UTSA "Still Undefeated" after Storming to School's First Victory

      September 3rd, 2011 was a long time coming for UTSA fans and alumni as their inaugural football season began.  Fans came out early and in large numbers as they filled the Alamodome, setting the modern day record for attendance (56,743) in a program's inaugural football game.  It turned out to be a great first game for UTSA as they won the coin toss and scored on their first three possessions.  With the help of an excited student section, the Roadrunners held a 21-0 lead over the Northeastern State Riverhawks by quarter's end.  Not much scoring occurred in the second, but the Roadrunners extended their lead with a field goal as time expired in the half.
      The Roadrunner defense continued to dominate as the second half began, but allowed the first opponent points in school history, a 22 yard field goal from Dylan Beers with 10 minutes remaining in the third. UTSA was not ready to give up just yet.  A 7 yard TD run by David Glasco II extended their lead to 31-3, which turned out to be the final score of the game.  Coach Larry Coker was a huge part of the innagural game victory and said not even his 2002 National Championship could stand up to yesterday's victory.  The Roadrunners return next Saturday to the Alamodome against the McMurry War Hawks and UTSA fans will be digging their "Still Undefeated" after the inaugural victory.
