UTSA prepares for I-35 Series rematch against Texas State

UTSA travels to face Texas State in San Marcos this Saturday at 2:30 p.m. in the next installment of their rivalry. The Roadrunners seek their first win against the Bobcats since 2023, following consecutive losses in the I-35 Series. Coach Jeff Traylor, who previously held the trophy in San Antonio throughout his tenure beginning in 2019, described the 2024 defeat as a difficult period for the program. Texas State enters the matchup coming off a 43-36 victory last season, a game that followed a 49-10 win in 2024. Despite the historical implications and the desire for redemption, players and staff have attempted to maintain focus on the immediate challenge. Traylor noted that while the game carries additional weight due to the rivalry trophy, he aims to manage the team's approach to avoid letting a single result impact the entirety of the 2026 season.
