Texas State quarterback T.J. Finley posted on social media that he was returning for another season in San Marcos, until something changed.

Texas State's quarterback T.J. Finley announced that he's coming back for another season in San Marcos.

Texas State will make its bowl debut since becoming an FBS school against Rice in the First Responder Bowl. It’s the first meeting between the schools since the Owls won in 1987.

TJ Finley threw a pair of touchdown passes to Joey Hobert late in the game to rally Texas State to a 21-20 victory over Louisiana-Monroe.

– LSU coach Ed Orgeron says his team is contending with a corona virus outbreak and resulting quarantines that have made it difficult to know whether a number of starters or regulars will be available for Saturday's scheduled game against No. “We're talking to the doctors right now to see what's the best for Myles,” Orgeron said during his usual Monday-of-game-week media conference. The number of related quarantines due to possible exposure also have thinned his roster in recent days, he said. The SEC requires teams to have at least 53 scholarship players available, less than that and the scheduled game cannot be played. By the middle of the week, LSU expects to know if the game could still be held this weekend as scheduled, Orgeron said.
