The Bobcats built a commanding 35-7 lead through three quarters before Jaylen Jenkins delivered the exclamation point with an electrifying 100-yard kick return touchdown. Despite a late scoring flurry from the Jaguars, who put up 19 fourth-quarter points, Texas State controlled the contest from start to finish at UFCU Stadium.
