UTSA student-athletes receive care from a centralized training center, which has state-ofthe-art therapeutic modalities and rehabilitation equipment to give them the best care available.
Strength & Conditioning Mission Statement UTSA student-athletes are running faster and getting stronger thanks to a commitment to an enhanced strength and conditioning program and a new weight room.
The UTSA Strength & Conditioning Department provides athletes the means by which they can train consistently, sensibly and systematically over designated periods of time in a safe, clean and professional environment to help prevent injury and improve athletics performance.
Philosophy
The philosophy of the University of Texas at San Antonio strength & conditioning program adheres strictly to the three proven scientific principles of adaptation ‌ Specificity The transfer of a training adaptation to a gain in competition performance. Overload Adaptation takes place when the magnitude of training is greater than normal and is achieved by prescribing the correct number of sets, repetitions and intensity of effort. The primary focus is the muscular and energy systems’ adaptation to overload. Periodization Training phases must be planned so that speed, agility, power and endurance will peak during the most important competitions.

You can do your part by forwarding names of any potential recruits to the UTSA coaching staffs.
Prospective Student-Athlete
A prospective student-athlete is a person who has started classes for the ninth grade.

2012 Season Outlook
T
UTSA to face new set of challenges in first and only season as member of WAC
he first “official” year of UTSA Football went off better than anyone could have envisioned. The Roadrunners won four games and set NCAA startup program records for inaugural game (56,743) and single-season average (35,521) attendance. Most importantly, however, they established the foundation for future success with a brief, one-year stint in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) looming in 2012. UTSA welcomes back 46 letterwinners and a total of 21 starters (10 offense/9 defense/2 kickers) from last season’s inaugural squad. With the climb to the Football Bowl Subdivision taking place in just the program’s second year of existence, that should help ease the transition. However, that change will put a new set of challenges in front of the Roadrunners, maybe even more than what they faced in their initial campaign, but head coach Larry Coker is embracing the hurdles that his club surely will encounter this fall. UTSA was picked to finish seventh in the Preseason WAC Poll, but to a man, the Roadrunners are using that as motivation, even going as far as embracing the motto, “Shock The Country,” for the 2012 season. “We have our work cut out for us this season, but one of the best things about college football is facing challenges and overcoming them,” Coker said. “We have several players back from a year ago and they are excited to show the country that they belong in the WAC. We had a great offseason in the weight room and if the first two weeks of fall camp are any indication, we should be competitive, just as we were a year ago.” The 12-game schedule (two more contests than last season) will put UTSA to the test right away with a Thursday, Aug. 30, tilt at South Alabama. The Jaguars handed the Roadrunners a 30-27 setback in double overtime last year at the Alamodome, so payback will be on their minds. UTSA also will be in search of its first road win in school history when they take the field in the season opener. The Roadrunners welcome Texas A&M-Commerce to the Alamodome the following Saturday (Sept. 8) for the 2012 home opener and Northwestern Oklahoma State (Sept. 22) and McNeese State (Nov. 10) also will visit the Alamo City as non-conference foes this fall. Meanwhile, UTSA will make additional non-league road trips to Georgia State (Sept. 15) and Rice (Oct. 13). The WAC slate kicks off on Sept. 29 at New Mexico State and other conference tilts away from San Antonio include Louisiana Tech (Nov. 3) and Idaho (Nov. 17). San Jose State (Oct. 20), Utah State (Oct. 27) and I-35 rival Texas State (Nov. 24) will come to the Alamodome in UTSA’s first and only season as a member of the WAC. Quarterbacks Junior Eric Soza returns after taking nearly every offensive snap last fall. Playing for the first time since his senior year of high school, the Beeville native completed 172-of-307 passes (56 percent) for 2,148 yards and 14 touchdowns and he added 285 more yards and three scores on the ground. Junior Tucker Carter and redshirt freshman Ryan Polite have been battling for the top backup spot during fall camp and sophomore John Simmons returns after connecting on 5-of-6 passes for 49 yards and a TD in limited action a year ago. Running Backs Junior Evans Okotcha returns after rushing for a team-leading 326 yards on just 50 carries (6.5 avg.) last fall. He added four TDs and also caught 10 passes for 148 yards and another score. The Coppell native is expected to see time at both tailback and halfback

(UTSA’s version of a fullback) this season. Sophomore Brandon Armstrong added 171 yards on 25 totes (6.8 avg.), including 105 in last year’s season finale against Minot State. Meanwhile, classmate David Glasco II reached paydirt a squad-best five times, including scores in each of the team’s first four outings. The Roadrunners also welcome back junior CheRod Simpson, who rushed 10 times for 27 yards and also hauled in seven passes for 79 yards and a score. A pair of true freshmen, Treston Coleman and Brian Vaughn, may contribute in their inaugural season. Sophomore Nate Shaw and redshirt freshman Terrance Wilburn will see time at halfback when Okotcha moves to tailback. Wide Receivers Arguably the deepest position on the club due to sheer numbers alone, the group is led by sophomore Kam Jones. The former prep quarterback led the Roadrunners with 39 receptions for 578 yards (14.8 avg.) and he scored twice during his redshirt freshman campaign. Jones registered three 100yard performances and is the most dynamic playmaker on the UTSA roster. Expect first-year offensive coordinator Kevin Brown to find creative ways to get the ball in his hands. Sophomore Kam Jones led all receivers Also back is with 39 catches for 578 yards last year. classmate Brandon Freeman, who hauled in 30 passes for 419 yards (14.0 avg.). He led the receiving corps with four touchdowns, which went for an average of 42 yards. Sophomores Kenny Harrison (28-209-1), Josiah Monroe (8-861), Marcellus Mack (4-34-0) and Earon Holmes (2-27-0) are the other returnees who caught passes last fall. A pair of redshirt freshmen, Kenny Bias and Sean Hesler, earned positive reviews from the coaching staff as members of the scout team in 2011 and both are expected to contribute this season. Tight Ends With sophomore David Morgan (13-214-2) out for the season due to injury, junior Jeremiah Moeller is expected to step in and provide UTSA with a steady blocker this season. The New Braunfels native played in all 10 games (two starts) a year ago and he caught a pair of passes for 32 yards. Sophomore Cole Hubble returns to the position after finishing up 2011 at linebacker, while redshirt freshman Austin Rushing and true frosh Jordan Gray and Trevor Stevens also will vie for playing time. Offensive Linemen The men up front helped the Roadrunners offense average 26.6 points, 364.5 total yards (144.8 rush/219.7 pass) and
2012 UTSA Football Guide
2012 Season Outlook 20 first downs per game last season despite being young and inexperienced. UTSA returns six players who saw action a year ago, including sophomores Scott Inskeep and Nate Leonard, who started all 10 contests at left guard and center, respectively. Meanwhile, sophomore Cody Harris played in all 10 games, including eight starts at right tackle, and senior Patrick Hoog drew starts in the final two tilts at right guard. Harris will move inside this season, while Hoog will slide out to left tackle. Sophomore Payton Rion appeared in eight games (seven starts) at guard, while redshirt freshman Josh Walker, the squad’s projected starting right tackle, saw limited action in three outings. Redshirt freshmen Jaime Bernal and Michael Roberson and true freshmen William Cavanaugh, Cody Cole and Zach Hester all should see snaps during the upcoming campaign. Defensive Linemen The Roadrunners will go as high as 10 deep along the front line and six of those players will bring starting experience with them this season. The four-man rotation at tackle will feature senior Franky Anaya (14 TT/2 TFLs/1 sack) and sophomores Richard Burge (31 TT/1.5 TFLs), Ashaad Mabry (20 TT/3 TFLs/1 sack/4 QBH) and Ferrington Macon (15 TT/3.5 TFLs/2.5 sacks). All four players saw action in every game a year ago and the quartet combined for 21 starts. Burge led the way with nine, while Macon (five), Mabry (four) and Anaya (three) also drew starts. Junior William Ritter (14 TT/2.5 TFLs/1.5 sacks) and sophomore Jason Neill (14 TT/4 TFLs/1 sack) are back at end, while junior newcomers Jarron Harris and Dan Winter join senior Lekenwic Haynes and sophomore Dominique Henderson in the pursuit of playing time behind the projected starting duo. Linebackers UTSA uses just two linebackers in its 4-2-5 scheme, but the tandem of senior Brandon Reeves and junior Steven Kurfehs proved to be quite a 1-2 punch last fall. Reeves started all 10 games in his first season out of the JUCO ranks and led the Roadrunners with 69 tackles. He also was second on the squad with a half dozen sacks and ranked third with 8.5 tackles for loss. Meanwhile, Kurfehs played in seven games (six starts) before missing the last three contests due to injury. However, he managed to finish third on the team with 61 stops and the San Antonio native recorded double-digit tackles in three of his final five outings. Also a threat when dropping into pass coverage, he recorded a pair of interceptions, including the first defensive touchdown in program
history, a 45-yard pick six, against Bacone. Sophomore Cody Rogers proved to be a valuable backup following Kurfeh’s injury. He started the final three contests (played in nine overall) and finished the campaign with 37 tackles, including a program-record 16 at McNeese State. Redshirt freshman Drew Douglas is expected to see time behind Reeves after sitting out the 2011 season with an injury, while junior college transfer Brandon Guerrero and sophomore Blake Terry also will provide depth in the middle this fall. Defensive Backs The Roadrunners utilize a bevy of cornerbacks and safeties in their scheme and there is a remarkable amount of depth in the defensive backfield. Junior Erik Brown and sophomore Darrien Starling, the incumbent starters at cornerback, came out of the spring atop the depth chart, but they are being pushed in fall camp by sophomore returnees Crosby Adams and Alondre Thorn, as well as junior college transfer Maurice Poullard. Brown played in eight games (six starts) following his arrival from Fresno State and he finished the season with 26 tackles and a pair of pass breakups. Meanwhile, Starling started all 10 contests and recorded 35 stops and two interceptions in addition to defending four passes. Adams played in all 10 tilts, including two starts, and Thorn also drew a pair of starts among his nine outings. UTSA fields three safeties — dawg, rover and free — on nearly every snap and as many as eight players could see action in a given contest. Sophomore Mauricio Sanchez came out of the spring as the “top dawg,” so to speak, but classmate and returning starter Nic Johnston is hot on his heels. Sanchez played in nine games (seven starts) as a true freshman and racked up 44 tackles, while his counterpart recorded 59 stops, including nine for loss, which was the second most on the team. Johnston added three fumble recoveries, two interceptions and a pair of forced fumbles in his 10 starts last fall. Also in the mix for playing time are sophomore Joseph Lizcano and freshman Charles Wort, the younger brother of Oklahoma’s All-Big 12 linebacker Tom Wort. Sophomore Triston Wade came into fall camp with a leg up on the starting free safety job following a true freshman campaign that saw him register 39 tackles, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and a pair of interceptions in 10 games of work (four starts). He currently is backed up by sophomore Brian King, who spent the last two seasons at Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College but has not played since his senior year of high school. Meanwhile, rover will feature two new faces this year with junior college transfer Cody Berry leading the way. Senior Sean Luchnick also could see time at the position after playing wide receiver a year ago. Special Teams Sophomore Sean Ianno returns after scoring a team-high 64 points in 2011. The former walk-on was good on all 31 of his extra point attempts last season and he also connected on 11-of-18 field goals with a long of 48 yards. He also brings a strong leg to kickoffs and is a threat to put the ball in the end zone at any time. Sophomore Kristian Stern averaged 40.9 yards on 16 punts after classmate Josh Ward (35.1 avg.) went down with an injury midway through the season and they are competing for the lead job during fall camp. Also in the mix is senior Parker Cundiff. The return game is led by Harrison, who averaged 26.8 yards on his team-leading 19 kickoff returns last fall. Armstrong and Harrison both are expected to battle for the punt return job leading up to the season opener.
Junior linebacker registered 61 tackles and a pair of interceptions, including a 45-yard return for a touchdown, in 2011.

A
Western Athletic Conference
fter completing its 50th year of intercollegiate competition, the Western Athletic Conference continues to evolve and feature some of the nation’s best programs. One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent nature of the schools in the WAC to advance their programs to contend at the top levels of the NCAA. The WAC provides its student-athletes the chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse markets. In addition, the WAC’s studentathletes work to achieve the highest levels of success with the academic support of their respective institutions. The WAC has experienced tremendous success over the years. Since 2000, a total of 43 football teams have been invited to bowl games, including more than half of its teams in 2008 with a record-tying five. The conference has sent teams to BCS bowl games three times since 2006. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 24 of the past 29 seasons. In baseball, the WAC has boasted two national champions since 2003. In women’s basketball, Louisiana Tech basketball has played in all but three NCAA postseason tournaments during its history. In 2001, the WAC partnered with ESPN for coverage of football and basketball giving the conference national exposure from one of the most respected broadcast entities in the country. The WAC also officially added WAC.tv in 2006 to give fans streaming internet access to many of its postseason championships including volleyball, soccer, swimming and diving, basketball, softball and baseball. The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition. The first championship was held in November 1962, when Arizona won the men’s cross country title and New Mexico followed with the first WAC football title. Arizona finished second in the NCAA College World Series and, less than three years later, Arizona State claimed the league’s first NCAA title when the Sun Devils won the College World Series trophy. Fresno State was the last WAC school to earn an NCAA team title when it won the College World Series in 2008.
54
Since 1962, several changes have occurred. UTEP and Colorado State became members in September 1967, while Arizona and Arizona State withdrew on June 30, 1978. The WAC then added San Diego State (1978), Hawai’i (1979) and Air Force (1980). Before 1990, the WAC sponsored championships only in men’s sports. However, a merger with the High Country Athletic Conference formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 199091 athletic year was the first in which both men and women competed under the WAC name. Fresno State was added in 1992, and then in 1996, the women’s programs from Air Force and Hawai’i along with six new schools (UNLV, Rice, San Jose State, SMU, TCU and Tulsa) came into the WAC. Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, UNLV, New Mexico, San Diego State, Utah and Wyoming withdrew on June 30, 1999. Nevada (2000), Boise State (2001) and Louisiana Tech (2001) were added while TCU withdrew following the 2000-01 season. In 2005, Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State joined the WAC after Rice, SMU, UTEP and Tulsa withdrew. Boise State withdrew prior to the 2011-12 season. The current membership began on July 1, 2012 when the WAC added Denver, Seattle, UT-Arlington, UTSA and Texas State to replace withdrawing members, Fresno State, Hawai’i and Nevada. The WAC has had just six commissioners in its history. Paul Brechler was named the first leader of the conference and held the position from 1962-1968. He was followed by Wiles Hallock (1968-71), Stan Bates (1971-80), Dr. Joe Kearney (1980-94), Karl Benson (1994-2012) and current interim commissioner Jeff Hurd (2012-present). Presently, the WAC crowns team and individual champions in 19 sports — eight men’s and 11 women’s. For the men, there are championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. Championships for women are held in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and volleyball. The WAC office has been located in the Denver area since the conference’s inception with the exception of a twoyear stay in Phoenix from 1964-66.

A thletics
(Ouachita Baptist • 1973) Lynn Hickey has made student-athlete welfare one of her top priorities as she continues to work to bring the UTSA Athletics Department to the upper echelon of the NCAA Division I standings. Under Hickey’s direction since 2000, UTSA has captured two Southland Conference Commissioner’s Cups as the league’s top athletics department and two men’s and one women’s all-sports trophies while consistently winning both team and individual academic and athletics awards in all 17 sports sponsored by the university. One of Hickey’s dreams to lead UTSA to the upper echelon of Division I Athletics was realized on Nov. 11, 2010, when the university received and accepted an invitation to join the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) beginning on July 1, 2012. Hickey’s long-term goal of placing UTSA in a major conference was reached when Conference USA extended an invitation on May 4, 2012. The Roadrunners will move all 17 sports into that league on July 1, 2013. Hickey has overseen the addition of three sports during her tenure. Women’s golf and women’s soccer were added in 2005 and 2006, respectively, and both programs have emerged as annual league championship contenders. On Dec. 18, 2008, UTSA’s Athletics Initiative Business Plan was approved by the UT System Board of Regents, granting permission to start a football program. Hickey made a splash with the hiring of the first-ever head football coach, as two-time National Coach of the Year Larry Coker was introduced on March 6, 2009. The program kicked off its first season against Northeastern State on Sept. 3, 2011, to resounding success. The Roadrunners set NCAA start-up program records for inaugural game (56,743) and average home (35,521) attendance in six games at the 65,000-seat Alamodome. The 2010-11 academic year will go down in history as arguably the most successful in school annals, as the Roadrunners claimed the Southland Commissioner’s Cup and Women’s All-Sports Trophy, five championships and the first-ever NCAA postseason victory. UTSA followed that with four more league titles during the 2011-12 campaign, giving the department 36 total championships since 2000-01. Hickey has led the charge for UTSA and its hosting of numerous NCAA Championship events. Since her arrival on campus, UTSA has served as host institution for the 2001 NCAA Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional, 2002 Women’s Final Four, 2003 Men’s Basketball South Regional, 2004 Men’s Final Four, 2005 Women’s Volleyball Championship, 2006 Women’s Basketball South Regional, 2007 Men’s Basketball South Regional, 2008 Men’s Final Four, 2010 Women’s Final Four, 2011 Men’s Basketball Southwest Regional and 2011 Women’s Volleyball Championship. In 2007, Hickey was named to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, one of the most prestigious appointments in all of collegiate athletics. The 10-member committee oversees administration of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship, including the selection and seeding of teams for the tournament. Hickey became just the second female ever selected to the committee, joining UNC Charlotte Athletics Director Judy Rose, who served from 1999-2003.
Hickey has been honored nationally and locally for her hard work at UTSA. She was named the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators 2005 Division I-AAA Administrator of the Year. Hickey earned her second national award in June 2006 as the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics/GeneralSports TURF Systems Division I-AAA West Region AD of the Year. The San Antonio Express-News tabbed her as its 2010 Sportswoman of the Year and she also was selected to and completed the Masters Leadership Program of San Antonio and Bexar County. In September 2011, she received the ATHENA Leadership from the North San Antonio Chamber of Commerce. “UTSA is very fortunate to have an athletic leader with both the administrative and coaching experience of Lynn Hickey,” UTSA President Dr. Ricardo Romo said. “Lynn not only is a leader who can take our athletic program to the next level, but she is also well respected nationally and serves as an excellent role model for all student-athletes at this university.” In serving as the fourth athletics director in UTSA history, Hickey assumed the lead athletics role at one of the youngest NCAA Division I universities in the country (UTSA began athletics competition in 1981). The only female Division I athletics director that oversees both men’s and women’s sports in the state of Texas, she served as President of the Southland from 2002-04 and as the league’s representative to the NCAA Championship/Competition Cabinet. Hickey also was a member of the Women’s Basketball Rules Committee from 2003-06, spending the last two years as chair. Hickey came to San Antonio from Texas A&M University, where she served as senior associate athletics director/senior woman administrator from 1994-2000. At Texas A&M, her responsibilities included event management and marketing and promotions for 16 of the university’s 19 Division I sports. She also represented the Big 12 Conference as a member of the NCAA Championship Cabinet. From 1984-94, Hickey served as head women’s basketball coach for Texas A&M. She directed the 1993-94 Aggies basketball team to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, becoming the lowestseeded team to ever reach that milestone. Texas A&M finished the year ranked No. 19 in the CNN/USA Today Top 25 poll. Following the season, Hickey relinquished her coaching duties to accept the promotion to senior associate athletics director. She finished her coaching career with an overall mark of 279-167 in 15 years of collegiate coaching. Before her stint at A&M, Hickey was head women’s basketball coach at Kansas State University from 1979-84. She averaged more than 23 wins per season in posting a 125-39 (.762) record over five years and led the Wildcats to five consecutive national tournament berths. She was inducted into the Kansas State Athletics Hall of Fame in September 2004. A native of Welch, Okla., Hickey graduated summa cum laude from Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Ark., with a bachelor’s degree in education. She was an All-American for OBU’s nationally-ranked basketball team and a member of the USA National Team in 1973. Hickey and her husband, Bill, have one daughter, Lauren Nicole.

Dr. Ricardo Romo U niversity P resident (Texas • 1967) Ricardo Romo is the fifth president of The University of Texas at San Antonio, one of the fastest growing institutions of higher education in Texas and the nation. During his tenure as president, which began in May 1999, UTSA has become an institution of first choice for students seeking a university degree. Under his leadership, student enrollment has risen to more than 31,000, representing 68 percent growth in enrollment. The university has added numerous programs and facilities to enhance student life and expand its research capacity. UTSA was named one of the state’s emerging research universities by the Texas Legislature with annual research expenditures of $56 million and sponsored program expenditures of $70 million for fiscal year 2010, representing a six-fold increase in expenditures during Romo’s tenure. A San Antonio native who grew up on the city’s West Side, Romo graduated from Fox Tech High School before attending the University of Texas at Austin on a track scholarship. At UT Austin, he was the first Texan to run the mile in less than four minutes, a record that lasted 41 years. He earned a bachelor’s degree in education from UT Austin (1967) and holds a master’s degree in history from Loyola Marymount University (1970). Additionally, Romo earned a Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Los Angeles (1975). A nationally respected urban historian, Romo is the author of “East Los Angeles: History of a Barrio,” now in its ninth printing (one in Spanish). Romo began his academic career teaching social studies from 1967 to 1970 at Franklin High School in Los Angeles. He went on to teach at the University of California at San Diego (1975-1979) and the University of Texas at Austin (1980-1999). He was a visiting professor at University of California, Berkeley in 1985 and visiting scholar with the Stanford University Center for Advanced Studies in Behavioral Sciences
Dr. Ricardo Romo prepares to introduce Larry Coker as the school’s first football coach on March 6, 2009.

(1989-1990). In 1993, he became vice provost for undergraduate education at UT Austin before becoming president of UTSA in 1999. Romo has received numerous awards and recognitions including 2006 Outstanding Friar Alumnus from the UT Austin Friar Society and the Isabel la Catolica award, the highest award given to non-Spanish subjects, bestowed upon him in 2007 by King Juan Carlos of Spain. In 2008, Romo received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Texas Exes Alumni Association. In 2010, he received the San Antonio North Chamber Gov. Dolph Briscoe Salute to Excellence Award. In 2011, Romo was presented the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) Chief Executive Leadership Award for transforming UTSA from a regional campus into an emerging Tier One research university. In February 2012, Romo received the Colonel W.T. Bondurant Sr. Distinguished Humanitarian Award from the San Antonio Academy of Texas Alumni Council. With a strong commitment to serve the community, Romo has served on a range of regional, national and international boards. He is vice chair of the Southwest Research Institute Board of Directors and on the boards of the American Council of Education, Philosophical Society of Texas, Humanities Texas, Austin Museum of Art and United States-Mexico Commission for Educational and Cultural Exchange (COMEXUS). In May 2011, President Barack Obama appointed Romo to the President’s Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. Romo is married to Harriett Romo, a UTSA professor of sociology. She also serves as director of the UTSA Mexico Center and the Bank of America Child and Adolescent Policy Research Institute (CAPRI). Both first-generation college graduates, the Romos have a son, Carlos, who earned degrees from Stanford University and the University of Texas School of Law. Their daughter, Anadelia, a graduate of Princeton University, received a doctoral degree from Harvard University and teaches at Texas State University. The Romos are avid art collectors. Their private art collection is particularly strong in works on paper by Chicana/o and U.S. Latino artists with a regional focus on Texas and the Southwest. The collection includes works by Luis Jimenez, Carmen Lomas Garza, Cesar Martinez and Vincent Valdez, as well as print suites from Self Help Graphics and Coronado Studio. A talented photographer, Romo’s photos have been included in numerous regional art exhibits including “Havana,” a collection of photos taken in Cuba, and “South Africa,” a selection of his photos taken on a trip to rural South Africa. His “Small Town Texas” exhibit was displayed at the UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures. An assortment of his photos were featured in China’s most respected photography magazine, Popular Photography. Consequently, Romo recently returned from China where he and four other Texas photographers showed their work in the exhibit “Infinite Horizons: Visions of Texas,” initiating a Texas-China cultural exchange program.

Game 2 — Saturday, Sept. 10 McMurry 24, UTSA 21 San Antonio, Texas (Alamodome)
SAN ANTONIO — Larry Coker resumed his head coaching career with the quick start that resembled his first job a decade ago. Coker’s UTSA team won its first football game, defeating Northeastern State, 31-3, on Saturday. Eric Soza threw for 237 yards and ran for 102 more, accounting for three touchdowns (2 pass/1 rush), as the Roadrunners scored on their first three possessions before an NCAA start-up program record crowd of 56,743 at the Alamodome. South Florida held the previous modern record with 49,212 on Sept. 6, 1997, against Kentucky Wesleyan. Coker won his first 24 games as coach at Miami (Fla.) and led the Hurricanes to the 2001 National Championship. Saturday looked like 10 years ago when his players emptied a large drink bucket on him as the final seconds ticked away. Just seconds after he led his team onto the field, as fireworks showered with the school’s colors of blue and orange, Coker saw his offense promptly drive down the field for the program’s first-ever score. Coker, who went 60-15 (.800) in six seasons at Miami, witnessed opening plays that could not possibly have gone any more smoothly for a first-year program. After Kam Jones returned the opening kickoff 37 yards to the UTSA 45yard line, Soza ran 14 yards for UTSA’s first touchdown, then connected with Jake Wanamaker for a 6-yard scoring toss and Jones for a 3-yard score before the first quarter had ended. UTSA’s defense also contributed early. Strong safety Nic Johnston broke through the line and delivered a hard hit to stop Northeastern’s Joel Rockmore for a 5-yard loss. The RiverHawks didn’t get a first down until the last play of the first quarter. Sean Ianno kicked a field goal as time expired in the half, giving the Roadrunners a 24-0 cushion heading into the locker room. Soza completed 17-of-29 passes for 237 yards, was not intercepted and sacked just once. Northeastern State, a Division II independent, only managed a 22-yard field goal by Dylan Beers in the third quarter.
SAN ANTONIO — Jake Mullin threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Delfonte Diamond with 19 seconds remaining to give McMurry a 24-21 win against UTSA in front of 31,634 fans at the Alamodome. The Division III War Hawks took a 17-14 lead with 7:07 to go when Markell Rice recovered a blocked punt and ran eight yards for a score. UTSA came back to lead four minutes later when David Glasco II ran seven yards for a touchdown with 3:02 remaining on the clock. Mullin, who completed 29-of-45 passes for 372 yards and one interception in addition to running for a 1-yard score, then found Diamond for the game-winner. Diamond finished with game highs of seven receptions for a career-best 142 yards. Eric Soza was 15-of-28 for 255 yards and two touchdowns for the Roadrunners. He also ran a dozen times for 51 yards, as UTSA racked up 487 total yards, including 232 on the ground. Meanwhile, the Roadrunners limited McMurry to just three rushing yards on 20 attempts, but the War Hawks amassed 372 through the air. Marlon Smith led UTSA with nine tackles, including four sacks, and he also broke up three passes and blocked a 22-yard field-goal attempt by Jesse Garcia in the second quarter.

Game 4 — Saturday, Sept. 24 UTSA 54, Bacone 7 San Antonio, Texas (Alamodome)
CEDAR CITY, Utah — Eric Soza’s 10-yard touchdown pass to David Morgan put UTSA on the board first, but Southern Utah responded with 38 unanswered points en route to a 45-22 victory on Saturday night at Eccles Coliseum. Soza led a 12-play, 76-yard scoring march on the game’s opening possession, but it was all Thunderbirds (2-1) from there, as the Roadrunners (1-2) dropped their first-ever contest away from the Alamo City. Zach Sorenson connected with Deckar Alexander for a 26-yard scoring strike to tie the game at seven and back-to-back rushing scores by Austin Minefee, first from 14 yards out and later from the 1-yard line, put Southern Utah up by 14 points. Sorenson’s second TD pass of the night, a 3-yarder to Jared Ursua, gave the Thunderbirds a 28-7 advantage at the half. Dion Turner’s 33-yard interception return at the 12:48 mark in the third quarter made it 35-7 and Colton Cook’s 36-yard field goal a little more than two minutes later extended the lead to 31. David Glasco II ended the drought with an 8-yard run to paydirt with 6:41 remaining in the third period, which gave him three touchdowns in as many games this season. Tevin Williams scored from nine yards out in the final quarter and Soza’s 2-point conversion toss to Brandon Freeman pulled UTSA to within 16. Ursua’s second touchdown grab of the night, this time from 24 yards out, finished the scoring. Sorenson completed 20-of-28 passes for 287 yards and three scores, as the Thunderbirds outgained the Roadrunners, 423-294. Steven Kurfehs led the UTSA defense with a career-high 13 tackles (8 solos/5 assists).
SAN ANTONIO — Evans Okotcha rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown and the UTSA defense held Bacone scoreless for more than 50 minutes in a 54-7 rout of the Warriors. Okotcha carried the ball eight times for a 13.2-yard average en route to becoming the program’s first running back to rush for more than 100 yards. The Roadrunners ground attack piled up 216 yards and three scores on 45 carries (4.8 avg.), as UTSA racked up 416 yards of total offense on the day. Meanwhile, the UTSA defense forced five turnovers — three interceptions and a pair of fumbles — and held Bacone, an NAIA team from Muskogee, Okla., to just 260 yards of offense. It was the first Warriors miscue of the afternoon that led to the first UTSA points. After Ezell Brown muffed a 47-yard punt at his own 11-yard line and Nic Johnston recovered at the seven, Soza scooted in from seven yards out on a keeper on the first play. The defense forced a three-and-out on Bacone’s next possession and a poor punt gave UTSA the ball at the 36. David Glasco II capped a six-play drive with a 1-yard rush on the first play of the second quarter for his teamleading fourth touchdown of the season. Following another three-and-out, Soza connected with Brandon Freeman for a 63-yard scoring strike that helped give the Birds a 21-0 lead. Steven Kurfehs then picked off a Mike Cook pass on the Warriors next drive and returned it 45 yards for the program’s first-ever defensive touchdown. The defense forced another three-and-out to help set up UTSA’s next scoring march. On 4th-and-1 from the Bacone 39-yard line, Okotcha broke through the line and raced to the end zone to put the Roadrunners up by five touchdowns. Sean Ianno drilled field goals from 21 and 45 yards out later in the second quarter to push the advantage to 41-0 at the half. Ianno added two more field goals — from 25 and 42 yards out — in the third stanza, extending the lead to 47-0. Mike Wilburn hauled in an 18-yard pass from Simmons early in the fourth quarter to make it 54-0. Bacone broke up the shutout with 9:11 to play in the fourth when Cook found Anthony Ezell for a 71-yard touchdown pass over the middle.

Game 6 — Saturday, Oct. 8 South Alabama 30, UTSA 27 (2OT) San Antonio, Texas (Alamodome)
HUNTSVILLE — Tim Flanders had four receptions for 93 yards and added another 91 on the ground, as 16th-ranked Sam Houston State held off UTSA (2-3) by a score of 22-7 on Saturday night at Bowers Stadium. Torrance Williams added 96 rushing yards on just two carries, including a 59-yard reverse for a touchdown in the third quarter. The Bearkats (4-0) got on the board first when Roadrunners quarterback Eric Soza was flagged for intentional grounding in the end zone with 2:14 remaining in the opening quarter. Richard Sincere’s 2-yard scoring toss to Keyshawn Hill with 1:33 left in the first half increased the advantage to eight. After Williams pushed the lead to 15, Soza capped a 13-play, 39-yard scoring drive with a 1-yard plunge four seconds into the fourth quarter. Flanders put the game out of reach seven-and-a-half minutes later when he reached paydirt from 10 yards out. Soza connected on 26-of-52 passes for 217 yards and three interceptions, while Kam Jones caught seven for 103 yards to become the first receiver in program history to eclipse the century mark. Steven Kurfehs led the UTSA defense with 13 tackles (9 solos/4 assists), including one for loss, and he also forced a fumble and intercepted a pass for the second game in a row.
SAN ANTONIO — Demetre Baker ran for 88 yards and two touchdowns on just 10 carries, including the game winner in double overtime, to lift South Alabama to a 30-27 victory at UTSA on Saturday in front of 32,886 fans at the Alamodome. Baker’s first touchdown came from 21 yards out in the third quarter to tie the contest at 17. The Roadrunners (2-4) had a chance to win it in regulation, but Sean Ianno’s 26-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Clifton Crews, which sent the game into overtime. In the first extra period, Ellis Hill ran for a 1-yard touchdown to put the Jaguars (3-2) up, 24-17, but UTSA answered when Eric Soza found Kam Jones wide open for a 30-yard scoring pass to continue the contest. Ianno’s 43-yard field goal put the Roadrunners ahead, 27-24, but Baker responded with a 25-yard run, his longest of the season, on USA’s next play from scrimmage to clinch the win. Kendall Houston finished with 72 rushing yards and a score on 19 attempts for the Jaguars. Meanwhile, Soza completed 15-of-22 passes for 263 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Jones caught five of those for 103, which was his second consecutive outing over the century mark.

Game 8 — Saturday, Oct. 29 UTSA 17, Georgia State 14 (OT) San Antonio, Texas (Alamodome)
DAVIS, Calif. — UC Davis sent UTSA to its third consecutive defeat with a 38-17 victory at Aggie Stadium. After the Roadrunners (2-5) took an early 3-0 lead on Sean Ianno’s 28yard field goal, the Aggies (2-4) reeled off 38 unanswered points to take command of the game. UC Davis’ scoring spree started when Randy Wright connected with Taylor Sloat for an 18-yard touchdown. Sean Kelley’s 42-yard field goal with 5:54 left in the first half pushed the lead to seven and Colton Silveria ran the ball in from four yards out five minutes later to give the Aggies a 17-3 halftime lead. Silveria added another 4-yard touchdown run with 8:29 remaining in the third quarter and Wright hooked up with Anthony Soto for a 46-yard score four-and-a-half minutes later to push the lead to 28. Wright’s third touchdown pass of the evening, this time for 21 yards to Tom Hemmingsen with 13:29 left in the game, ended the run. Eric Soza, who was 22-of-31 for 257 yards, connected with Brandon Freeman (59 yards) and Kenny Harrison (13 yards) for scores early in the final quarter, but by then, it was too little, too late. Wright completed 18-of-30 passes for 320 yards, while Silveria ran for 75 on 21 carries. Freeman finished the game with five catches for 108 yards to lead the Roadrunners. It was the third week in a row that a UTSA receiver surpassed the century mark. Meanwhile, Brandon Reeves racked up a game-high 11 tackles in his return to his home state.
SAN ANTONIO — Sean Ianno’s 32-yard field goal in overtime propelled UTSA to a 17-14 victory against Georgia State on Saturday at the Alamodome. The Roadrunners (3-5) rallied from an early 14-point deficit for the first come-from-behind win in program history. After Christian Benvenuto missed wide right from 48 yards out to start the extra session, Evans Okotcha set up Ianno’s third field goal of the day with three rushes for nine yards on what turned out to be UTSA’s first and only possession of overtime. The Panthers (2-6) jumped out to a 14-0 advantage on a pair of big plays in the second quarter. Donald Russell reversed field and raced past the Roadrunners defense for a 24-yard rushing touchdown with 6:28 remaining in the opening half. Kelton Hill then connected with Albert Wilson on a 54-yard scoring toss a little less than three minutes later to silence the announced crowd of 25,977. Ianno connected on his first field goal of the afternoon, a 30-yarder, with six seconds left on the clock and Georgia State took a 14-3 lead into the locker room. After the two teams went scoreless in the third quarter, Chris Johnson scored from nine yards out to pull the Roadrunners within five and Eric Soza’s pass to Brandon Freeman on the two-point try made it 14-11. UTSA got the ball back with 1:59 remaining in regulation and Soza drove the Roadrunners 50 yards to set up Ianno and the Pflugerville native sent the contest into overtime with a 39-yard field goal with 24 seconds to go. Soza was 17-of-34 for 189 yards, while Kam Jones caught a teamleading six passes for 52 yards. Russell led Georgia State with 87 yards on 21 carries, while Hill added 46 on 11 totes in addition to completing 6-of-15 passes for 91 yards. The Roadrunners allowed just 255 total yards, their best effort of the season, and Nic Johnston led the way with 11 tackles, two-and-a-half of which went for loss. Marlon Smith and Mark Waters also were in double figures with 10 apiece.

2 0 1 1 U T S A G a m e C a p su l e s Game 9 — Saturday, Nov. 12 McNeese State 24, UTSA 21 Lake Charles, La. (Cowboy Stadium)
Game 10 — Saturday, Nov. 19 UTSA 49, Minot State 7 San Antonio, Texas (Alamodome)
LAKE CHARLES, La. — Andre Anderson rushed for 158 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries and McNeese State held off a late UTSA rally in a 24-21 victory. Anderson became the first running back to eclipse the century mark against the Roadrunners, who fell to 3-6 on the year. The Cowboys (5-5) scored the game’s first 17 points before the UTSA offense came alive. Josh Lewis’ 30-yard field goal with one tick remaining in the opening quarter gave McNeese State an early 3-0 lead. Champlain Babin’s 5-yard rushing touchdown midway through the second period stretched the advantage to 10 and Anderson’s 21-yard scamper a little less than four minutes later made it 17-0. Evans Okotcha capped a six-play, 61-yard drive when he plunged into the end zone from one yard out with 39 seconds left in the half, which pulled UTSA to within 10. Eric Soza’s 7-yard scoring toss to David Morgan late in the third quarter cut the advantage to 17-14. After Sean Ianno’s potential game-tying 48-yard field goal was short midway through the final stanza, the Cowboys responded with an eightplay, 69-yard march that culminated with a 29-yard touchdown pass from Darius Carey to Josh Jordan, which put McNeese back in front by 10. The Roadrunners answered a mere 45 seconds later when Soza connected with Jake Wanamaker on a 26-yard strike to make it 24-21, but the Cowboys were able to run off all but seven seconds to essentially clinch the three-point win. Kam Jones set program records with eight receptions for 120 yards and it marked his third 100-yard performance in the last five games. Meanwhile, Cody Rogers paced the defense with a school-record 16 tackles.
SAN ANTONIO — UTSA erupted for 21 points in the first quarter and never looked back en route to a 49-7 victory against Minot State in Saturday’s season finale at the Alamodome. Jason Neill picked off a Bryce Joregenson screen pass on Minot State’s opening possession and the 6-foot-3, 250-pound defensive end rumbled 67 yards to paydirt to get the Roadrunners’ (4-6)scoring parade started. Evans Okotcha extended to the lead to 14 a little more than four minutes later when he broke through the line for a 77-yard touchdown on UTSA’s third play from scrimmage. The advantage grew to 21-0 on the Roadrunners’ ensuing possession when Kam Jones finished off a five-play, 48-yard drive with a 22-yard scoring jaunt. Minot State got on the board with 8:53 remaining in the opening half when Tyson Schatz reached paydirt from two yards out, but that was all the Beavers got the rest of the way. It was all UTSA after intermission, as Eric Soza connected with Brandon Freeman and Josiah Monroe on 33- and 14-yard scoring tosses, respectively, in the third quarter. David Glasco II and Nate Shaw finished off the rout with short touchdown runs in the final stanza. Brandon Armstrong rushed for 105 yards on just 10 carries, while Okotcha added 79 on his three totes, as the Roadrunners set a program record with 289 on the afternoon. Meanwhile, Soza completed 18-of-27 passes for 178 yards and two scores. Mark Waters had a game-high 12 tackles in his final game as a Roadrunner. The game drew 32,369 fans and that helped UTSA break the NCAA record for average attendance for a first-year program. The Roadrunners welcomed 35,521 fans per game to the Alamodome during the 2011 season.
