2026 Week 7 Preview: Navy Midshipmen @ UTSA Roadrunners

The UTSA Roadrunners will host their first American Athletic Conference matchup against Navy Midshipmen on Saturday, October 17, aiming to extend their unbeaten home record in the Alamodome to 3-0. The Roadrunners, led by head coach Jeff Traylor, have dominated in their conference home games, going 26-1 in the Alamodome since joining the American.

Navy, meanwhile, enters the game with a 2-3 record and a recent second-half comeback win over Tulsa, where quarterback Jackson Gutierrez led a 20-0 rally with 232 rushing yards. Gutierrez, who has taken over as the starter, has been a dual-threat quarterback, averaging 20.0 yards per pass and four touchdowns to one interception, while also rushing for over 100 yards per game.

The Midshipmen’s ground game is a key weapon, with Michael Barrow and Vic Listorti providing explosive runs, while wide receiver Truman Brasfield has already delivered three long touchdown catches. The game carries added significance for UTSA, as a win could secure bowl eligibility and solidify their status as a conference contender.

Navy, playing in front of a supportive San Antonio crowd, looks to continue their recent resurgence and challenge the Roadrunners in a high-stakes matchup.
