UTSA quarterback Owen McCown, who had a 19-yard scramble to help spark a two-minute drive in a 31-24 win over USF: “Man, I feel super great, super healthy. … To be able to be myself, like I know I can be, and the athlete that I am, is super comforting.”

UTSA linebacker Owen Pewee after a 31-24 win over USF: “I feel like we’re made for this. I feel like this is a different team this year, so I feel like it was going to be good. We had a lot of confidence going to this game.”

UTSA coach Jeff Traylor, on the Alamodome crowd noise allegations: “Those coaches say it. I don't think they really believe that. I mean, the president that hired me and the AD that hired me, they would never do that. Jeff Traylor would find a way to pump noise in here. Those two won't let me.”

UTSA coach Jeff Traylor, on delivering in close games: “We're calm in the moment and our kids listen. You can tell they really believe every word we tell them, and they go out there and execute. You don't get groups like that very much, man. They’re just special, special humans.”

A look around at a pretty sparse crowd in the Alamodome as UTSA (4-1, 1-0 American) and USF (4-1, 1-1) get underway. Roadrunners aiming to continue their best start since 2021. Game is airing on ESPN. UTSA wins the toss and defers.

Ben Rios looked healthy going through some early warmups, but it appears UTSA will be going with Davion Hurth at left guard against USF. Jonah Miller, who played only the second half last week, also appeared to be with the first team at left tackle.

UTSA quarterback Owen McCown after a 16-14 win against Rice: “We know that's not up to our standard, but it's a team game. And we have a hell of a defense, and super happy they're on our team. We open conference play 1-0 on the road, haven't done that in two years, so it's big time.”

UTSA defensive lineman Jeremiah Bailey after a 16-14 win against Rice: “We know what we have, and we know our full potential, and it hasn't came out yet. And so when things happen like this, even in a win, it's just the competitor in us that we left a lot out there. But we do enjoy the win”

UTSA coach Jeff Traylor after a 16-14 win against Rice: “I had to juice them up in there because nobody was happy. They want to play better. They're just wired differently. But once they saw the triangle of toughness travels dance, they had a blast.”

UTSA and Rice are underway from what is now First Community Stadium in Houston. Owls win the toss and elect to receive, so Roadrunners kick off to get us started.

UTSA closing out warmups ahead of tonight’s matchup at Rice. Looks like MJ Senegal will start at guard in place of Ben Rios, who was questionable on the availability report. Conditions on the field are much warmer and more uncomfortable than I expected, because of the humidity.

UTSA receiver Mekhi Anderson after a 59-45 win against Colorado State: “Just great vibes in the locker room. I love seeing my guys very happy in there and just celebrating the win. There's nothing better than being home and just celebrating a big win.”

UTSA linebacker Darion White, on the defense in a 59-45 win against Colorado State: “I'm happy we got the dub, but not satisfied, coming from a defensive standpoint. We gave up too many points. Too many errors in some points. But we can get better.”

UTSA quarterback Owen McCown, on rallying from an early deficit to beat Colorado State: “It was a little bit of shock at first, but then the guys just don't blink. You saw it, it came right back out and executed on offense really well.”

UTSA coach Jeff Traylor, on rallying from down 14-0 early and surviving a shootout with Colorado State: “There's going to be a lot of games like this one. Hold on. Y'all's hair is going to look like mine before the season's up.”

UTSA (2-1) is underway against Colorado State (2-1) in the Alamodome. As expected, crowd is a little more sparse than usual to start this 11 a.m. kickoff.

121

UTSA QB Owen McCown: “Losing 30-6 is never good, but we hung in there. If we get rid of those penalties and get rolling a little bit on offense, we're right there with those guys. And so there's a little boost of confidence. It's hard to say losing 30-6, but we fought hard.”

161

UTSA linebacker Brandon Tucker, on the big hits against Arch Manning and the confidence boost from playing Texas: “We just played the number one team, arguably the best college football team. And so I think no matter what, we know we can compete with whoever.”

Coach Jeff Traylor after UTSA’s 30-6 loss at No. 1 Texas: “I didn't come here to lose close and be respected. I came here to win championships and change kids' lives. … We played championship defense tonight. That's big, big sign.”

A little late to post with the hot start here, but obligatory shot just before kickoff as UTSA meets No. 1 Texas at Royal-Memorial Stadium in Austin.

UTSA coach Jeff Traylor’s initial thoughts following a 45-16 win against UTRGV to kick off the season: “There were some good things. There were some bad things. Typical first game, you need to play, but you're probably not ready to play.”

UTSA quarterback Owen McCown, on how he felt leading the offense in Saturday’s opener after struggling through injuries last year: “I don't feel limited, so just kind of feel free and ready to go.”

UTSA corner Ahamad Chapman, on the experience of playing with his brother, his pick six, and Asaad’s near interception: “It's going to happen all year. I'm telling y'all.”

UTSA running back Will Henderson on his long touchdown run and the way everything flowed under new offensive coordinator Rick Bowie. “It was just easy. You don’t have to think too much. You just react and play.”

A look around the Alamodome as UTSA kicks off the 2026 season against UTRGV. Expect attendance to be announced at 30,000+. Roadrunners win the toss and defer, so Vaqueros will have the ball first.

Warmups completed and UTSA heads back into the locker room with less than 30 minutes to go before kickoff against UTRGV. Looks like A’Marion Breland and Jaylen Garth will start at tackle for the Roadrunners. Depth chart otherwise holds to form.

Greg Luca @gregluca.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Good to be back for another year. About 90 minutes to kickoff.

UTSA cornerbacks running through drills during preseason practice Tuesday at the RACE facility. Should be an interesting group with the Chapman twins Ahamad (18) and Asaad (17) joined by the returning RJ Lester (24) and Zach Morris (20), who both missed time last season.

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson, on facing a deficit: “Our competitive response has been consistent, it feels like, for most of the season, and our guys are made of the right stuff. … It’s not easy, and this will probably be the most difficult one all year, but it’s what we’ll strive to do here tonight.”

UTSA opens the third week of spring practice with temperatures in the low 50s on a breezy morning at the RACE facility. Probably not a bad time for the Roadrunners safeties to be working on some ball security.
