It's really hard to blow a 42-17 lead with just 20 minutes left in a game, but the Roadrunners found a way to blow it. The explanation for the shocking letdown is simple -- UTSA fell victim to the same exact same issues that they haven't been able to address all season long. Now a loaded Memphis roster comes to town looking to take advantage of an …

Injuries forced UTSA to play the young guns against FAU, and the underclassmen showed up in a big way. UTSA played their cleanest and most complete game of the season, but is is a sustainable improvement for the struggling team? Taking care of business on a road trip to Tulsa is the next step towards bowl eligibility. 01:43 - UTSA proved us wrong b…

Both UTSA and FAU come into this weekend contest with 2-4 records, as the two program's winning head coaches have struggled to get their team in the win column this season. The Owls are stingy on pass defense, and have a solid run game. We dive into the match up ahead of this Saturday's game in Episode 259. 2:53 - UTSA and FAU's seasons have had a …

The Rice Owls defeated the UTSA Roadrunners for the first time in a decade, as a miracle catch lifted the home team to victory in the final seconds. It was a gut punch, but honestly a fitting ending for a team that didn't deserve to win given their school-record 16 penalties. Even more concerning was the team's poor behavior after the loss, as the …

The Roadrunners will travel to Rice this week to try to find some confidence and a pulse on offense. Rice's offense is every bit as points-challenged as UTSA's so don't expect fireworks in Houston on Saturday. Can UTSA play clean and let their talent flourish? Video: https://youtu.be/EHzCyAyCQkA

ECU did all they could to give UTSA a chance to win this conference opener, but UTSA's offense squandered chance after chance to tie the game in the second half. Penalties and mental miscues spelled UTSA's doom once again, as a great game from the defense went to waste. 0:00:45 - Recapping an extremely frustrating loss for UTSA 0:12:18 - Why last S…

UTSA welcomed Houston Christian to the Alamodome this past weekend and used the opportunity against an FCS opponent to sharpen their approach on both sides of the ball. While it wasn't a perfectly clean showing, the Roadrunners handled business and mostly looked good doing it as UTSA dominated in the trenches and created explosive plays. Following …

Best 56-7 loss ever? Yeah, Texas really was that good. But the Roadrunners played pretty well within their own abilities. The run game bounced back, the defense played tough up front, and the effort was better across the board. This loss could be a building block for better things if UTSA can flourish against Houston Christian this week. Video: htt…

UTSA pretty much never got off the bus in San Marcos, as the Bobcats pulverized the Roadrunners to earn their first ever win in the I-35 Showdown in convincing fashion.

UTSA raced out to a 21-3 lead over Kennesaw State then things got pretty sloppy for the Roadrunners as penalties kept the Owls in the game.

We break down the key takeaways from the Alamodome as UTSA stumble…

The Roadrunners continue to win ballgames, but a close 4-2 win over TAMU-CC shows that this UTSA team still has some finer points to smooth out should they expect to win the conference tournament. This weekend they'll face a lowly-ranked UAB squad that sports some impressive pitching. UTSA will need to be sharply defensively and on the basepaths to…

Alabama's run to the Final Four finally came to an end and UTSA's new head basketball coach is in San Antonio and ready to hit the ground running. We react to Claunch's introductory press conference as the Roadrunners welcomed their newest coach on campus.

After some careless Aggie errors gave UTSA a comfortable lead in the early innings, it looked like UTSA was heading towards a road win in College Station for the second straight season. Instead, the Roadrunners arguably left a middle reliever in for two long, then the Aggies ripped out UTSA's heart with a walk-off homerun in the bottom of the 9th. …

UTSA continued to struggle against opponents from the Western Athletic Conference as the Abilene Christian Wildcats defeated the Roadrunners for the second straight year.

If there was any doubt that Tarleton State's walk-off grand slam in February left a bad taste in UTSA's mouths, well Wednesday's outcome should answer that.
