Things don’t happen overnight. They just sometimes appear to.
In the case of Texas State, a decade of near FBS obscurity seemingly evaporated in an instant last season.

Texas State capped off the season by supplying SMU’s Gerald Ford Stadium with its largest crowd of the year – including SMU home games – in the First Responder’s Bowl.
