UTSA beat Navy 38-34 on Saturday as Owen McCown hit A'Marion Peterson on a 41-yard touchdown pass with 2:24 remaining to give the Roadrunners a lead they would not relinquish.
McCown finished 28 of 38 for 359 yards and three touchdowns, completing passes to 10 different receivers in the comeback win. For Navy, Jackson Gutierrez accounted for four total touchdowns, rushing 21 times for 139 yards and two scores while completing 3 of 7 passes for 120 yards and two more touchdowns. Jordan Collins caught two of those passes for 117 yards and both aerial scores, including a 92-yard reception.
Gutierrez also contributed on the ground with a long run of 53 yards, and backup quarterback Braxton Woodson added 73 rushing yards on five carries with a touchdown as the Midshipmen ran for 294 yards as a team. UTSA trailed at some point before McCown orchestrated the decisive drive, capping it with the Peterson connection that covered 41 yards and put the Roadrunners ahead for good.
Navy, which outgained UTSA on the ground despite the loss, will look to regroup when it hosts North Texas on Saturday, October 24.
