SAN ANTONIO — UTSA (6-6) will wrap up the first season of the Frank Wilson era on Saturday when it takes on New Mexico (8-4) in the 11th annual Gildan New Mexico Bowl. Kickoff in the Roadrunners' first-ever game in the month of December is scheduled for 1 p.m. (CT) at University Stadium in Albuquerque.
UTSA, which will be the designated home team despite playing in the Lobos' home stadium, became bowl eligible for the first time in program history with its 33-14 home victory against Charlotte in the regular season finale back on Nov. 26.
The Roadrunners won seven games back in 2013, but they were in their final year of reclassifying to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and not eligible to play in the postseason.
The contest also will mark the final game for UTSA's 22-member senior class.
Saturday will mark the 71st all-time game in school history, the 35th of which that will be played away from the Alamo City.
The Roadrunners returned 41 letterwinners from last year's squad, including 14 starters (seven offense/five defense/two kickers).
