When the Texas Longhorns scheduled the UTSA Roadrunners, I am not sure they expected the game to be this significant.
UTSA head coach Jeff Traylor has dramatically improved the UTSA program in his short time in San Antonio. The Roadrunners have an all-time record of 65-69 since the program started in 2011. Since Traylor took over as head coach in 2020, they are 20-8 with a Conference USA title last year.
Texas has not been as successful as Saturday’s opponent the last two years. The Longhorns went 7-3 in 2020 before firing Tom Herman for Steve Sarkisian. Nevertheless, based on this year’s performances, Texas looks to have a significant advantage over the Roadrunners this week.
Let’s look at a few of the biggest storylines heading into the game.
