Jeff Traylor: "It would've killed a lesser man, but I'm okay."

Last week, Mack Brown told the story of the poison cheese. 

Clearly similar to Nick Saban's famous rat poison, in 2005 Brown received a call from Bill Parcells, who warned Brown his No. 2 ranked and undefeated Longhorns were walking into a trap the upcoming week against 4-7 Texas A&M. Brown laid out rat traps throughout the Texas locker room, and Texas still trailed in the third quarter before pulling away for a 40-29 win. 

"I said, 'We're going to win the game and you're not going to die, but you're damn sure sick because you ate some of that cheese," Brown recalled. 

Unfortunately for him, the illustration did not sink in with his current team. No. 10 North Carolina lost to 1-5 Virginia, 31-27, in Chapel Hill on Saturday.

However, another team took Brown's story to heart. 

Jeff Traylor and his staff put out rat trap across UTSA's locker room ahead of the Roadrunners' visit to Florida Atlantic. UTSA won the game 36-10, which makes this story the light-hearted kind of funny, not darkly funny."

"We passed out 112 of them. We unloaded all of them, but one of my smart aleck seniors loaded his back up and put it up on the podium where I speak to the kids. I put my hand down. It looks like my pinky got smashed by a hammer," Traylor said Monday. "It would've killed a lesser man, but I'm okay."

After a 1-3 start, UTSA is tied for first at 3-0 in its first season in the American. The Roadrunners host East Carolina on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN+).
