Texas State tops Utah State 20-17 on Jacob Bonilla's field goal late in fourth quarter
Bonilla also hit a 51-yard field goal as Texas State held Utah State to 250 total yards.
On Saturday night, Jacob Bonilla's 37-yard field goal with less than two minutes remaining lifted Texas State to a 20-17 victory over Utah State.
Texas State's offense regained momentum in the third quarter when quarterback Brad Jackson scored on a 3-yard touchdown run at the end of a 13-play drive.
The Bobcats got a big boost from Jaylen Jenkins' 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and Bonilla's two field goals, including a 51-yarder, while managing 250 total yards.
Utah State tied the game at 17 with eight minutes remaining on a 6-yard touchdown pass from wide receiver Anthony Garcia to Kaina Watson and a 2-point conversion, but kicker Kian Afrookhteh missed a 48-yard field goal attempt on the final play.
Next Saturday, Texas State travels to Boise State while Utah State hosts Colorado State, as both teams continue their conference schedules.
