Six-day selection window to be utilized for UTSA/UAB game

IRVING, Texas — Officials from the American Conference and ESPN announced Monday that a six-day selection window will be utilized for UTSA’s road game against UAB on Saturday, Nov. 21, in Birmingham, Alabama.

The matchup is one of three league games that day that are part of the six-day selection window, joining the North Texas/Tulane and Memphis/Navy contests. All three games will be on a linear network, and times and network designations will be determined after this Saturday’s games.

This will mark the ninth meeting between the Roadrunners and Blazers in a series that is knotted at 4-4. UTSA has won the last three matchups, including a 44-38 decision in double overtime on Nov. 5, 2022, in its last visit to Birmingham. The Roadrunners also registered a 41-20 home triumph in the last meeting on Oct. 14, 2023. On Nov. 20, 2021, UTSA pulled out a dramatic 34-31 win in the final seconds over UAB at the Alamodome to secure the Conference USA West Division crown.

UTSA will return to the Alamodome to host North Texas for Homecoming in a key American Conference contest this Saturday, Nov. 14. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. and the game will be televised nationally on ESPNU. The first 10,000 fans in attendance will receive exclusive homecoming jerseys, courtesy of Firstmark Credit Union.
