2025 Week 11 Preview: UTSA Roadrunners @ South Florida Bulls

South Florida and UTSA face off Thursday night in a clash of high-powered offenses, with the American Conference title race intensifying. South Florida (6-2, 3-1 American), coming off a bye week, aims to rebound after its first conference loss in October.

The Bulls play host as two-touchdown favorites, but UTSA rides the momentum of its best game yet—a convincing 48-26 win over Tulane last week. The Roadrunners now look to derail another conference contender while USF continues its pursuit of a first American Conference Championship appearance.

UTSA’s Recent Surge

UTSA displayed its true potential against Tulane, controlling the game from start to finish. This was the version of the Roadrunners that coach Jeff Traylor expected when key offensive players like Owen McCown, Robert Henry Jr., and Devin McCuin returned for the season.

“This was the team the Roadrunners envisioned at the beginning of the year.”

However, that dominant performance came inside the Alamodome, where UTSA remains unbeaten (24-0) in conference games under Traylor, including two Conference USA Championship victories.

Road Challenges

The challenge for UTSA lies away from home. The Roadrunners are just 1-10 in their last 11 regular season road games. Their offensive production significantly dips outside San Antonio, managing 36 or more points in all four Alamodome games but no more than 24 points in any road matchup.

Key Factors to Watch

USF’s resilience after a bye and a conference setback.
UTSA’s ability to replicate its offensive rhythm away from home.
The Bulls’ home-field advantage as heavy favorites under the lights.

Author’s Summary

Two explosive offenses collide Thursday night as UTSA fights to prove itself on the road against a determined South Florida team chasing its first American Conference crown.
