2025 Week 11 Preview: UTSA Roadrunners @ South Florida Bulls
South Florida and UTSA face off Thursday night in a matchup featuring two potent offenses. The race for the American Conference title is intensifying.
Team Records and Recent Performance
- South Florida Bulls (6-2, 3-1 American) come off a bye week after suffering their first conference loss in October. They enter the game as two-touchdown favorites playing at home.
- UTSA Roadrunners (4-4, 2-2 American) are energized following a dominant 48-26 win over Tulane last Thursday.
UTSA's Season and Challenges
The Roadrunners aim to upset another conference contender. Last week, UTSA showed the potential envisioned at the start of the season, led by offensive stars Owen McCown, Robert Henry Jr., and Devin McCuin.
"UTSA unearthed its true potential last Thursday night, thoroughly dominating Tulane, for all 60 minutes of action."
However, this success came at home in the Alamodome, where UTSA holds a perfect 24-0 record against conference foes under head coach Jeff Traylor, including two Conference USA Championship wins.
Road Performance Concerns
UTSA struggles on the road, winning only one of their last 11 regular season away games. Their offense notably scores 36 or more points at home but struggles to reach 24 points on the road.
"UTSA is 24-0 against conference opponents at home under head coach Jeff Traylor, including two Conference USA Championship Game victories."
"The Roadrunners are a different team on the road, registering a 1-10 record across their last 11 regular season games outside of San Antonio."
South Florida's Ambitions
South Florida looks for a rebound and aims to capture its first-ever American Conference Championship with a strong showing against UTSA.
"The Bulls play host as two-touchdown favorites in a Thursday night spectacle, but their opponent is coming off their best performance yet."
Both teams will test each other's resolve in this crucial conference clash.
Summary: This key American Conference battle features South Florida seeking their first title amid UTSA's contrasting home dominance and road struggles.
