- Pick/market: (Photo: JJ Perez, InsideRunnerSports.com) By JJ Perez For InsideRunnerSports.com UTSA had a gritty performance Saturday night in Austin as they fell to the no.

- After the Texas loss, Jeff Traylor said UTSA's defense was using more of a bend-don't-break approach and credited its red-zone work, tackling and run fits. Run fits had been a specific practice emphasis that week. His assessment described improved execution against Texas, not a newly announced defensive front or personnel change. - Traylor said four offensive holding flags and offensive pass interference repeatedly erased UTSA first downs and created long-yardage situations against Texas. He singled out recurring tight-end and receiver holds despite practicing hand placement, leverage and pad level. He wanted hands inside and blockers staying upright, not an announced lineup change. - Traylor declined to judge Owen McCown harshly after Texas because UTSA could not protect him and repeatedly put him in first-and-20. He described blockers being knocked backward and down in a physical mismatch. That was an explanation of the quarterback's difficult conditions, not a quarterback change or a claim that protection was adequate. - Reviewing UTSA's 13-play first-half drive against Texas, Traylor noted that avoiding flags let the offense move, but execution still left yards available: a spread draw left a gap unblocked, and another draw gained eight yards despite a fumbled snap. These were specific assignment and exchange errors, not evidence of a newly installed run scheme.
