SAN ANTONIO — UTSA will make its fifth straight and sixth overall bowl appearance when it faces Coastal Carolina in the Myrtle Beach Bowl on Monday, Dec. 23. Kickoff is scheduled for 10 a.m. CT at Brooks Stadium in Conway, South Carolina, and the game will be televised nationally on ESPN.
UTSA also recently launched the Postseason Excellence Fund, which will help provide student-athletes with exclusive experiences, postseason commemorative mementos and championship-level resources.

Under the direction of fifth-year head coach Jeff Traylor, the Roadrunners will enter the Myrtle Beach Bowl with a 6-6 overall record. UTSA has won three of its last four games this season, including the first ranked win in program history with the 44-36 home triumph over No. 25 Memphis on Nov. 2.
This will mark UTSA’s first meeting with Coastal Carolina, which also will enter the contest with a 6-6 record. The game will be played at the home stadium of the Chanticleers, who are in their second season under head coach Tim Beck.
The Roadrunners will travel to the Palmetto State in search of their second straight bowl win. Last December, UTSA defeated Marshall, 35-17, in the 2023 Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl for the program’s first-ever bowl victory.
Two years ago in the Cure Bowl, No. 22 UTSA built a 12-0 first-half lead but No. 23 Troy rallied for an 18-12 decision in Orlando, Florida.
In 2021, 24th-ranked UTSA met nationally ranked San Diego State in the Frisco Bowl. The Aztecs pulled away late for a 38-24 victory in what was the Roadrunners’ third all-time bowl appearance.
In Traylor’s first season at the helm, UTSA nearly completed a comeback against No. 16 Louisiana in the 2020 First Responder Bowl at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas. The Roadrunners rallied from a 24-7 deficit to tie the game, only to see the Ragin’ Cajuns score a late touchdown and escape with a 31-24 victory.
UTSA made its first bowl appearance in just its sixth season of play at the 2016 New Mexico Bowl in Albuquerque. New Mexico built a 10-point lead and held on for a 23-20 win over the Roadrunners on a cold and windy afternoon at University Stadium.
