All is fair in love and war, and there was no love lost between the Bobcats and the Roadrunners on Saturday. The programs met on the gridiron in the famed H-E-B I-35 Showdown rivalry game for just the third time in series history, and fans got quite the treat as the two slugged out the closest contest to date.
This game had it all — turnovers, safeties, blocked punts, onside kicks, trick plays.
It all got off to a scorching start during the game-opening drive, when Texas State quarterback Willie Jones III was ambushed on just the third snap from scrimmage by a scrum led by middle linebacker Josiah Tauaefa.
