Texas State surrenders 14-point lead, falls to South Alabama

Texas State (1-2) fans were taken on a roller coaster ride of emotions Saturday night.

What looked like a comfortable win against South Alabama turned into a frustrating loss when South Alabama overcame a 14-point deficit to knock off Texas State 41-31. Sophomore quarterback Willie Jones III went out in the third quarter with an ankle injury and true freshman Tyler Vitt came in. The game swung on a pick-six on his first pass that cut Texas State’s lead to one score. South Alabama scored 17 straight to end the game.
