UTSA vs. USF football: Preview, scouting report, betting info and prediction
The Roadrunners and Bulls had a short week to prepare for a Thursday night showdown in the Alamodome with an ESPN spotlight.
The UTSA Roadrunners football team will host the South Florida Bulls at the Alamodome in San Antonio on Thursday, June 6, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. The matchup is part of a five-day turnaround for the Roadrunners due to a night kickoff the previous day. Coach Jeff Traylor has solicited advice on handling such quick turnarounds, primarily from his son Jordan who is an assistant coach with the Minnesota Vikings.
The Bulls defense is described as "freakishly good," featuring players like Michael Williams and Asani Redwood. UTSA's offensive line has struggled, leading to drops, protection lapses, and turnovers. However, the team will have to contend with a defense that excels at shedding blocks.
USF quarterback Michael Van Buren is described as highly athletic and dangerous, while running back D.J. Crowther has 393 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. The Roadrunners will need to execute well, as the Bulls rank 110th in total offense and have shown strong ball-hawking abilities with no interceptions on the season.
Traylor anticipates a loud atmosphere at the Alamodome, hoping the Roadrunners can capitalize on the energy to overcome a potential offensive setback. The prediction for the game is UTSA 24, South Florida 17.
