The Roadrunners (5-3, 1-2) were paced by Ryan Polite who converted 21-of-36 passes for 248 yards and a score, but he was sacked two times and had a pair of attempts picked off as the team suffered a third straight loss after beginning the 2012 campaign with five consecutive victories.

Again, needing less than a minute to get into the end zone to begin the second half, Williams finished off a 72-yard drive with a one-yard run across the goal line. Less than three minutes later it was Joe Hill who did the honors from a yard out for the Aggies, making the score 41-3.

UTSA showed some signs of life late in the meeting with a seven-yard touchdown run by Evans Okotcha and a 23-yard TD pass from Polite to Cole Hicks, but in between Keeton combined with Hill on a 16-yard scoring play to provide the visitors with a comfortable margin of victory.
