The UTSA Roadrunners and the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders have added a football matchup in 2020, both schools announced on Saturday.
UTSA will host fellow Conference USA member Middle Tennessee at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, on Friday, Sept. 25, 2020. The game will be televised by CBS Sports Network at 8:00pm ET/7:00pm CT.

Football Schedules
My head is spinning
It is rare that two schools in the same conference play a non-conference matchup (not counting CCGs).
Is this a conference game or not I can’t find anything to confirm with what it is
Yes, it will count in the C-USA standings.
