- Texas State lost in the "Battle for the Paddle" series for the first time in three seasons. The Bobcats only held three leads in the course of the game that spanned four quarters and four overtime periods.
- After struggling to run the ball against Southeastern Louisiana last week, Texas State couldn't get any traction Saturday night. The Bobcats rushed for 17 yards on 14 carries in the first half and finished with 89 on 38.
- Texas State couldn't get any push off the line because of the ineffectiveness of its tackles. Both Michael Chambers and Jason Hannan were abused by the Nicholls State defensive ends and linebackers. Chambers and Hannan also each allowed a sack in the first half.
- Not all was bad for the Bobcats as true freshman quarterback Tyler Arndt sliced apart the Colonels' secondary for 348 yards and four touchdowns. Arndt hooked up with Da'Marcus Griggs 11 times for 205 yards and a pair of scores.
- Darryl Morris led Texas State with seven tackles while three different Bobcats (Prestin Brown, Jeff Clermond and Sam Pier) recorded two or more tackles behind the line of scrimmage.

hum?? No mention of the player who had the LATE hit call out of bounds that gave Nichols a 1st down at the 20?? That was a game changer!! 3 missed FG's- which if made --would have not resulted in OT-seriously....
@Debbie — I did mention the player who had the late hit out of bounds (Darryl Morris) but not what he did. I should have more on it this (Tuesday) afternoon after I speak with Texas State head coach Brad Wright and defensive coordinator Fred Bleil. Those three missed FGs were mentioned in my game story as well as a story coming out in today's Daily Record. Thanks for reading.
