Notes

San Marcos, Texas – Fresh off starting the season 3-1, the Texas State football team will look to make it 4-1 and more importantly, 1-0 in conference, as it heads to Lafayette, La., to take on the University of Louisiana, Saturday night. The game kicks off at 6:07 p.m. and can be seen throughout Central Texas on The CW Austin (KNVA) and on ESPN 3.

The Bobcats are coming off a 42-21 victory over Wyoming last Saturday at Bobcat Stadium. The game included a three-and-a half-hour weather delay and on the field, freshman quarterback Tyler Jones making his first start. Jones completed 14-of-18 passes for 196 yards and also gained 56 yards on the ground. He was helped by a strong running game as Robert Lowe had a career-high 138 yards on 30 carries, the most by a Texas State running back under Dennis Franchione since 2011.

Louisiana-Lafayette was tabbed the preseason favorite in the Sun Belt Conference, as it returns 14 starters from last year's team which went 9-4. The Ragin Cajuns enter the game 2-2 this season, including two straight victories over Nicholls and Akron.
