SAN MARCOS, Texas - The Bobcats and Vandals played a turnover plagued game in Bobcats Stadium on Saturday that saw Texas State eke out an ugly 22-19 win at home.
With a total of eight turnovers committed altogether, neither side looked particularly competent on either side of the ball. Yet, for the Bobcats, a win still counts no matter its appearance.
"Not the prettiest game I've ever been a part of, thats for sure" joked HC Franchione after the game.
"Still, I think being able to win in any situation is valuable for a football team"
With the Bobcats off next week, Texas State (3-3) will face San Jose State (2-5) on the road in Week 9 (10/27). The Bobcats are hopeful that some key defensive members returning to the starting squad from injury. The game will be televised regionally.
