Texas State’s mounted a late comeback, but the Bobcats couldn’t overcome Coastal Carolina on Saturday, falling 24-21 in Conway, South Carolina.
The teams held each other scoreless in the first quarter, but CCU (5-7, 2-6 Sun Belt) finally broke through in the second, marching 13 plays and 64 yards for a touchdown. Texas State (3-9, 2-6) answered back later in the period. Sophomore quarterback Tyler Vitt found senior wide receiver Mason Hays for a 64-yard pass to the end zone to tie the game back up.
The Bobcats couldn’t overcome their own mistakes, though. The Chanticleers scored another touchdown late in the third quarter. Vitt threw an interception on the following drive that led to a field goal for the hosts at the beginning of the fourth.
