A shutdown defense was enough to give the UTSA Roadrunners a winning record, but it was not enough to get them to a bowl game last season. After a fast start, the wheels fell off for the offense and the Roadrunners staggered to the finish. Now, the offense must be rebuilt and the defense has some key players to replace. Accordingly, six wins may be as good as it gets for UTSA.

The Roadrunners were able to competently move the ball. However, scoring was the issue last season. This season, the Roadrunners will have to replace quarterback Dalton Strum. The starting quarterback is anyone's guess as the Roadrunners have four players competing for the spot. UTSA will be attempting to open up the offense this season, bringing in offensive coordinator Al Borges. The new system promises to be more balanced and will feature more passing.

UTSA was one of the top defensive teams in FBS last season, yielding only 17 points per game. It has been, and will always be, tough to pass against the Roadrunners. The defense lost leader Marcus Davenport, but at this point the system is strong enough to withstand losses.

The early season schedule is challenging for UTSA with dates against Arizona State, Baylor and Kansas State. UTSA will have to come close to running the table in the Sun Belt in order to reach a bowl game. Although the defense is still strong, it would be unreasonable to expect much success against the brutal schedule.
