Texas returns home Saturday looking to maintain its early-season momentum when it hosts UTSA in an intrastate matchup that provides the Roadrunners with one of the biggest opportunities on their schedule.

The Longhorns enter the game ranked No. 1 in the country and expectations of competing for an SEC and national title. Texas has showcased its depth on both sides of the ball through the opening weeks, relying on a balanced offense and a defense that has consistently limited explosive plays.

UTSA, meanwhile, is accustomed to embracing the underdog role. The Roadrunners have developed into one of the most consistent programs in the Group of Five ranks and will look to challenge Texas with a veteran roster and an aggressive approach. Pulling off an upset in Austin would rank among the biggest victories in program history.

While Texas is favored, UTSA’s experience and familiarity with the in-state opponent should create an entertaining test before the Longhorns turn their full attention to SEC competition.
