South Florida and UTSA face off Thursday night in a showdown between two potent offenses as the American Conference title race intensifies. South Florida (6-2, 3-1 American), coming off a bye week, aims to recover from its first conference loss last month. The Bulls enter as two-touchdown favorites while hosting the game.
UTSA (4-4, 2-2 American) approaches the matchup energized after a dominant 48-26 win over Tulane last Thursday. The Roadrunners look to disrupt another conference contender, while South Florida pursues its first-ever American Conference Championship.
Last week, UTSA showed the team they expected at season start, led by offensive stars Owen McCown, Robert Henry Jr., and Devin McCuin. This breakout performance came at the Alamodome, where the Roadrunners are formidable under head coach Jeff Traylor.
The offense particularly shines at home, scoring 36 or more points in all four games this season at the Alamodome, but has produced 24 points or fewer in each of their four road games.

This contrast highlights the challenge UTSA faces in sustaining their recent momentum away from home against a strong Bulls team.
