HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — Brad Jackson ran for two touchdowns and passed for another, Christopher Jones added a 100-yard pick-6 and Texas State picked up its first Sun Belt Conference win this season, handing Southern Miss its first league loss 41-14 on Saturday.
Jackson ran for two short touchdowns and found Chris Dawn Jr. over the middle for an 82-yard score as the Bobcats (4-6, 1-5) took off to a 27-0 halftime lead.
Jones capped the win by picking off Landry Lyddy's pass a few yards deep in the Bobcats' end zone for the freshman's first career interception and returning it all the way in the fourth quarter.
