UTSA Football: 2023 Roadrunners Season Preview and Prediction

Coach Andy Mac · June 8, 2023

After back-to-back Conference USA championships, the Roadrunners are setting their sights on a third straight title — but in a different league. Behind rising star head coach Jeff Traylor, UTSA is 30-10 over the last three years and will immediately push Tulane for the top spot in the American Athletic Conference.

The Roadrunners welcome back nine starters on offense, including quarterback Frank Harris, arguably the best player in UTSA history. Harris is back for his fifth season after throwing for 4,063 yards and 32 TDs. Will Stein left to take over as Oregon's play-caller, but don't expect a drop in production with Justin Burke as the offensive coordinator this fall.

Expect a season-ending battle with Tulane to determine the league champion. But could the Nov. 25 showdown in New Orleans be the first of two games between these two teams? With Harris and a loaded offense leading the way, a rematch in the conference title game is a strong possibility.

UTSA will be tested in non-conference play with games at Houston and Tennessee, along with a tricky home date versus Army. However, the road slate in AAC play - at Temple, FAU and North Texas - is very manageable outside of the matchup against Tulane.

As long as Frank Harris is the quarterback, I'm not going to challenge anything they say about UTSA. I do seem to recall, however, they've had a tougher time playing at our place.
