Injury Report
Available injury listings identify UTSA running back Brandon Donnell as out with an undisclosed issue, with a potential season-long absence noted. Florida Atlantic tight end Preston Cannon was listed questionable with an undisclosed issue, although that listing references the earlier Rice game and does not confirm his availability for Thursday. Neither listing establishes a definitive game-day participation report. Monitor official pregame personnel announcements before assuming either player will be available.
Key Players

UTSA has the stronger recent form and a 184.9-yard rushing average, facing a Florida Atlantic defense surrendering 256.0 rushing yards per game. The Owls counter with 329.6 passing yards per contest and an unbeaten home mark. That contrast favors sustained Roadrunners drives but keeps explosive FAU passing possessions relevant to spread and total markets.
3 Things to Watch
- UTSA rushing offense against FAU run defense
- Veltkamp passing efficiency versus UTSA coverage
- Third down conversions and takeaway margin
Betting Breakdown
UTSA visits Florida Atlantic with the American Conference race firmly in view. The Roadrunners are 7-1 overall and 4-0 in league play, winners of five straight games after a September loss at Texas. Their most recent outing was a 42-19 win at Tulane in which the defense forced six turnovers and the offense rushed for 223 yards and six touchdowns. Those are encouraging signs against an Owls defense allowing 468.9 yards per game, including 256.0 on the ground. Florida Atlantic nevertheless offers considerable scoring resistance on its own terms: the Owls are 4-0 at home, average 37.8 points and produce 329.6 passing yards per game. Quarterback Caden Veltkamp has 23 touchdown passes through eight contests, giving FAU the capacity to challenge a visiting favorite through the air. Market snapshots have placed UTSA around a touchdown favorite with a total near 72.5, but bettors should recheck prices before acting. UTSA is 4-3 ATS in lined games in one major results database, while FAU is 5-3 ATS. The central question is whether the Roadrunners can control possession through their running game without allowing quick scoring responses.
UTSA Betting Outlook
UTSA arrives with five consecutive straight-up victories and a 3-1 road record, including a 42-19 triumph at Tulane on October 24. The Roadrunners have averaged 409.3 yards per game with 184.9 on the ground. Will Henderson III rushed for 102 yards against Tulane, and A’Marion Peterson scored twice in that game. Quarterback Owen McCown has thrown for 1,751 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. Against the spread, the Roadrunners are 4-3-0 in seven contests with published lines, including a cover at Tulane but a failure to cover against Navy. Their ability to create rushing efficiency and protect the football will be important against an FAU team that can respond quickly through the air.
Florida Atlantic Betting Outlook
Florida Atlantic has won all four home games, despite entering Thursday at 5-3 overall and 2-2 in the American Conference. The Owls last lost 48-41 at North Texas after narrowly beating Rice 51-49, highlighting their ability to score and their difficulty getting stops. Caden Veltkamp has thrown for 2,536 yards and 23 touchdowns, while Easton Messer owns 74 catches for 898 yards and nine scores. The offense averages 440.0 yards per game, but the defense allows 468.9 yards and 35.8 points. FAU is 5-3-0 ATS overall and 3-1 ATS at home. A disciplined performance against UTSA running plays would help preserve its perfect home record and keep the matchup within the spread.
