SAN MARCOS, Texas – Hunter Duplessis kicked a 29-yard field goal in the second overtime, Frank Harris accounted for four touchdowns, and UTSA won its season opener, beating Texas State 51-48 in a wild finish on Saturday. Sincere McCormick ran for a program-record 197 yards on 29 carries and had a 5-yard touchdown run for UTSA. Harris was 23-of-31 passing for 169 yards and threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Cephus, who made a spectacular one-handed catch in the first overtime.

The 2020 college football season officially kicks off this weekend, and Texas State is eager to start their second season under head coach Jake Spavital. Texas State athletes and coaches have shouldered the burden of uncertainty for months now. With all of the testing that weve done, it was taking 2.5 hours to do all 250 of us. The Coppell, Texas native transferred to the Bobcats from Memphis, but missed all of the 2019 campaign due to the NCAAs transfer bylaws. That national spotlight has added another layer of hype as the team prepares for game day.
