The UTSA Roadrunners and North Texas Mean Green are headed to the American Athletic Conference in 2023. They leave behind a Conference USA that helped build both programs to where they are now, one that has helped springboard their rise in the Group of Five. And on Friday night 41,412 fans were treated to the culmination of that success, ending with a convincing UTSA victory to claim their second conference title in as many years.
Despite an unprecedented number or injuries, UTSA put together arguably its most complete game of the season to close out 2022. Lead by quarterback Frank Harris, who was named MVP, the Roadrunners won behind 571 total yards, balanced well between 344 yards passing and 227 yards rushing, and closed out the game on a 14-0 run in the fourth quarter to prevent any UNT comeback.
