SAN ANTONIO - UTSA announced Tuesday that it will host Southern in a non-conference home game on Sept. 2, 2017, at the Alamodome.
The Roadrunners and Jaguars, a Football Championship Subdivision member of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC), have never met on the gridiron. Southern, located in Baton Rouge, La., finished 9-4 overall and won the SWAC West Division with an 8-1 mark in 2014. The Jaguars suffered a 38-24 setback to Alcorn State in the SWAC Championship Game.
UTSA now has three non-conference games scheduled for 2017, as it will play Baylor on Sept. 9 in Waco and Texas State on Sept. 23 in San Marcos.
The Roadrunners will open the 2015 slate against Arizona on Thursday, Sept. 3, in Tucson, Ariz., before returning home to host Kansas State on Saturday, Sept. 12, at the Alamodome. UTSA also travels to Stillwater, Okla., for the second straight season to play Oklahoma State one week later and it will host Colorado State on Sept. 26 in the final non-conference contest of its fifth year of football. All four opponents made bowl appearances and were ranked in both The Associated Press and Amway/USA Today Coaches Top 25 Polls at one point this past season.
