Three Thoughts: Big Plays Propel Texas State Past UTSA in I-35 Rivalry
Brad Jackson, Texas State outlasted rival UTSA in the Alamodome thanks to big plays, poise in pressure moments as the Bobcats make a statement against Roadrunners.
SAN ANTONIO, TX – The biggest compliment a professional wrestling rivalry receives is when the crowd chants “Fight Forever, Fight Forever” as the two combatants fight for the countless time. The 45,778 in attendance for the rubber match between Jeff Traylor and G.J. Kinne were too nervous to coordinate that chant as UTSA and Texas State put on a show for the third-biggest home crowd in Roadrunner history, but it would’ve been fitting.
UTSA was 29-3 at home in the Traylor era. One of those losses was in triple overtime to Houston in 2022 and a pair of games to Army, a program that is an honorary home team in the Alamo City. UTSA was also 5-0 against Texas State to start the rivalry before last year’s blowout loss. UTSA was the King of the G5 in Texas and the clear big brother in the I-35 rivalry.
