It was Senior Day for the UTSA Roadrunners and one of the most impactful classes the young program has had. Fans gave names like Frank Harris and Rashad Wisdom an earned ovation in introductions, and in return, those fans were treated to a win that keeps the Roadrunners alive in the AAC title race.
With those seniors leaving after this season and head coach Jeff Traylor reportedly interviewing for the Texas A&M opening this week, things are going to look different in at least some ways next season for UTSA.
If this season is the last ride for Traylor's version of the Roadrunners, they look determined to go out on top. Here's what stood out from their eigth win of the season.

Dominance/Brilliance From Harris
Clearly, Harris wants to play one more game in the Alamodome. The seventh-year senior was incredibly effective through both the passing game and the running game. In fact, Harris broke a UTSA single-game record for total yards, finishing with 523 total yards
It's the second-highest individual, single-game yardage total in FBS this season.
Harris completed 31 passes on 46 attempts for 411 yards and three passing touchdowns. He was three yards shy of his career high with the Roadrunners. Harris also rushed for 112 yards with three touchdowns on the ground, a season high in both areas.
Cephus Breaks A Record Of His Own
Joshua Cephus broke the all-time receiving yards record at UTSA going over 3392 yards. His final stat line on Friday night was nine catches for 163 yards and a touchdown. The game also puts him over 1100 yards on the season.

Bulls Up and Bulls Down
Former walk-on Sean Atkins put himself over USF's single-season receiving record with his performance in this game. He finished with ten catches for 92 yards, putting him at 900 receiving yards on the season.
Unfortunately for Alex Golesh's squad, even with the improvement they've shown this season, they're now down to their last shot to achieve bowl eligibility next week against Charlotte.
Championship Scenario
If UTSA beat Tulane next week on November 24, they'll host the AAC championship game. SMU and Tulane's results on Saturday will also play into who hosts the championship game as well.
