Welcome to the AAC, UTSA.
The Roadrunners are one of three former CUSA programs playing their inaugural conference game this weekend. UTSA (1-3, 0-0 AAC) travels to the City of Brotherly Love to face Temple (2-3, 0-1 AAC) for the first time ever.
Neither team is off to an ideal start this season, but the potential to capture a valuable conference win and remain in the hunt for a wide-open AAC title is appealing to both bird-themed programs.
Also, a fun fact about this matchup that might age some folks: Temple starting quarterback E.J. Warner and UTSA backup quarterback Owen McCown are the sons of former NFL quarterbacks Kurt Warner and Josh McCown, who were teammates on the 2005 Arizona Cardinals.
