• Ben Follis nails a punt that goes out of bounds at the 1-yard line, yet Texas State jumps offside to move the ball out to the six.

• Demon quarterback John Hundley picked off by Morris Crosby. Two turnovers for the Bobcat defense.
• George has plenty of time to find Darren Dillard for a 46-yard touchdown pass.

• Northwestern kneels it going into the half. 14-all.
