Texas State vs Princeton Prediction 

Texas State comes into this matchup trying to snap their three-game losing streak and while their defense has played pretty well this season, they allowed 82 points on Thursday. Princeton also lost on Thursday and allowed 80 points in the game. These two teams are very similar offensively, but Texas State did battle TCU pretty tough a few games ago. I don’t love this game at all, but I will side with Texas State, as I think their defense can bounce back.
