UTSA’s Title Hopes Hinge on October Gauntlet and I-35 Revenge
A deep dive into the 2025 schedule for the UTSA Roadrunners as Jeff Traylor hopes to bring the program back into AAC contention after an inconsistent 2024.
Texas State has been playing football since 1904, when it was known as Southwest Texas State Normal School. It's grown to become the fifth-largest university in the state, but the football program still has some growing to do, having only joined the FBS ranks in 2012. The Bobcats' peak as a program came under Wacker when Texas State won back-to-back Division II national championships in 1981 and 82.
