Texas State’s Brian Holloway with pair of pick-sixes in First Responder Bowl

Brian Holloway of Texas State had a huge game in his return to SMU’s Gerald J. Ford Stadium

Brian Holloway transferred from SMU to Texas State. There was a kind of synergy when he returned to the Mustangs’ home stadium on Tuesday for the First Responders Bowl against Rice.

Holloway made the most of his familiar surroundings with a pair of pick-sixes.

The first came in the second quarter and was returned 36 yards. The second was good for 48 yards in the third quarter and gave the Bobcats a 38-21 lead.
