How rested UTSA aims to stay sharp at Florida Atlantic
The Roadrunners' open week came at the "perfect time," Jeff Traylor said, but UTSA is still wary of any complacency during a five-game winning streak.
The UTSA Roadrunners entered their game against Florida Atlantic with an impressive 7-1 record overall and 4-0 in the American Conference. Quarterback Owen McCown, who took the opportunity to visit family during the 11-day break, emphasized the importance of not getting complacent despite their strong performance. Safety Elijah Newell highlighted the team's resilience, drawing from their struggles in previous seasons.
UTSA returned to practice with the same disciplined approach as before, focusing on fundamentals and technique.
