For the second time since the UTSA Roadrunners added football in 2011, the Roadrunners will make their way up I-35 to Austin to face the Texas Longhorns.
But unlike the first time that the two programs met two years ago, Jeff Traylor’s program is trying to find its footing after longtime quarterback Frank Harris moved on from football, multiple other stars graduated, and Traylor’s ability to develop players turned UTSA into a feeder program for larger schools through the NCAA transfer portal.
It’s starting to show in UTSA’s record — after a 7-5 season in Traylor’s first year, the Roadrunners went 12-2 and 11-3 over the next two years before falling to 9-4 last year.
