Lightning Couldn’t Strike Twice: UTSA Climbs to #9 After Spanking CSU 48-3 | Audio Blog

Colorado State came to San Antonio undefeated, confident, and carrying the memory of last season’s scare in Fort Collins.

UTSA sent them home with a receipt.

In this audio blog, we break down the Roadrunners’ 48–3 demolition of CSU, Wayshawn Parker’s monster night, Owen McCown’s steady control of the offense, Jalen Smith stepping up through injuries, and a defensive performance that produced nine sacks, three interceptions, and another game without allowing a touchdown.

The Roadrunners are now 4–0, ranked #9 in the country, riding a 21-game winning streak, and carrying a defense that still has not allowed an opponent into the end zone this season.

Lightning couldn’t strike twice.

It got sacked nine times.
