Simpler, Faster, Smarter: Rick Bowie Reshapes UTSA’s Offense

Rick Bowie takes over a Roadrunner offense that has ranked as a Top 15 scoring unit in three of the past five seasons and hasn’t ranked outside the Top 33 since 2020, which was Jeff Traylor’s first season at UTSA. Bowie is the fourth offensive coordinator Traylor has hired in San Antonio.
