Maybe the Alamodome will be a bit kinder this go-around.
In 2014, just three years removed from their debut season, UTSA was looking to make a big splash in the college football world. The Roadrunners were returning a senior-laden team (to say the least) and the most starters in the country (19) from a season in which they nearly won the C-USA West. Midway through September they were touting a very respectable 1-1 record after crushing a consistently good Houston team and losing by a field goal on the road to eventual Pac-12 South champion Arizona. After playing a fairly competitive game against them in 2013, a win against an Oklahoma State team with plenty of question marks seemed anything but out of the question.
