ORLANDO, Fla. – The 2022 college football bowl season is here. The 43-game slate kicks off today with two contests, including the UTSA Roadrunners and the Troy Trojans in the Duluth Trading Cure Bowl.

“I mean, it’s a great time,” Cardenas told KSAT 12 sports in Orlando. “I mean, coming from San Antonio it’s a dream come true. I’m glad I could do something for the younger guys in high school still and show them that there’s a chance that could happen and you can do great things coming up here to this level.”
The 11-2 Roadrunners will play the 11-2 Trojans in a contest where something will have to give. UTSA’s offensive can score a lot of points, while the Trojans hang their hat on defense and shutting down the opposition.
“They’re a great team, very physical on defense,” Cardenas said. “Their defense is really, I think, top eight I hear. Their offense is outstanding. They have a bunch of great guys there. It’s going to be a very tough game, a very physical game. We can’t wait.”
This is the first meeting on the football field between UTSA and Troy.
