UTSA Roadrunners Game Notes
UTSA’s quarterback for 2025 will be 6’1” junior Owen McCown. The Rusk, TX, native held the same position for the Roadrunners last year. In 13 games of action last season, McCown completed 63% of his passes for 3,424 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Owen McCown also logged 340 rushing yards and 3 rushing touchdowns in 2024. The Roadrunners will also bring back 5 of their top 6 receivers from last year, meaning McCown should have all the pieces in place for at least a respectable showing on Saturday.
Texas A&M Aggies Game Notes
Texas A&M guard Rueben Fatheree II will miss Saturday’s game against UTSA with a leg injury. In Fatheree’s stead, the Aggies will likely start junior guard Chase Bisontis. Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko said that Fatheree will likely miss “at least the first few games” of the season.
Aggies freshman wide receiver Jerome Myles will also sit out Saturday’s contest. He’s nursing a leg injury. Myles was a five-star prospect coming out of Corner Canyon High School in Draper, UT. Mario Craver, Terry Bussey, and KC Concepcion will likely earn the bulk of the target share for the Aggies at wide receiver this weekend.
UTSA vs. Texas A&M Betting Trends
UTSA is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
The Roadrunners are 2-0 ATS in their last 2 games against Texas A&M.
Texas A&M is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
Texas A&M was 3-9 ATS as a favorite last season.
UTSA vs. Texas A&M Betting Prediction
These two teams ended their seasons very differently last year. UTSA went 4-1 straight up in their final 5 games of last year’s campaign, culminating in a 44-15 blowout win over Coastal Carolina in the Myrtle Beach Bowl. Texas A&M went 1-4 straight up to end last year’s campaign, and finished it by losing the Las Vegas Bowl to an underachieving USC team.
The expectations are high for Texas A&M this season, which means that the Aggies might overlook a scrappy UTSA team that they don’t perceive as a real threat. Additionally, Texas A&M was 2-5 ATS as the home team, 2-4 ATS as a home favorite, and 0-5 ATS in non-conference games last season. For all of those reasons, I think the Roadrunners are able to keep this one close. The pick is UTSA +23.5 over Texas A&M at Bovada.lv.
