Game Day: No. 2 Texas Longhorns vs. UTSA Roadrunners

The Southeastern Conference meets the Athletic American Conference today as the No. 2 Texas Longhorns (2-0) are set to take on the UTSA Roadrunners (1-1) at Darrell K. Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium. The Longhorns look to continue their dominance over opposing teams, after scoring 83 points through the first two games while allowing just 12. Steve Sarkisian and his players have a golden opportunity to do that against a UTSA team that has allowed eight touchdowns this season and gives up more than 378 yards of offense per game.

Veteran quarterback and Heisman Trophy frontrunner Quinn Ewers will lead a Texas offense that averages a whopping 478 yards per game and has tallied 11 touchdowns. More impressive for Sarkisian’s team is the red zone production, something they struggled with in previous years. In 11 trips, they have walked away with 10 touchdowns and 1 field goal.

Defensively, the Longhorns have given up just 238 yards per game and one touchdown. Junior defensive back Jaylon Gilbeau leads Pete Kwiatkowski’s unit with 13 total tackles (4 solo and 1 for loss). Keep an eye on sophmore linebacker Anthony Hill Jr., who has amassed 11 total tackles (5 solo) and is likely to increase his production against the Roadrunners.

Texas will serve as the highest ranked opponent UTSA has ever faced in its 14 years as a program.
