LA Tech enters the fourth quarter a score behind the tenacious Roadrunners and needs a miracle as UTSA holds the ball with under two minutes to play - and gets it as a digital Kevin Kisseberth returns a fumble recovery 12 yards for the tying score with 1:41 remaining and the game would enter overtime. The Bulldogs would win the coin flip and elect to go on defense first, yielding a 38-yard field goal but the LA Tech offense struggles to move the ball and settles for a field goal as well. On offense first in the second overtime period, the Bulldogs move the ball methodically inside the five and finally reach the end zone as DigiDixon pounds the ball in from two yards out. During UTSA's possession the Roadrunners go for the end zone but a digital Le'Vander Liggins picks off a digital Eric Soza in the end zone sealing the win for the Bulldogs. Liggins finishes the game with 13 total tackles with one for a loss, assisting on a sack and netting that interception. | Scoring Summary | | FIRST QUARTER | | 10:14 | LA Tech | B.
