2025 Week 11 Preview: UTSA Roadrunners at South Florida Bulls
South Florida and UTSA face off Thursday night in a showdown of dynamic offenses as the American Conference title race intensifies. South Florida (6-2, 3-1 American), returning from a bye week, looks to rebound after their first conference loss in October. The Bulls are favored by two touchdowns in this Thursday night contest.
UTSA (4-4, 2-2 American) comes in energized following a commanding 48-26 victory over Tulane last Thursday. The Roadrunners aim to upset another conference contender, while South Florida pursues its first-ever American Conference Championship.
UTSA’s Strengths and Challenges
Last Thursday, UTSA showcased the team they envisioned at the start of the season, led by offensive standouts Owen McCown, Robert Henry Jr., and Devin McCuin. Their dominance over Tulane was apparent for all 60 minutes, but it took place at home in the Alamodome.
Under head coach Jeff Traylor, UTSA is unbeaten in conference home games with a 24-0 record, including two Conference USA Championship wins. However, their road record tells a different story, with just one win in their last 11 road games. This discrepancy is evident offensively, as the Roadrunners have scored 36 or more points in all four home games but 24 or fewer in all four road games.
The team “finally materialized against the Green Wave,” reflecting the potential UTSA hoped to achieve when the season began.
South Florida’s Goals
The Bulls host with momentum and the motivation to secure a bounce-back victory and solidify their standing in the conference race.
Game Outlook
- South Florida is favored by two touchdowns.
- UTSA seeks to prove their road struggles are behind them.
- The game is a key moment in the battle for the American Conference title.
