The Texas State Bobcats will face off against the Nevada Wolf Pack at 5:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Clarence Mackay Stadium. Last year was nothing to brag about for Texas State (4-8), so the team is looking forward to a new start. Nevada was 8-5 last season and is coming off of a 23-12 win against the New Mexico State Aggies on Saturday.
Two last-season stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Bobcats were 25th worst when it came to passing touchdowns allowed last year, with the squad giving up 27 overall (bottom 91%). Nevada's offense has more to brag about, as they they were ninth best in the nation in passing touchdowns, finishing the 2021 season with 38.
Since the experts predict a loss, Texas State will need to dig deep. Perhaps they'll be able to flip the script and come out with a big victory.
