The UTSA Roadrunners opened conference play by falling flat in the final quarter as the Temple Owls rallied for a 27-21 win at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday afternoon.

Why it matters: The Roadrunners opened conference play with a loss and fell to 0-1 in the American Conference.

“It’s the first conference ballgame. Hold on,” UTSA Head Coach Jeff Traylor said. “There’s going to be a lot more just this tight, and hopefully we win the close ones.”
