South Alabama coach Steve Campbell notched his first victory in Mobile despite three different double-digit deficits, as Texas State drops a heartbreaking game, 41-31.
On paper the Bobcats dominated. Texas State held the ball 13 minutes more than South ‘Bama, the Jags committed 15 penalties for a whopping 143 yards and the defense held the Jags to only two third-down conversions.
After the Bobcats and Jaguars exchanged similar drives (muffed punts leading to field goals) Texas State’s defense had an impressive showing flexing the hit stick and holding the Jaguars to 3.8 yards a carry in the first half.
