Episode 304: Triangle magic returns as UTSA regains control of the I-35 rivalry

Owen McCown and the UTSA Roadrunners put the past behind them as they went on the road and secured a major victory for the program, coming from behind to defeat the Texas State Bobcats in San Marcos with a clutch game-ending drive. Unfortunately the Roadrunners will have a difficult time turning that inspiring win into sustainable momentum as they’ll face the #1 team in the nation this week. We preview the Texas Longhorns with an assist from our old friend Eric Henry, and discuss whether playing this series still makes sense in 2026.
