Just six years after starting up a football program from scratch, the UTSA Roadrunners will be playing in a bowl game. UTSA tied the NCAA record for fastest start up to reach a bowl game after finishing in second place in Conference USA western division. Led by first year head coach Frank Wilson, the Roadrunners were a surprise contender this year despite employing a very young roster full of first-time starters.
The Roadrunners will be traveling to Albuquerque for the Gildan New Mexico Bowl. Kickoff is set for 1 pm CST on Saturday, December 17th. Advanced weather forecast current predict a high of 49° and a low of 31° with zero chance of precipitation.
