Summary

Texas State football is set to begin its Pac-12 conference play with an away game against San Diego State in San Diego, California. The Bobcats enter this matchup with momentum, having secured two consecutive victories.
Their most recent game was a resounding 63-10 win against the Incarnate Word Cardinal. Quarterback Brad Jackson has shown marked improvement after a sluggish start to the season, and the team's offensive line is considered one of the best in the Pac-12.
Running backs Torrance Burgess Jr. and Davian Jackson have been particularly effective, contributing to the Bobcats' recent success. The team's defense has also been showing recent signs of improvement, despite currently leading the conference in passing yards allowed per game.
Meanwhile, San Diego State is facing considerable adversity. A significant mumps outbreak has impacted the team, rendering at least 14 players unavailable for the game. Furthermore, running backs Lucky Sutton and Javion Kinnard are sidelined due to injuries sustained in a previous loss to Toledo.
Compounding these issues is the inconsistent play of quarterback Jayden Denegal, making the Aztecs' offensive prospects appear challenging. The game is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. CDT at Snap Dragon Stadium.
