2025 Week 11 Preview: UTSA Roadrunners @ South Florida Bulls
South Florida and UTSA face off Thursday night in a matchup highlighted by potent offenses, intensifying the American Conference title race. South Florida (6-2, 3-1 American), coming off a bye week, aims to rebound after its first conference loss in October. The Bulls host as two-touchdown favorites in this Thursday night game.
UTSA (4-4, 2-2 American) enters energized following a strong 48-26 victory over Tulane last Thursday. The Roadrunners seek to upset another conference contender, while South Florida strives for its first American Conference Championship.
UTSA's Recent Performance and Challenges
Last Thursday, UTSA displayed its true potential, dominating Tulane for the entire game. This was the performance expected at the season's start, especially after retaining offensive stars Owen McCown, Robert Henry Jr., and Devin McCuin.
However, this success occurred at the Alamodome, where UTSA is undefeated against conference opponents under head coach Jeff Traylor, holding a 24-0 record including two Conference USA Championship wins. On the road, though, the Roadrunners have struggled, going 1-10 in their last 11 regular-season games away from San Antonio.
This contrast is evident on offense: UTSA has scored 36 or more points in all four home games, but has been limited to 24 or fewer points in all four road games this season.
"UTSA is 24-0 against conference opponents at home under head coach Jeff Traylor, including two Conference USA Championship Game victories."
"The Roadrunners look to derail another conference contender, while USF has its sights set on its first-ever American Conference Championship."
Author's summary: This upcoming game highlights a clash between South Florida's home dominance and UTSA's road struggles, with both teams vying for conference supremacy in a key Thursday night showdown.
