Tarleton State University’s football team captured a 20-13 victory on the road against Bowling Green, notching their second consecutive win at the FBS level and continuing a resurgence that began after the 2006 FCS/FBS division realignment.
Running back Tylan Hines powered the offense with a 250-yard performance that tied for fifth in program history, while quarterback Kaden Anderson added 206 passing yards and two touchdowns, showcasing a balanced attack that kept the Texans ahead throughout the contest.
Road Success Fuels Momentum
On defense, the Texans forced two fumbles, with defensive back Jadan Aubert sparking the turnover, and fellow backs Fredd Adams and Koby Dickens each recovering a fumble, a effort that helped seal the win and highlighted the unit’s aggressive mindset.
The 464-386 total‑yard advantage, coupled with a 258‑to‑103 rushing edge, underscored Tarleton’s dominance at the line of scrimmage, while the 20-13 score reflected a hard‑fought battle that saw the visitors overcome a late‑game surge by the hosts.
The win marks the 16th program in history to achieve back‑to‑back FBS victories and adds to Tarleton’s standing as the 23rd FCS school to record three or more FBS wins, a milestone reached after the program’s first FBS triumph in 2021, and it improves the Texans’ road record to 4-3 in Division I play.
The Texans will now embark on back‑to‑back road games, beginning with a September 12 showdown at McNeese in Lake Charles, Louisiana, a stretch that tests the team’s depth and resilience as they aim to extend their winning streak.
