The City of San Antonio, Centro San Antonio and UTSA are encouraging local leaders and business owners to “Light the City Orange” starting on the evening of Wednesday, December 1, through the evening of Saturday, December 4.

UTSA notched the Conference USA West Division title with a nail-biting but jubilant 34-31 victory over UAB on Saturday, November 20. With the win, UTSA earned the right to host the Conference USA Championship Game at 6 p.m. on Friday, December 3, at the Alamodome. The Roadrunners will play either Western Kentucky or Marshall for the conference crown.
A conference championship would be the cherry on top of an already incredible 2021 campaign in which UTSA became nationally ranked in the College Football Playoff, AP and Coaches polls for the first time in program history. The university also announced this fall that it would be making a momentous move to the American Athletic Conference as early as 2023 and that head coach Jeff Traylor’s contract would be extended through 2031.
The 11-0 Roadrunners will have the opportunity to cap off an undefeated regular season this weekend when they travel to North Texas. The game will kick off at 1 p.m. on Saturday, November 27, in Denton. Fans who can’t make the five-hour road trip can watch the game on the ESPN+ streaming service.
