South Florida and UTSA face off Thursday night in a matchup highlighting two strong offenses as the American Conference title race intensifies. South Florida (6-2, 3-1 American), coming off a bye week, aims to rebound after suffering its first conference loss in October. The Bulls host the game as two-touchdown favorites, but UTSA brings momentum from its best performance so far.
UTSA showcased its full potential against Tulane, dominating for the entire game. This is the team the Roadrunners anticipated when keeping key offensive players Owen McCown, Robert Henry Jr., and Devin McCuin. However, this success came in the familiar setting of the Alamodome.
“UTSA is 24-0 against conference opponents at home under head coach Jeff Traylor, including two Conference USA Championship Game victories.”
On the road, the Roadrunners’ performance contrasts sharply, holding a 1-10 record in their last 11 regular-season away games. Offensive production drops noticeably outside San Antonio, scoring 36 or more points at home versus 24 points or fewer in each road game.
Thursday night’s game poses a challenge for UTSA to extend their winning ways on the road, while South Florida aims to capitalize on home-field advantage to strengthen their championship bid.
This game is a pivotal American Conference clash where resilient South Florida hosts an energized UTSA squad eager to prove their road capabilities and keep championship hopes alive.
