Live updates: UTSA, Texas State clash in I-35 rivalry

The Roadrunners are aiming to solve their recent road woes and slow starts, hoping to snap a two-game skid against the Bobcats.

Live updates: UTSA, Texas State clash in I-35 rivalry

The UTSA Roadrunners will face the Texas State Bobcats in an I-35 rivalry matchup on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at the Alamodome in San Marcos at 2:30 p.m. The Roadrunners are looking to end a two-game losing streak in the series against Texas State. Coach Jeff Traylor acknowledges that the team's changes in staff, roster construction, and practice schedules will take time to show results.

However, he expects the outcome of this game will provide a clear indication of the team's progress. The game will be broadcast on the CW and streamed on ESPN+. UTSA has taken steps to combat the hot weather by renting six cooling benches with built-in fans and misters. Texas State also has misters and canopies on the home sideline, but they use standard steel benches.

Injuries update: Texas State wide receiver Beau Sparks is expected to miss Saturday's game as he was not present in uniform during warmups. Sparks is a key target for the Bobcats, having accumulated 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.
