Texas State Dominates Nicholls in Season Week 4 Blowout
Texas State dominated Nicholls 35-3 in Week 4, with the Bobcats controlling the game from start to finish. Texas State jumped ahead early with a Brad Jackson touchdown run in the first quarter, then pulled away with a 21-point second quarter to build a commanding lead.
Nicholls' offense struggled throughout, managing only a field goal in the opening quarter before being shut out the rest of the way. Quarterback Deuce Hogan led the Colonels' passing attack with 97 yards but was intercepted in critical moments, including a second-quarter pick-six situation. Jonathan Dartez led Nicholls with 9 receptions and 7 rushing yards.
Texas State's defense was particularly effective, forcing multiple negative plays including a 16-yard sack by Kalil Alexander in the third quarter. The Bobcats added seven more points in the third quarter to put the game completely out of reach.
The final margin of 32 points meant Nicholls covered the 32.5-point spread. The game finished well under the 57-point over-under, with a combined 38 total points scored.
