The Bobcats nearly defeated the Sun Devils at home last season, losing 31-28. Head coach Kenny Dillingham then led Arizona State to a Big 12 Championship and a College Football Playoff appearance, losing to Texas in the quarterfinals.

Texas State is riding some road momentum from its 43-36 win over UTSA in the Alamodome. Quarterback Brad Jackson finished the game with 286 passing yards and three total touchdowns. When Dillingham spoke Tuesday about Jackson, he noted the redshirt freshman’s arm strength and Texas State’s explosive play rate.

“He made a play last week where he was working up in the pocket, almost running forward, and he lofts it almost 55 yards on the dot,” Dillingham said.
