2011 UTSA Roadrunners football team
The 2011 UTSA Roadrunners football team represented the University of Texas at San Antonio in the 2011 NCAA Division I FCS football season. It was the first year of play for UTSA. The team was coached by veteran head football coach Larry Coker. The team played its home games at the Alamodome and competed as an independent in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision.[1] It was UTSA's only season as a Division I FCS team, as the Roadrunners moved to the Western Athletic Conference for the 2012 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Because UTSA was transitioning to the FBS, the NCAA declared the team ineligible for the FCS playoffs.

Schedule
UTSA's inaugural football game versus Northeastern State
The night before the program's first game, it was reported that the Longhorn Network (LHN), the Texas Longhorns-based network, would air the final five Roadrunner home games.[4][5] At the time of the initial news reports, the five scheduled UTSA games were more than the two Texas football games (against Rice[4] and Kansas[6]) scheduled for the network. The kickoff times for the scheduled games were moved to fit with the LHN schedule.[5]
