I think Jeff Traylor will have UTSA in the top 20 before long

 

[SpaceRaider]

While MT was struggling on the road against VaTech, utsa was getting their 2nd win of the season, their home opener against Lamar.

Recapping UTSA’s First Program Shutout

In its 2021 home opener, UTSA cruised to a 54-point rout of FCS Lamar University to improve to 2-0.

[Brew_Raider]

Maybe we catch them looking ahead to Memphis

 

[SpaceRaider]

from a preseason preview of utsa:

Middle Tennessee. The rare conference game during the out-of-conference schedule, Middle Tennessee comes into San Antonio again after losing to UTSA in 2020. The Blue Raiders ended their season 3-6 and are looking to return to their competitive days under head coach Rick Stockstill. Last year, the Roadrunners narrowly won 37-35 and the team will be looking to avoid a similar performance. Like last year, UTSA will play Middle Tennessee after a home game against an FCS opponent while Middle Tennessee will be coming off a road game against a stronger FBS opponent. If there is any noticeable difference this time, it is that UTSA has the 2020 season under its belt, and the team will be more familiar with Jeff Traylor’s playbook than it was previously. UTSA should be in control throughout the game and will likely walk away with a comfortable win.

Prediction: Win

 

[sWiley]

Disagree with the line and FPI predictor.

This should be a hard fought game and a FG one way or the other assuming one team doesn't feed the other a bunch of turnovers.

Kicking game and special teams will decide this one. They have a top G5 punter and a top G5 FG kicker. I like our punter but we still havn't attempted a FG, so big unknown there. I'm assuming they can cover a kick/punt and don't allow 50 yards every other kick/punt which is something we clearly don't know how to do.

I think this is a close loss for us and special teams is what decides this one (Again, assuming one team doesn't feed the other a bunch of turn overs)

The Roadrunners have to be scared, when you see a surge like that.

I’ll root for our guys to win. Maybe Dearmon is the guy to pull this off.

We'll see. I hope so, but I have no faith in the head coach, a win would be in spite of the HC.

Well, Rick's teams rarely play well on the road, and UTSA is seen as an up-and-coming program.

Since MT isn't playing vandy we know that Rick won't roll over. He will simply play not to lose.

 

[sWiley]

Now 10.5 where I book.

I wanted to load up at 13 but wanted to wait a little closer to game time. Didn't think it would drop this much. Frustrating

 

[Blue_H]

I thought we had a decent showing at Virginia Tech. I don't think this game is going to be quite the gimme for UTSA that a lot of folks are saying. If Dearmon can resurrect our running game, we COULD pull this one off. That's a big "could". Of course being a diehard fan, I'm always ready for a CRS special.

 

[SpaceRaider]

injury report per Chip on radio pre-game:

Mobley, Lane, DQ thomas, magwood all out.

Q Riley is back J Jackson is back, Ali also back
