“We have a good team, but this is undoubtedly our toughest schedule since I’ve gotten here,” UTSA Head Coach Jeff Traylor said. On Saturday, the Roadrunners take on the University of Houston Cougars to begin their 12th season.
UTSA quarterback Frank Harris trains with coaches during a practice last week. Harris is entering his final season with the Roadrunners.The third day of September holds a special place in the memory of those around the University of Texas at San Antonio football program. It was on that day in 2011 that UTSA played its first football game, defeating Northeastern State 31-3 before 56,743 at the Alamodome.
“We have a good team, but this is undoubtedly our toughest schedule since I’ve gotten here,” UTSA Head Coach Jeff Traylor said. “It’s an exciting schedule if you’re a fan. What a great game to start it off with — they’ve done such a great job there at Houston.” Jeff Traylor, UTSA’s head coach, is preparing his team for the season opener set for Saturday, Sept. 3, against the University of Houston.UTSA opens conference play on the road against Middle Tennessee on Sept. 30. The Roadrunners’ first home conference game will be Oct. 8 when they welcome Western Kentucky to the Alamodome for the first time since the conference championship game last December.
Also returning on offense is tight end Oscar Cardenas. Cardenas, formerly of Brandeis High School, earned hero status last season when he caught the winning touchdown pass in a 34-31 thriller over the University of Alabama-Birmingham. That touchdown clinched UTSA’s spot in the conference championship game.
A member of the 2019 LSU team that won the national championship, Evans was close to jumping to the Houston Cougars before an official visit to UTSA changed his mind. “I had never had a one-on-one like that before,” Evans said. “Being here it felt like home to me. I had to come visit it and see for myself what it was like.”
