Southern Miss found its fourth win of the season on Saturday night, defeating Texas State by a score of 20-14.
In what was a crazy ending, the Bobcats scored a 74-yard touchdown with 1:21 remaining to take a 14-13 lead. Just 49 seconds later, Southern Miss quarterback Zach Wilcke connected with Chandler Pittman on a 53-yard go-ahead touchdown.
