Texas State dominates early, upends Baylor football 42-31 for historic win

By Michael Haag | Sports Editor

To fans, it may have felt like Baylor football hit rock bottom when it capped off a 6-7 season with a 30-15 loss to Air Force last year. But the Bears outdid themselves when they gave Texas State its first win over a Power Five opponent in program history, as the Bobcats secured a 42-31 victory Saturday night at McLane Stadium.

Baylor (0-1) entered the game as 26.5-point favorites — rarely threatened by a Texas State (1-0) squad that had a first-year head coach in G.J. Kinne and 71 total newcomers on its roster.
