UTSA didn’t have the strongest start to the season, but the Roadrunners steadily proved they are one of the best Group of Five teams through a challenging AAC schedule. The Roadrunners (8-4) were a win over Tulane away from reaching the American Athletic Conference Championship.
Meanwhile, Marshall (6-6) started the year with a four-game winning streak before losing five straight. The Thundering Herd bounced back, winning two of their last three to become bowl-eligible.
Now the two teams will face off in the Frisco Bowl.

UTSA vs. Marshall Prediction
I’m picking UTSA to win but for Marshall to cover the spread at +7.5. I also am predicting the game will go Over 46.5 total points.
UTSA is more skilled on both sides of the ball, in my opinion. The Roadrunners were top five in the AAC in both scoring offense and defense this year, while Marshall was outside of the top five in both categories in the Sun Belt.
UTSA also is playing in its home state. However, I do believe Marshall will manage to keep this a one-possession game.
The Thundering Herd scored 35 or more points in two of their last three games, and I think they continue that momentum on offense in this contest.
