wydermyer showed off his basketball background a catch 21 yards before Spiller would complete the trifecta for an 8-yard score. 

Texas A&M 35, UTSA 7 

Scoring Drive: (9 plays, 94 yards, 4:50)

- With Narcisse out, third-string quarterback Jordan Weeks entered the game. The freshman would lead the team 50 yards downfield, but a third down sack by Keldrick Carper ended any chance of scoring. The Roadrunners would punt again. 

FOURTH QUARTER

- Mond connected with Jhmond Ausbon for a 20 yards before finding Wydermyer down at the goal line. Keeping it himself, the Aggies would take a 42-7 lead to begin the quarter. 

Texas A&M 42, UTSA 7 

Scoring Drive: (8 plays, 73 yards, 3:32)

- The Roadrunners were out of options. On fourth and short, they went for it and were stuffed. The Aggies get the ball at great field position. 

- With second stringers in, the Aggies would settle for a 45-yard field goal from Seth Small. A&M adds to their lead. 

Texas A&M 45, UTSA 7

Scoring Drive: (7 plays, 52 yards, 3:03) 

- It's a punt for UTSA. 

- Not what you want to see from your potential future starter. Zach Calzada would throw into double coverage, leading to a 58-yard interception returned for touchdown by Dadrian Taylor. At least the Roadrunners were able to score somehow. 

Texas A&M 45, UTSA 14  

Scoring Drive: (6 plays, 29 yards, 3:03)
