UTSA quarterback Owen McCown led the charge, throwing for over 340 yards and two touchdowns, spreading the ball efficiently to his receivers.  FAU kept the game competitive early on, taking advantage of UTSA’s deficiencies, then by the end of 2nd quarter and beginning of the 3rd UTSA’s explosive offense woke up and set the dominant fourth-quarter push, to seal the game.
