Also selected for a national broadcast was their home game versus South Florida, which will be played Friday, Nov. 17. That game will start at 8 p.m. and air on ESPN2.
The team is getting ready for its first season of play in what will be a new-look American Athletic Conference.
The Roadrunners are coming off an 11-3 season that saw them play in a bowl game for the third year in a row.
Head Coach Jeff Traylor, a two-time Conference USA Coach of the Year, has led the Roadrunners to a 30-10 record in his first three years at the helm. He has the most wins in program history and the best winning percentage (.750) by a coach ever for UTSA.
Quarterback Frank Harris returns for what will be a final season after being selected as a semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien Award for the nation’s top collegiate quarterback.
Harris completed 328 of 471 passes (69.6%) for 4,063 yards and 32 TDs, all school records and added 602 rushing yards — also a program record for a QB — and scored nine times on the ground en route to first-team all-league accolades.
Harris is 31-11 as UTSA’s starting quarterback.
