The 2020 season was the first in which Texas State didn’t face an FCS opponent since moving up to the FBS level in 2012.
The Bobcats are 8-0 against schools from their former subdivision during that span of time. They’ll return to playing against FCS opponents this year when they take on Incarnate Word.
The Cardinals last took on the maroon and gold in 2016, falling in San Marcos, 48-17. UIW was ranked No. 25 in the FCS in the 2020 preseason and rose to No. 13 after opening the spring with three wins, including two over ranked opponents. But the team fell out of the rankings after closing out the year with three straight losses, including its season finale against national champion Sam Houston State.
