Texas State Routs Incarnate Word 63-10 Behind Five Brad Jackson Touchdowns
Brad Jackson threw 20 passes and completed 17 of them for five touchdowns. Texas State was up 42-7 before halftime, and the 63-10 final was never in doubt for long.
The Bobcats scored first: a 63-yard pass from Jackson to Beau Sparks with 13:26 left in the first quarter. Incarnate Word tied it at 7-7 with a 32-yard pass from Emmett Brown to Roy Alexander at 10:55, and that was the only time the visitors were within reach. Jackson found Jordan Martin from 10 yards, Davian Jackson from 6, and then Torrance Burgess Jr. ripped off a 46-yard run to make it 28-7 at the end of the first quarter. Four touchdowns in the first quarter alone. Not bad for a Saturday.
Chris Dawn Jr. caught a 6-yarder in the second quarter, and Zechariah Sample hauled in a 69-yard pass with 2:44 left in the half to make it 42-7. A Nick Rigas field goal as the half ended made it 42-10, and Incarnate Word did not score again. Texas State added three more in the fourth: a 49-yard pass from Gavin Parkhurst to La'Keyleon Graves, a 45-yard run by Juntavious Harris and a 77-yard punt return by Dameon Crowe with 1:39 left, so the last touchdown did not even need the offense.
Texas State finished with 658 total yards (338 rushing on 45 carries, 320 passing), four sacks and no interceptions thrown, and goes to 2-2.
For fantasy, the quarterback was the story at 40.8 points. Burgess added 140 yards on nine carries, and Sample's one big catch was most of his week.
