On Monday morning, the Roadrunners announced via press release that they have agreed to host Army West Point at the Alamodome on Saturday, Oct. 17. UTSA’s football schedule now features 11 total games, six at home

The Roadrunners were initially scheduled to play Old Dominion on Oct. 17, but the Monarchs joined many programs across the nation in cancelling fall sports altogether due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This marks the third change UTSA has made to their 2020 schedule, following the cancellation of their season-opener against LSU and their home-opener against Grambling State. The Roadrunners have since replaced the latter matchup with a game against Stephen F. Austin -- head coach Jeff Traylor’s alma mater -- on Sept. 19.
UTSA is still scheduled to open their 2020 season against Texas State on Sept. 12. No official time has been set for kick off.
