Texas State opens up against McNeese State

In the week leading up to today's game, Texas State seemed confident its defense will be able to at least slow down McNeese State. The Cowboys have the top-ranked offense in the Football Championship Subdivision and put up 40.7 points per game.

Several Bobcat defensive players mentioned the goalline stop against Texas Southern as a changing point for the season. They are feeling more confident in themselves and want to carry it with them going into their Southland Conference schedule.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
