The Huskies (0-1) fell in their season opener to FBS foe Texas State, 20-11, in San Marcos. Freshman quarterback Bailey Zappe made his debut by completing 21-of-34 passes for 199 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. Senior running back Terrance Peters rushed 12 times for 51 yards and a touchdown in the first half against the Bobcats, but missed the second half with an injury. Freshman receiver Dennis Houston made seven catches for 73 yards.
HBU won last season's meeting at Husky Stadium, 24-20, on Sept. 10. Austin Watts' eight-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown reception, followed by his 93-yard punt return for a touchdown gave TSU its first lead with 5:53 remaining, but Peters broke free for a 51-yard touchdown run to put HBU ahead for good. Peters rushed for a school-record 155 yards and two touchdowns, while quarterback Tony Dawson went 19-for-27 for 150 yards and a touchdown and also rushed for 46 yards.
