Louisiana survived a furious fourth-quarter rally from Texas State to secure a 42-39 victory in Week 11. The Bobcats mounted a late offensive explosion, scoring 19 points in the final quarter to nearly complete an improbable comeback.

Louisiana controlled much of the game with a dominant second quarter, outscoring Texas State 28-7 to build what appeared to be a commanding lead. However, Texas State's offense, led by quarterback Brad Jackson's 360 passing yards, refused to quit. The Bobcats struck quickly in the fourth quarter with multiple touchdown drives, including scores from B. Sparks and C. Dawn Jr., putting intense pressure on the Ragged Cajuns' lead.

Despite Texas State's late-game heroics, Louisiana's defense made crucial stops when it mattered most, with five of the game's most impactful plays coming from the Louisiana defense against Texas State's offense. Lincoln Pare paced the Bobcats' rushing attack with 89 yards. The game went over the over-under of 63.5 points, and Louisiana covered the 3.5-point spread with their three-point victory.
