From possible first-time starters to a six-year player, UTSA's offense will work to give Texas' defense a hard time in the third week of the 2024 season.
Though UTSA is coming out of a first-time bowl win at the Frisco Bowl against the Marshall Thundering Herd, the Roadrunners lost some of its key players. The 2023 leaders in receiving and passing, Joshua Cephus and Frank Harris, both played their last game for the program on Dec. 19.
Barnes led the Roadrunners in rushing in his redshirt sophomore season with 147 carries for 715 yards and six touchdowns, including one in the season opener against Texas' former Big 12 rivals Houston. UTSA's No. 4 caught 14 passes for 61 yards.

Cardenas will be coming back for his sixth year in San Antonio.
As Harris was out for part of the 2023 season, McCown got some valuable playing time, and led the Roadrunners to the program's first bowl win against Marshall in his first start for the team.
