Following a lackadaisical start that put FIU up 14-0 through the first five minutes, UTSA snaps into game mode to go on a 57-6 barrage and secure their third straight bowl win. The victory also secured the Roadrunners a winning record in 2025, finishing 7-6 for the second straight season. While hoisting hardware is a great way to end the up-and-down season, Jeff Traylor must quickly shift his focus to the most important offseason of his collegiate coaching career - hiring an offensive coordinator and reloading a defense that has seen mass exodus to the transfer portal.
