The victory is a reversal of fortune for the Bobcats who have had a rough go of it since joining the FBS in 2012. The team has a 40-92 overall record at the FBS level and are 0-6 all-time against the Bears.

Cameron Stuart @realcamstuart

Historic win for Texas State.<br><br>Amidst how bad Baylor was today, you have to give the Cats credit. They smacked the Bears in the mouth right away and Baylor had no answer defensively the whole night.<br><br>Absolute nightmare for Dave Aranda's team.

As a fan of Baylor football from what I'm seeing on Twitter I'm SUPER happy I'm in Japan and not watching this game.

BAYLOR WHAT HAPPPPPEEEEENDDDD

The Bobcats now have their marquee win of the season but now will shift focus towards a strong season in the Sun Belt Conference and trying to qualify for a Bowl Game for the first time in program history.

The Bears, on the other hand, will look to rebound from the upset loss by playing spoilers themselves next week against defending Pac-12 champion Utah.
