SAN ANTONIO -- UTSA is quickly developing a reputation as a thorn in North Texas' side.
The upstart program knocked the Mean Green out of the race for the Conference USA title back in 2013, UNT's only winning season in the last 11 years.
The Roadrunners handed the Mean Green a 31-17 loss on Saturday at the Alamodome that wasn't nearly as damaging, but was painful nonetheless.
UNT came into its game against UTSA riding a wave of momentum after winning two straight, including an upset win at Army. That momentum was gone in a flash after UNT (4-4, 2-2) ran into a tough UTSA defense.
