Statistics
Passing Leaders
Carter, QB, r-Sr: 305 of 500, 4,117 yards, 27 TD/24 INT
Robinson, QB, r-Fr: 6 of 13, 55 yards, 1 TD/2 INT
Notes:
Carter was efficient throughout the season, but was very turnover prone. Led the nation in interceptions, but broke every major UTSA passing record this season.
Robinson came in during mop-up time, but generally did not impress.
Rushing Leaders
Glasco, RB, r-Sr: 294 carries, 1,739 yards, 16 TD
Williams, RB, So: 68 carries, 679 yards, 6 TD
Armstrong, RB, r-Sr: 44 carries, 253 carries, 1 TD
Carter, QB, r-Sr: 101 carries, 249 yards, 1 TD
Notes:
Glasco was our workhorse throughout the season after Williams went down for 6 weeks with an injury. Before that, they were splitting carries. Glasco finished 2nd in the nation in rushing and had the best season for a running back in UTSA history.
Williams provided the lightning to Glasco’s thunder. He impressed early on before suffering a foot injury, sidelining him for 6 weeks. He returned later in the season, but Glasco still got the majority of the carries.
Armstrong was a solid #2 once Williams went down, but didn’t do anything spectacular. Carter also provided solid scrambling ability when the pocket broke down.
Receiving Leaders
Jones, WR, r-Sr: 75 receptions, 1,219 yards, 6 TD
Morgan, TE, r-Jr: 59 receptions, 774 yards, 6 TD
Mack, WR, r-Sr: 29 receptions, 474 yards, 7 TD
Grubb, WR, Jr: 26 receptions, 388 yards, 3 TD
Notes:
Kam Jones continued his excellent UTSA career by breaking his own records from last season. He had a slow start to the season, but caught fire by the fourth game and was unstoppable since then. The trio of Carter/Glasco/Jones was one of the best in the nation statistically.
Morgan was a reliable TE who always managed to catch tough passes in traffic. He suffered a bought of the drops in the later part of the season, but had a huge performance in the bowl game versus Tennessee, especially on the last (unsuccessful) drive. A couple of his drops were wide-open touchdown catches.
Mack and Grubb were solid #2/3 options behind Jones. They alternated roles, but Grubb primarily played in the slot. Mack led the team in touchdown catches primarily because of Jones’ slow start to the season, where Mack caught the majority of his touchdowns.
Defensive Leaders
Johnston, S, r-Sr: 89 tackles, 6 TFL, 1 sack, 1 INT, 7 deflections, 1 FF
Wade, S, Sr: 69 tackles, 2 TFL, 5 INT, 2 deflections
Rogers, DE, r-Sr: 40 tackles, 21 TFL, 12 sacks
Recruiting
Note:
As assistant quarterbacks coach, I let the CPU do all of the recruiting so no house rules applied this year.
Top Signees
4* OT Kyle Rucker
3* S Kevin Abrams
3* RB Eric Williams
3* DT Darius Hardy
3* QB Chad Stanley
Transfers
DE Corey Smith, r-Fr – Arizona State
TE Desean Smith, So – LSU
WR Malachi Dupre, Fr – LSU
DT Jay Arnold, So – Texas A&M
Notes:
I was shocked when I saw Smith and Dupre transfer to UTSA. While they’ll both redshirt in 2015 due to transfer rules, they will be huge pieces to the offense in 2016.
