There’s no question Texas State is frustrated with Saturday’s loss to Incarnate Word. The question that remains, though, is whether it derails the rest of the Bobcats’ season.
It’s the type of loss that no one at Texas State expected or planned for, the type that can have serious, negative impacts on the long-term outlook of a program. That’s not a slight to the Cardinals — a team that finished the 2020 season nationally ranked and became one of 10 FCS schools who’ve already pulled off upsets over FBS teams this year. But it is the reality of playing at the highest level of college football.
There were no words spoken in the locker room at Bobcat Stadium after the game until head coach Jake Spavital broke the silence. He shifted the focus to the rest of the season.
