Overview
- Texas State overwhelmed Incarnate Word in San Marcos on Saturday night with a 63-10 final score driven by a dominant first half.
- Quarterback Brad Jackson completed 17 of 20 passes for 244 yards and five first-half touchdown passes before being replaced midway through the third quarter.
- Running back Torrance Burgess Jr. added balance with 140 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries, and the Bobcats scored several long TDs, including a 63-yard pass to Beau Sparks and a 69-yard catch by Zechariah Sample.
- Freshman Gavin Parkhurst saw game action in the second half and threw a 49-yard touchdown, a move that highlighted Texas State’s depth as coaches finished out the rout.
