What the news says about this game

San Diego State is dealing with a mumps outbreak heading into Saturday's game (reported 2026-10-01), which could significantly impact roster availability. Texas State arrives 2-2 with momentum from back-to-back wins: Brady Jackson threw 5 TD passes in a 63-10 rout of Incarnate Word (2026-09-27) and Davian Jackson scored 4 TDs in a 49-35 win over North Texas (2026-09-19). San Diego State is 1-3 with three consecutive blowout losses: 41-16 to Toledo (2026-09-26), 28-10 to UCLA (2026-09-13), and 26-13 to James Madison (2026-09-20). The mumps outbreak adds significant uncertainty to an already struggling team.
