Over the course of his coaching career, Jake Spavital learned that there’s about three to five plays that decide a game’s outcome.
He pointed a few out that took place in Texas State’s 24-21 loss at Boston College last Saturday. In the fourth quarter, the Bobcats ran the ball on 3rd and 1 that resulted in a two-yard loss for sophomore running back Brock Sturges. On Texas State’s next drive, Brady McBride dropped back to pass on 3rd and 6 but was sacked for a 12-yard loss.
The Eagles drove down to the Texas State 15-yard line on the next possession. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Phil Jurkovec missed on a throw on 3rd and 5 but the Bobcats were flagged for roughing the passer. BC scored two plays later to tie the game up at 21-21.
