Tarleton State did it again! For the second straight season, an FCS program took down an FBS giant, with the Texans rolling into Bowling Green and snagging a huge 20-13 road win Saturday. This team clearly thrives on proving everyone wrong.

Hines Goes Absolutely OFF

Tylan Hines was an absolute cheat code out there for Tarleton State. The running back went completely bananas, racking up a mind-blowing 297 yards from scrimmage! We’re talking 250 rushing yards on 26 carries, and then he snagged two catches for another 47 receiving yards. That’s just wild, man, a single player absolutely dominating an FBS defense like that.

Not Their First Rodeo

QB Kaden Anderson was slinging it too, tossing touchdown passes to wideouts Marquis Willis and Tanner Schmidt early on. They stormed out to a 17-0 lead in the second quarter. And get this: this isn’t even their first rodeo doing this! Last year, these Texans went on the road and beat Army, an FBS team, 30-27 in a double overtime thriller. Talk about a program that just doesn’t care about the letters next to the division name.

This win, second in two years against an FBS team, makes you wonder what’s next for Tarleton State. Keep an eye on these guys; they’re clearly not afraid of the big stage.
