Texas State Looks to Bounce Back


Texas State had won two games in a row to start the season, but they were defeated in the last game against Arizona State. Texas State in the last game faced off against UTSA, and they scored 43 points on the way to the seven-point victory. In the last game against the Sun Devils, the offense wasn’t as good, but they ended up losing 34-15. At halftime, they were down 20-3 and although they fought back a bit in the second half, they still ended up falling short. `

Texas State had 303 total yards, while they allowed Arizona State to finish with 433 total yards. They had 119 total rushing yards, while they allowed Arizona State to finish with 245 total rushing yards. Brad Jackson was under center and he completed 25 of his 36 passes for 181 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. 

Texas State on the season is averaging 36.67 points while their defense is giving up 32.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 45th in all of college football, while the defense is ranked 117th in the league. 

Slow Start for Nicholls State


It has been a slow start to the season for Nicholls State and they come into this game with a 1-2 record. In the first game of the season, they faced off against UIW, and they ended up winning 20-6. Since that point though, they have lost two games. In the last game against West Georgia, the offense scored 10 points, and the defense gave up 34 points, and which led to the blowout defeat. 

Under center for Nicholls is Deuce Hogan and he completed 11 of his 25 passes for 114 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Miequle Brook Jr was the top offensive player, finishing with 11 carries for 61 yards. He was good, but getting a few more explosive runs is going to be key here. In this game, to find success, the defense is going to need to be good. I just don’t think they are explosive enough to keep uin a high scoring game, so a good defense is going to be key. 

Nicholls State vs Texas State Prediction


Like stated above, I just don’t see how Nicholls State is able to keep up in a high scoring game, and that’s exactly what is going to happen here. In the last game, they gave up 34 points, and their defense is going to be blown up here. Texas State has a quality quarterback and is averaging over 36 points per game. Jackson didn’t throw any interceptions in his last game, and he’s going to take good care of the ball again here. Texas State will end up pulling away in the second half. Back Texas State to win this game and cover the spread.
