Key Player to Watch: Robert Henry Jr.
"Henry wasn't the star in the Roadrunners’ win over Tulane, but remains their most reliable weapon. The dynamic running back has rushed for 955 yards and nine touchdowns this season. Only two backs have more rushing yards, but Henry averages over 2.0 yards per carry more than each of them."
Henry’s running ability is crucial to stabilizing UTSA’s offense, especially facing the AAC’s second-strongest run defense.
Summary
South Florida aims to bounce back and secure a strong home win, but UTSA’s powerful rushing attack could keep the game competitive.
