117) Texas State vs 140) Central Arkansas
The Bobcats got all the way down to the Central Arkansas 1 on their opening drive but settled for a field goal. They then took the ball from their own 5 and reached the Central Arkansas 30 before converting a 47-yard kick. 6-0 after quarter #1. The Bears got a pretty solid drive going, reaching the Texas St 6 after starting at their own 20, but a false start moves them back and Jake Gaster beefs a 28-yard kick. Texas State seizes the opportunity, marching 89 yards for a touchdown on a 18-yard pass from TJ Finley to Drew Donley. Deja vu for Central Arkansas as they again make it to the Texas St red zone from their own 20, but the Bobcat defense forces another 4th down and the Bears' FG attempt is the same as their placekicker - no good. Texas State completes a 56-yard hail mary on the last play of the half to take a 20-0 lead.
The teams trade punts to start the 2nd half, then Central Arkansas finally gets on the board on a 43-yard touchdown scamper by ShunDerrick Powell. Texas State can only gain 1 yard on their next drive, giving the Bears a short field, and
finally
Gaster sends a kick through the uprights to cut the lead to 10 early in the 4th. The Bobcat offense is completely out of sorts this half - this drive they move
backwards
6 yards before punting. The Bears again take advantage of the short field, this time pounding it in at the goal line after a 31-yard Powell run got them into the red zone, 20-17 Texas St. The Bobcats actually gain 20 yards to start their next series.........then go 2 yards in 3 plays and punt yet again. Central Arkansas has much further to go this time, taking over at their own 18, but QB Will McElvain gets the Bears into the red zone in one play on a 1st down bomb to Myles Butler. Knowing they don't have much of a kicker, the Bears go for the win, and RB Powell again finds the end zone on a 10-yard run with only a minute left:
The Bobcats.........then go 2 yards in 3 plays and punt yet again
140) Central Arkansas 24, 117) Texas State 20
Central Arkansas - 0 | 0 | 7 | 17
Texas State - 6 | 14 | 0 | 0
ShunDerrick Powell (CAU) - 17 carries, 199 yards, 2 TDs
TJ Finley (TSU) - 15/25 passing, 245 yards, 2 TDs
A tale of two halves; what a comeback. I think Powell stole the entire Texas State offense's talent at halftime, Space Jam style.
76) James Madison 33, 181) Monmouth 13
James Madison - 6 | 14 | 10 | 3
Monmouth - 3 | 7 | 0 | 3
Jordan McCloud (James) - 17/23 passing, 223 yards, 2 TD
Kaelon Black (James) - 17 carries, 114 yards, 1 TD
Marquez McCray (Mon) - 19/26 passing, 323 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Assanti Kearney (Mon) - 6 catches, 119 yards, 1 TD
Monmouth actually had the lead for a few minutes in the 2nd quarter. Then James Madison stepped on the gas and didn't look back.
53) Baylor 20, 204) McNeese State 3
Baylor - 3 | 7 | 0 | 10
McNeese State - 0 | 0 | 3 | 0
Sawyer Robertson (Bay) - 19/28 passing, 193 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT
Baylor has been pretty terrible irl and can't score on good teams, so I buy this
