UTSA (4-4) travels to Raymond James Stadium in Tampa to face South Florida (6-2) in an exciting AAC showdown on Thursday night. The Bulls boast one of the nation’s most dynamic offenses led by quarterback Byrum Brown, although a recent narrow loss to Memphis has ended their College Football Playoff hopes.
On the other side, the Roadrunners and signal-caller Owen McCown look to build on a convincing 48-26 victory over Tulane last week as they aim to return to .500 in conference play.
The two teams hold contrasting identities but remain highly relevant in the AAC bowl picture. The Roadrunners currently have a series edge, having defeated South Florida 49-21 earlier in 2023.
