Texas State’s awesome 90-yard play turns into touchback for Southern Miss

A great play by Texas State saw Southern Miss wind up with the football

Ismael Mahdi had one reception for 90 yards in Texas State’s 50-36 win on Saturday against Southern Miss.

The play became a highlight for a couple of reasons, the last of which was not favorable.

It looked like TJ Finley was about to be sacked but he somehow got the ball to Mahdi, who took off.

As Mahdi was about to cross the goal line 90 yards away, a Southern Miss defender jarred the ball loose from the Bobcat.

The fumble went out of bounds in the end zone and that turned the gain into a touchback with Southern Miss gaining possession.
