Texas State matchup follows Oregon State’s Fresno State loss

Oregon State’s 38–22 Oct. 31 loss ended its five-game winning streak, left it 5–3 overall and 3–1 in Pac-12 play, and dropped it from both major polls. Texas State’s dual-threat quarterback Brad Jackson is a key focus; opposing scouting adds his turnover risk and Texas State’s inconsistent pass defense as factors. Listings still conflict on whether kickoff is Nov. 7 or Nov. 8, so verify the date with an authoritative schedule.
