Texas State made waves on a national level on September 2, 2023.
The Bobcats, opening a new era of Texas State football under head coach GJ Kinne, handled Baylor 42-31 at McLane Stadium in Waco behind a stellar performance from TJ Finley and a tenacious defense that tallied 10 tackles for loss, 3 sacks and 2 late – but crucial – takeaways.
The win was not just any season-opening victory. It was not just the first win of the 21st head coach in program history. It was not just the biggest upset win in college football in two years.
