UTSA football had expectations heading into head coach Frank Wilson’s third season. However, the Roadrunners instead took a step back.
After winning three straight games against the worst teams on their schedule, UTSA finished the year by losing six straight games. A revolving door of inconsistent quarterbacks and milquetoast playcalling ultimately doomed the Roadrunners to a subpar record.
Here’s our full postmortem and review of the 2018 UTSA Roadrunners football season.

UTSA Roadrunners Season Recap
Final record: 3-9, 1-6 Conference-USA
Head coach: Frank Wilson (15-21, all at UTSA)
Coordinators: OC Al Borges, DC Jason Rollins, ST Gary Hyman
Offensive MVP: WR Greg Campbell Jr.
Standing out on a putrid offense is difficult, but wide receiver Greg Campbell Jr. was ridiculously more productive than every other offensive player on the roster. He posted 58 catches for 658 yards. Both of those marks are three times as many as any other Roadrunner. The yardage is also double what any running back posted. UTSA averaged just 3.3 yards per play when Campbell didn’t touch the ball, compared to 10.6 yards per play when he touched it.
Defensive MVP: LB Josiah Tauaefa
Tauaefa has been one of UTSA’s premiere players for three years now, and capped off his career with his second 100-tackle season in three years. The junior also added 11.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks and a pair of forced fumbles. Tauaefa is now headed to the NFL draft, where he should move up draft boards.
