Your Picks on UTSA vs Texas State

Matchup and recent form

The UTSA Roadrunners visit the Texas State Bobcats at UFCU Stadium in San Marcos on Saturday, September 12, for their 2026 college football matchup. UTSA enters 1-0; Texas State is 0-1.

UTSA defeated UTRGV 45-16 in its opener, generating 527 yards and five offensive gains of 30 yards or more. The Roadrunners also scored on a 49-yard interception return. New Era Prep reports that Owen McCown threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns, with DJ Allen contributing 116 receiving yards and one touchdown.

Texas State lost 59-7 at No. 5 Texas. The Bobcats gained 349 yards, including 161 on the ground, while Brad Jackson passed for 150 yards. Those numbers document production in a heavy defeat, but do not establish how Texas State will perform against UTSA. Comparing the opening scores alone also leaves the different opponents unaccounted for.

Rivalry context

UTSA holds a 5-2 series advantage, although Texas State won the two most recent meetings. The Bobcats took the 2025 game in San Antonio 43-36, with Jackson passing for 286 yards and Beau Sparks recording 155 receiving yards.

Texas State Athletics reports five wins across the Bobcats’ last six games dating to November 15, 2025. That stretch spans seasons; it is not a record for their final six games of 2025. The recent rivalry results provide context without establishing a repeat outcome.

Odds and final call

Texas State is -1.5 (-110) and -125 on the moneyline. UTSA is +1.5 (-110) and +105 on the moneyline. Over 66 and under 66 are each priced at -110.

The available results do not establish an advantage against those prices. UTSA’s productive opener and last year’s 79-point meeting are insufficient grounds for a side or total recommendation. The final call is Pass, with no projected winner or score.
