🤙 The Official Newsletter For UTSA Athletics, brought to you by J-Prime Steakhouse

Football season is here, Roadrunners Fam. UTSA will kick off its 15th season of football tomorrow (Saturday) at No. 19/21 Texas A&M. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT, and the game will be nationally televised by ESPN. This will mark the third meeting between the Roadrunners and Aggies, who won the previous two games in 2016 (23-10) and 2019 (45-14). UTSA won four of its last five games to finish 2024 with a 7-6 overall record. UTSA is 46-20 (.697) overall in the Jeff Traylor era (since 2020), the ninth-most wins in the FBS and the most among FBS teams from the state of Texas and the American Conference.
