SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Sean Ianno kicked a field goal to tie the game with 1:54 left, and Florida International fumbled the ensuing kickoff to set up Ianno’s 39-yard game-winning, last-minute field goal for a 16-13 UTSA victory Saturday night.
The Roadrunners (2-4, 1-1 Conference USA) tied the game at 13 after FIU went three-and-out at its own 12. Glenn Coleman returned Ianno’s kickoff 23 yards before Duke Wheeler forced the fumble and UTSA took possession for what would be the game-winning drive.
Ianno went 3-of-3 on field goals for the night, the longest at 42 yards.
Both teams struggled with turnovers; each fumbled three times. Two of the Roadrunners’ fumbles led to FIU field goals, and the third led to the Golden Panthers’ only touchdown after UTSA fumbled a punt with 3:54 left in the first half.
Alex McGough threw for 141 yards and one touchdown for FIU (3-4, 2-1).
