When asked by the show's host, Peter Burns, who was substituting for Finebaum, to give his sales pitch on why a big-time recruit should come to UTSA, Wilson gave a convincing answer.

"At UTSA everybody is somebody," he said. "That if you're looking for a place to fulfill your dreams, UTSA is the place. It's a university (working) on top-tier status, whether it's in our engineering department, business or our No. 1 cyber-security department in the country."

"Now it has a formidable Division I football program in Conference USA. But you know what? We're still in the process of building it. So opportunity awaits you here."

Wilson was interviewed live for more than 5 minutes by Burns, who played college golf at UTSA for one season, 1998-99, ("I was the worst bunker player in NCAA history") and is now an ESPN studio analyst.

Burns said after UTSA's 17-10 upset victory over Baylor this past Saturday in Waco, "my phone was blowing up" from text by former UTSA teammates.

"They were going crazy out there on (Loop) 1604," Burns said.

He then asked Wilson what he had in quarterback Dalton Strom (it's actually Sturm)?

"He's very poised," Wilson responded. "He's now in his fourth year here and he realizes now what it means to lead this football team. He brings a lot of moxie to our football team."

"Moxie. I like that word," Burns said. "We need to use that word a little more in life."

Wilson talked about what the victory over Baylor – the first win over a Power 5 opponent in school history – meant to the team.

"I looked into the stands and saw a woman probably in her 50s with tears rolling down her cheeks," Wilson said. "For the first time it really hit home after six years of coming oh-so-close against teams like Arizona State and Texas A&M, that our program had finally achieved a breakthrough."

Burns ended the interview asking Wilson if it's going to be a distraction down the road as his name becomes mentioned more and more for job openings at other schools.

"It's one of those things you have no control over," Wilson said. "We use the word serenity around here, recognizing the things you can and can't control and being wise enough to tell the difference."
