Good Morning, Roadrunners Fam. Winners of two straight games, UTSA will open American Conference action on Saturday, Oct. 4, against Temple. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. CT at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+. The Roadrunners and Owls both are coming off an idle week and will enter their third meeting on the gridiron with identical 2-2 records this season.

UTSA is 8-5 all-time in conference openers, including a 4-1 mark under sixth-year head coach Jeff Traylor. Two years ago, the Roadrunners played their first-ever American Conference game against Temple, scoring a 49-34 road triumph. This will mark the fourth straight and 10th time overall that UTSA has opened the league slate away from home.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 One of the Best. UTSA senior running back Robert Henry Jr. just landed on the Maxwell Award Midseason Watch List - a huge nod for college football’s top player. He’s already dominating across the board, topping FBS in rushing yards per game, yards per carry, and all-purpose yards, plus breaking off multiple plays of 70+ yards this season. Just 13 players nationwide made the list!

🔼 Streak Extended. UTSA soccer played Rice to a 1-1 draw last night, adding another point in the American Conference and extending its unbeaten streak to the last eight games! The squad’s lone goal came from Michelle Polo, assisted by Brooklyn Bailey, and goalie Jasmine Kessler added four saves in the match.

Next up for the Roadrunners? UTSA will welcome South Florida on Thursday, Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. as the team celebrates Homecoming, Alumni Day, and the Salute to Educators.

🔼 Hall of Famer. Rudy Davalos, UTSA’s first-ever Athletics Director, is next up on our list of Hall of Fame inductee spotlights! Davalos is a true trailblazer in Roadrunners’ history. Among his career highlights? He led UTSA into NCAA DI status, growing the number of athletics programs from 4 to 15 teams, oversaw the selection of the school’s mascot and colors, and so much more. Davalos is already a member of the San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame, Texas State’s Hall of Honor, and the National Hispanic Hall of Honor.
