JONESBORO -- With no chance of reaching the six-victory mark for a bowl game invitation, Texas State is playing like a team that has nothing to lose.
It wasn't hard for Arkansas State University Coach Blake Anderson to notice when he flipped on the film and saw the Bobcats (2-8, 1-5 Sun Belt Conference) score two touchdowns on trick plays in their 45-35 loss to New Mexico State two weeks ago.
That, paired with an offense that has scored nearly as many points in its last three games (92) than it did in the previous seven (96), unsettled Anderson in a way Texas State's dismal record couldn't.
