UTSA QB Frank Harris sidelined for Frisco Bowl due to injury
The UTSA Roadrunners announced on Tuesday night that star quarterback Frank Harris will not be suiting up for what would have potentially been his final college football game in the Frisco Bowl. Harris, who has put together a remarkable career filled with program records and Conference USA championships, has been plagued by a shoulder injury suffered in the regular season finale against Tulane on November 24.
The news came as a shock just minutes before the anticipated kickoff against Marshall, as Harris made it known that he is devastated to not be able to compete, but will still be supporting his teammates from the sidelines.
Redshirt freshman Owen McCown is expected to start in Harris’ place, leaving the Roadrunners without their seasoned leader on the field. An injury-riddled career hasn’t stopped Harris from making a significant impact on the UTSA program, setting records and proving himself to be one of the toughest players his coach has encountered.
The sudden absence of Harris, who began the final regular season game without any obvious signs of injury, has sent the betting line for the game moving considerably and stirred up rumors throughout social media.
Harris’ setbacks over the years led to doubts about whether he would even be able to play this season, but his determination and resilience have carried him through, and he will now watch from the sidelines as his teammates take on Marshall in the Frisco Bowl.
