BEAUMONT, Texas – After a season-opening victory over North American University in week one, the Lamar University Cardinals will step up in competition Saturday as they try and move to 2-0 to start the year. The Cardinals will look to take that next step against UTSA. The Roadrunners enter Saturday's contest with an identical 1-0 record.
 
Saturday will serve as the home opener for UTSA who is coming off a thrilling seven-point victory at Illinois in the first week of the season.
 
The Cardinals will be looking to go 2-0 to start the season for the first time since 2019, and just the second time since the 1985 season.
 
Saturday's game will be a historic meeting between the two programs. The game in San Antonio will mark the first time in program history the two former Southland Conference rivals will meet on the gridiron (neither team had football when both schools were in the SLC).
 
Saturday's contest is slated to kick off at 5 p.m. from the Alamodome, and will be broadcast live on Newstalk 560 KLVI, and streamed live on ESPN3.
 
The Alamodome strongly encourages anyone experiencing COVID symptoms to refrain from attending Saturday's game. While temperature checks entering the stadium have been discontinued, face masks are recommended while inside the facility.
