UTSA was run out of Boca Raton, 60-29, the first time a Jeff Traylor team has given up 60. Jared and Javi dig into what went wrong: a physicality gap on both lines, a bye-week letdown, FAU's stellar game plan, a rough receiver night, a run defense without Brandon Tucker, and a special teams and discipline meltdown.

Then we turn to the biggest game on the schedule: UTSA vs. UNT at the Alamodome with a spot in the conference title game on the line. We break down Neal Brown's ten-day roster rebuild, Tayven Jackson, Jaheim White and Justin Stevenson, UTSA's home-underdog track record, and our score predictions.

The Roadrunners are entering the final stretch of the regular season and looking to use a "November to Remember" to play their way into the conference championship game and a potential playoff big. Following a shortened bye week to rest up, the Roadrunners now make their longest trip of the season to face the FAU Owls on a Thursday night in Boca Raton. Long-time collaborator Cyrus Smith makes his return to the pod to preview the Owls' high-flying offense and bottom-of-the-barrel defense.

The Roadrunners showed out in the Big Easy, demolishing Tulane 42-19 despite a game-opening pick six. This resounding win likely left a long term hurt on the Green Wave. We analyze UTSA's performance and what it means for the American title run, as well as discuss Jared's travel experience in NOLA. Will the big win have a negative side effect? The Baylor job has opened up, putting Jeff Traylor firmly in the Bears' sights.

The Roadrunners now stand at 6-1 at the top of the conference standings. Can they continue their gritty ways in New Orleans against Will Hall's Tulane squad this week?

Brian Hartline rattled a hornet's nest and the Roadrunners responded to the provocation in kind with a last-minute win over USF in a rocking Alamodome. We explain why Thursday night was the best performance of the season from UTSA. Next up is a Navy team who is certainly better than their 2-3 record. Did UTSA jump the gun by giving out single digit jerseys mid-season? Much to discuss on this episode. Be sure to watch on video for lots of multi-media goodies!

Rice's defense shut out UTSA in the second half in Houston, but 16 points were enough for the Roadrunners to get out to a 1-0 record in conference play. The offense struggled, but UTSA's defensive front really impressed. Next up is a 4-1 USF team who has struggled to put bad teams away despite a $20M roster. Are the Bulls due for a break out, or can UTSA lean on Alamodome magic to continue their hot start to 2026?

Colorado State got off to an extremely quick 14-0 lead over UTSA, but the Roadrunners hardly flinched, using a 35 point run to defeat the Rams 59-45 in the highest scoring game in program history. Jeff Traylor's squad seems well positioned to make a run at the conference title this year, starting with the Rice Owls in Houston.

The Roadrunners' defense showed up in a big way under the bright lights in Austin, frustrating Arch Manning and the #1 Longhorns with a stingy secondary. While Owen McCown and the offense couldn't click into gear, UTSA fans have to be feeling good about their chances this year coming out of this contest. Up next is a home match-up against a CSU team who may have just lost their starting quarterback. Can UTSA capitalize?

Owen McCown and the UTSA Roadrunners put the past behind them as they went on the road and secured a major victory for the program, coming from behind to defeat the Texas State Bobcats in San Marcos with a clutch game-ending drive. Unfortunately the Roadrunners will have a difficult time turning that inspiring win into sustainable momentum as they'll face the #1 team in the nation this week. We preview the Texas Longhorns with an assist from our old friend Eric Henry, and discuss whether playing this series still makes sense in 2026.
