The 42-31 win over the Baylor Bears quickly became historic, and days later, fans are still reveling in the enthusiasm that can only come from standing proud as a victor.
After holding Baylor to just a field goal on the Bears opening possession, Texas State responded with a 10-yard touchdown pass from TJ Finley to Ismail Mahdi to take a 7-0 lead.

That field goal proved to be a difference maker, as the Bobcats scored back to back touchdowns, taking a commanding 21-6 lead.
