FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- — Owen McCown threw a 74-yard touchdown pass to Robert Henry Jr. with 4:49 remaining, and UTSA then prevented a 2-point conversion attempt to beat Colorado State 17-16 on Saturday night.

Following Henry's go-ahead touchdown, Colorado State's Jackson Brousseau led a 13-play, 75-yard drive capped by a 4-yard touchdown pass to Rocky Beers with 29 seconds left.

Tahj Bullock threw an incomplete pass to Lloyd Avant and the Rams didn't recover the ensuing onside kick.

McCown completed 14 of 27 passes for 173 yards and threw two interceptions. Henry finished with 21 carries for 144 yards that included a 76-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and finished with two receptions for 76 yards for UTSA (2-2).

Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi completed 14 of 25 passes for 176 yards and Brousseau was 10-of-12 passing for 78 yards. Avant ran for 96 yards on 10 carries to lead Colorado State (1-2).

Bullock ran for a 10-yard touchdown for Colorado State and capped a 9-play, 67-yard drive that tied it 10-all with 6:19 to play.
