UTSA vs. USF Head-to-Head Record
This is only the second meeting between these two teams, with the first matchup in 2023 resulting in a decisive 49-21 victory for UTSA.
At the time, the programs were in very different places: the Roadrunners were beginning their first season in the American Conference after finding success in Conference USA, while USF was entering the Alex Golesh era, a run that has since gained momentum in 2025.
Both teams entered the season with championship aspirations, but have taken divergent paths to reach this point.

UTSA vs. USF Prediction
UTSA ran over Tulane last week, showing us what could happen when everything clicks for that team. The biggest question remaining: was it because they were at home, or is this a new trend for the Roadrunners? We’ll find out soon enough.
Robert Henry Jr. continues his career season thanks to his explosive plays, and now Owen McCown and the passing attack appear to be hitting their stride as well. A balanced offense helped them last week, and they might need it when they face the Bulls’ offense.
Byrum Brown continues producing highlight reel plays for USF, and the supporting cast continues rotating through to assist him. Injuries played a role in the rotation recently, so the Bulls hope to get everyone healthy. Their College Football Playoff hopes depend on it.
UTSA’s win over Tulane kept their conference title hopes alive, but stopping Brown and the Bulls’ offense presents an even greater challenge. The Bulls still believe they can make the playoffs, but they must win out. If they can slow down the Roadrunners’ attack, that goal remains alive.
Prediction: USF 56, UTSA 28
