Texas State fans showed up last Saturday wearing pink to support breast cancer awareness as the Bobcat football team returned home to take on Nicholls State. The Colonels took the lead first with this eight-yard run by LaQuintin Caston in the opening quarter. After a second quarter interception by the Cats, Tyler Arndt hit Da'Marcus Griggs for one of his two touchdown grabs of the game, this from 44 yards out to tie it. Midway in the third, Justin Garelick had a chance to take the lead, but his field goal attempt was blocked and the Colonels took it to the house for a 14-7 lead. Arndt added touchdown passes to Daren Dillard and Griggs to take a 21-14 lead in the 4th quarter. The Colonels tied it on the last play of regulation with this touchdown pass to Kenyad Blair. The game would go into four -- that's what I said, FOUR -- overtime periods before Nicholls State converted this two-point conversion to win the game 47-45. The Bobcats are 0 and 2 in Souhland Conference play and face Northwestern State this Saturday at three o'clock for the homecoming game.
