Texas State rushed for four touchdowns in the first half as the Nicholls State University football team suffered a 35-3 loss Saturday night at UFCU Stadium.

With the loss, Nicholls dropped to 1-3 overall, which includes a pair of FBS losses, while Texas State improved to 3-1. Since making the transition to the FBS, the Bobcats have won the last three meetings in the all-time series.

The Colonel offense was limited to 224 yards with Miequle Brock Jr. accounting for 95 yards, rushing 11 times for 59 yards while adding six receptions. Quarterback Deuce Hogan completed 15 of 21 passes for 97 yards and had one interception which came in the end zone right before halftime. For the defense, Ty Marsh led with nine tackles while Ethan Lee and Laurence Sullivan Jr. had seven each.

Texas State scored on its opening drive, going 92 yards on 13 plays. Bobcat QB Brad Jackson ended the possession with a 9-yard touchdown run for an early 7-0 advantage. But Nicholls was able to answer with its own scoring drive, helped by a 19-yard rush by Shane Lee. Gabriel Showalter put the Colonels on the board with a 32-yard field goal.

On the kickoff, Ethan Lee attempted an onside kick and recovered it, but the ball did not travel 10 yards and the Bobcats took over at midfield. Texas State then grabbed a 14-3 advantage on Jackson's second TD run of the half.

Following consecutive Colonel punts, the Bobcats scored two more rushing touchdowns. Torrance Burgess Jr. found the end zone from 7 yards out before Lincoln Pare scored on a 9-yard carry for a 28-3 lead.

Nicholls pieced together a two-minute drill, getting a 15-yard rush by Brock to start the drive before a pair of penalties moved the ball down to the Bobcat 3. But on third down, Hogan lofted a pass to the corner of the end zone and it was picked off by Khamair Terrell for the Bobcats' first turnover of the year.

In the third quarter, Texas State notched its fifth rushing score on a Greg Burrell 5-yard TD to make the final.

Jackson completed 13 of 20 passes for 180 yards and the Bobcat offense racked up 199 yards on the ground.

Nicholls will play its final nonconference game with a trip to Eastern Kentucky on Saturday, Sept. 27. Kickoff in Richmond is scheduled for 5 p.m. central.
