UTSA's defense gave up over 400 yards to Kansas State and dropped their record to 0-3, where Kansas State advanced to 2-1 for the season. UTSA head coach Frank Wilson said, "Unfortunately we did not always execute to the fullest, but I think take away a couple of big-play opportunities, they weren't going methodically down the field and just shoving us around. We held them to some third-down opportunities, but we just couldn't get them off the field."[7]
