For Holtz, he has seen what it takes to keep Tech Nation "happy" and "content" and that is bowl eligible. He looks at the 12-game schedule and schemes to get to 6 wins, at least. A couple more wins, 8, is better! but 6 gets the job done. He is halfway to the magic number. UTSA represents another chance to get a road win. It is a tough 7-game road slate, so stealing a couple of wins, maybe even THREE, helps to overcome the predictable, inevitable WTF home screw-ups. He has to think that even he won't blow the home dates vs. UTEP and Rice....probably. But Holtz is smart enough to know that despite their 1-4 record, WKU actually can play some football. He's not so sure he can get that one. So, he needs another road win and UTSA, in comparison to FAU, Moo State, and USM, represents his best shot at it.
