The Roadrunners, who are 8-0 this season, go into their bye-week as one of the hottest teams in the nation.
Last week, UTSA made program history by earning their first national rankings in the Associated Press Top 25 and American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Coaches polls. They moved up the polls again after a dominant win against Louisiana Tech.
UTSA is the only undefeated team remaining in Conference USA play.
