The 2026 Rice Football season previews march on. This week, we’re joined by Jared Kalmus to look ahead at UTSA.
UTSA has taken a slight step back in recent years, but the program will once again enter this coming fall with conference championship aspirations to some degree. Has Jeff Traylor reached statue territory in San Antonio, or have a couple of seasons without Frank Harris soured some fans on what to expect from his Roadrunners in the near future?
We talked through it all. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 228.
