UTSA prepares for North Texas; Sturm projected to start at QB

[Harry]

SAN ANTONIO — Sophomore Bob Sturm is expected to make his third straight start at quarterback for the struggling UTSA Roadrunners this week.

UTSA coach Larry Coker said the walk-on from Goliad would get the call as the starter at North Texas in a Conference USA West Division game, as No. 1 Blake Bogenschutz continues his recovery from concussion symptoms.

Bogenschutz suffered the injury on Oct. 3 during the fourth quarter of a UTSA victory at UTEP, and he hasn’t practiced since.

Asked if the redshirt freshman from Carthage could be out for the season, Coker declined to speculate.

“I don’t know that,” Coker said. “It’s going to be up to the physicians. It’s totally out of my hands, and it should be.”

The game will be played Saturday night in Denton, a Halloween night match between two struggling, Texas-based FBS programs.

Wracked with injuries, UTSA (1-6, 1-2 in C-USA) is off to its slowest start in five years as a football program, while North Texas (0-7, 0-4) has already experienced the trauma of a coaching change.

Here's to hoping we can get up on UTSA's beat up football squad.  If not...hello, 0-12.
