UTSA Edges Colorado State 17-16 With Henry Jr.'s 74-Yard TD

UTSA narrowly defeated Colorado State 17-16 in a thrilling college football game highlighted by Robert Henry Jr.'s exceptional performance, including a 76-yard rushing touchdown and a 74-yard touchdown reception. Henry, the nation's leading rusher entering the weekend, accounted for both of UTSA's scores and finished with 144 rushing yards on 21 carries. UTSA quarterback Owen McCown contributed with a crucial 74-yard touchdown pass to Henry and completed 14 of 27 passes for 173 yards. Colorado State mounted a late comeback with a touchdown pass from Jackson Brousseau to Rocky Beers, but their failed two-point conversion attempt sealed their fate. Despite outgaining UTSA in total yards, Colorado State could not overcome UTSA's defensive efforts, including key sacks led by Nnanna Anyanwu. UTSA coach Jeff Traylor praised the team's preparation and resilience, noting the challenges posed by Colorado State's aggressive defense and the distractions faced by players like Henry, who recently recovered his stolen car but maintained his focus on the field.
