UTSA Roadrunners College Football Preview 2021: What Will Happen, Season Prediction
UTSA flirted with being terrific since rising up into the FBS world back in 2012, but it hasn’t quite been able to get there.
That all could change this year.
It was good out of the gate when it was a member of the WAC, but there were a whole slew of wins against a whole slew of really mediocre teams to build up the early totals.
Offense became optional for a while, a great defense wasn’t quite enough to push through a few decent seasons, and in comes Jeff Traylor to be that extra spark needed last season in his first head coaching gig.
It’s what you want in the opening year of a new regime – a plan.
Of course going to a bowl game and coming up with a winning season was nice, but more than that, UTSA showed what life is probably going to be like under Traylor with a great ground game, a defense that can get into the backfield, and a whole lot of fight in tight games.

And now he’s got a loaded team returning.
UTSA might have the best player in Conference USA in RB Sincere McCormick, the defense is full of veterans who’ll be all over the all-star teams, and the lines are in place to hold up well against a schedule that works out almost perfectly.
There might be a few rocky spots against Illinois, Memphis and a strong WKU team on the road, but the big games against Southern Miss and UAB from the West are at home, and after winning seven games last season, the expectations are reasonably there to do a little more.
That includes at least playing for the Conference USA title, and maybe winning it.
