With the loss of Harris for the season, UTSA has become almost entirely one-dimensional. McCormick is one of the best running backs in C-USA, and they use him a lot. Narcisse is also a much better runner than he is a passer. The Roadrunners have a huge offensive line and they have some talent at the tackle positions with Dunlop and Shannon. They use a lot of zone blocking and try to open holes up the gut or immediately off tackle for McCormick. There are a lot of similarities, really, between what UTSA is running and what Mississippi State did.

UTSA’s downfield passing game is almost non-existent. Narcisse is hitting less than half of his passes and most of their passes are quick hitters or dumpoffs. If they look outside, Strickland is the primary target; a lot of the times they’ll look to the tight end in quick passes right in the middle of the field.. But if they have to throw a lot, they’re in real trouble.

Stop the running game. This is going to be similar to last week, where you’re going to see a lot of RPO and a running back that is the focal point of the offense. UTSA doesn’t do anything tricky in terms of motion or misdirection; they’re going to come right at you. In order to slow that down, the Aggies need to make sure they handle their run fits properly and don’t bite on the wrong guy when UTSA either hands it off or Narcisse keeps it.

The Aggies were +3 in turnovers last week and they have an opportunity to improve on that this week. If they can get the Roadrunners into 2nd and 3rd and long, they are in a very uncomfortable position. The Aggies should be able to get some pressure and UTSA has been sloppy with the football. If A&M wins first down, things go downhill for the Roadrunners offense very fast.
