When Eric Soza occasionally takes a break from his studies and the film sessions and strolls along the River Walk in downtown San Antonio, people approach him or whisper as he walks by. In most places, only the most knowledgeable of the diehard college football fans would have any idea who he was, but in San Antonio they know.
He's their quarterback, and he can barely leave home without somebody telling him how excited they are for his next game.
That next game -- the first in the history of the University of Texas at San Antonio -- is nine months away, but that's just a matter of time to folks there. Soza is going to take snaps for the Roadrunners, their new favorite team, which makes him big man on campus and around town.
"Everything here is pretty unique," said Soza, a redshirt freshman transfer from Texas State. "Throughout this whole fall, we didn't think of it as a year off. Next year we are going to be playing and it will be for real so we've been getting ready. Everybody is ready. People come up to me all the time and say, 'Hey, we already got our season tickets.'"
