  • There is no secret that football is important to the state of Texas, and every convincing win or close loss is felt that much more throughout any program or franchise in the state. While recently the expectations and attention has been on programs such as Texas, Texa A&M, Baylor, and recently TCU, it has been San Antonio’s own UTSA Roadrunners that have been one of the more consistent teams in all of College Football. UTSA’s football program is one of the youngest in the FBS, where it began play in 2011. Since the start of the 2021 season, the Roadrunners have won 23 games, captured two conference titles, and are on their way to the American Athletic Conference led by Head Coach Jeff Traylor, who signed a massive long term extension with the team last year. Their recent rise has been one of the more surprising turnarounds in Group of 5 Football, and in today’s video, we’ll be looking at the Rise of UTSA Football, examining how they got this far, and looking at what could be next for the program.

    Great video. I’m from San Antonio and this is just the beginning for Utsa football. San Antonio is the 7 largest city in America and this is OUR pro team. Games are electric. I’m excited to see how much farther the program will grow after this move to the AAC. GO RUNNERS

      Florida fan here but I definitely believe that the American Conference is about to be maybe even more competitive despite UCF, Houston, and Cincinnati leaving. From Tulane on the rise out of nowhere, Memphis is always pretty solid, East Carolina looks decent (a little potential they could be on the rise), and the new additions they’ll have with UTSA, UAB, and North Texas that could make immediate impacts in the conference, it’s going to be very interesting with how the conference goes moving forward. I mean they’re already the best Group Of Five conference that only got better. Charlotte, FAU, and Rice might take some time but I would make the argument that even the worst teams in the conference could still be having no fewer than 3 wins a season.

    Some of us longtime CFB observers have pointed to this program as being something to watch. My moment of conversion came when Arizona State narrowly escaped SA with a win. I predicted a Power 5 win for the following year, and the Roadrunners proceeded to deliver. Look at 'em now; great story similar to the rise of Boise State in the aughts. Lots of good decisions behind this phenomenon. Keep it going, UTSA. You are what is right about the sport. I'd like to see how the 'Runners would fare at the Big House, in the near future.

    As a season ti key holder since 2014, saying “turn around” is funny. No diss or anything but I remember saying to my extended family (Baylor fans, me as well, but when UTSA came around they became the #1) in 2015/16 they are something special. People forget the powerhouseLA tech, used to be up until 2017. UTSA played with so many goood teams early on and hung in. They should have beat ASU. It wasn’t a turn around, traylor boosted our momentum.

    If the Pac12 adds a pod in the southwest including SMU, Rice, Tulane, UTSA would be the best choice. R1 research university and good football. That would make 6 or 8 schools in the Pac12, depending on what Stanford and Cal decide to do. Then the Pac12 adds Mt West schools to get to 12, 14 or 16 teams.

      @@brianvillatoro6588 It is easy to think that, but as long as there is a Pac, there are also contracts tied to them. The current Pac 4 and what I shall call the LaTX 4 that are mentioned above would be a solid conference with the addition of the best MW teams. Certainly SDSU and UNLV for their markets, and CSU & AFA to round out the dozen would be a very viable conference on a par with ACC football (less Clemson and FSU, obviously). The Pac thus has a very finite window to figure all of this out, but they have probably hired the best guy to help get it done. Kliavkoff is toast. Luck is the de facto CEO of the Pac, for now.
