ORLANDO – In a game pitting high-octane offenses, it’s ironic the biggest run of the game was made by Troy linebacker K.J. Robertson during Troy’s 18-12 comeback Cure Bowl win
With UTSA holding a 12-7 lead on its third series of the second half and knocking on the door for more points, Robertson jumped in front of a Frank Harris pass at the Troy 2-yard line and returned it all the way to the 37 of the Roadrunners. A personal foul against UTSA tacked on 15 more yards to set up Troy at the 22.
Troy would face another 4th-and-2 from the 33 and lined to go for it, but before the ball was snapped UTSA was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct to give the Trojans the ball at the 18. The Troy defense, while bending at times, didn’t break in keeping the Roadrunners from breaking it open. UTSA had 139 yards of total offense in the first half – 94 passing and 45 rushing.
Troy finally got some offense generated late in the half, which was helped by two defensive holding calls on third-down pass plays to keep drives alive.
