Believe it or not, we're past the halfway mark of the 2023 college football season after an exicting Week 7 across the Lone Star State. Each of the state's 13 FBS programs have all played at least six games. Four teams played midweek with UTEP, SMU, and Houston winning before Saturday. Sam Houston fell to 0-6 in its maiden voyage into the FBS ranks after a loss to New Mexico State. Three teams – Texas, Baylor, and Rice – were idle. The rest of the state played on Saturday.
The weekend brought mostly positive results for the Lone Star State. In-state teams won four of the six games with a comeback win for Texas State overe ULM headlining the slate.
