Texas State vs Louisiana Game Preview
Why Texas State Will Win
How well can the Bobcats run the ball?
They’ve had moments here and there, but they were able to overcome a slew of their other issues by running all over South Alabama in a stunning win a few weeks ago. When they can’t control things on the ground – even a little bit – bad things happen.
Louisiana has been a bit too inconsistent. The wins are rolling, but some days the passing attack works, and some days if doesn’t really show up. The offense pitched a gem against Appalachian State, and then it went right back to moving the ball well without scoring enough in a too-tight 28-27 win over a bad Arkansas State team.
Texas State has to keep this close – four of the six Louisiana wins were decided by eight points or fewer.

What’s Going To Happen
This is a weird Louisiana team.
It’s on a six-game winning streak, it blew the doors off of Appalachian State, but it struggled against … Arkansas State? South Alabama? Georgia Southern?
A win is a win is a win, but it would be nice to come up with a breather going into the finishing kick. This can’t be a West-clinching game, but if the Ragin’ Cajuns win and ULM loses to Appalachian State, they’ll earn a piece of the division title.
It won’t be easy.
Texas State won’t come up with enough good defensive stops, but the offense will be dangerous enough to make Levi Lewis and company keep pushing.
