Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall has been heavily linked to LSU this week. He was upset by a previously 3-4 team on Thursday night.

UTSA head football coach Jeff Traylor had to set the record straight in his postgame press conference on Thursday night: the Roadrunners are not cheaters.  It hasn't been the best season for UTSA, which is 4-4 so far and ranked eighth in the American Conference,

The Tulane Green Wave (6-1) hit the road for an AAC battle against the UTSA Roadrunners (3-4) on Thursday, October 30, 2025 at the Alamodome. The Green Wave faced the Army Black Knights in their most recent game, winning 24-17. Their last time out, the Roadrunners were beaten by the North Texas Mean Green 55-17.

The Roadrunners are 21-0 in home conference games under Traylor and will tap into that magic once again. Spurred by the sting of a blowout loss at North Texas, UTSA will deliver an upset mirroring last season's win against Memphis, potentially sparking a late-season surge.

Owen McCown was 31-of-33 passing for 370 yards and four touchdowns, David Amador II and Devin McCuin each had two touchdown catches, and UTSA beat Tulane 48-26.

Still undefeated in American Conference play, Tulane hits the road for the first time in a month for what could be a shootout at the Alamodome.

Navy is now the only American team undefeated in conference play, but the Midshipmen have a daunting November schedule.
