Swanson’s Pick-6 in 4th Gets Troy Past Texas State 31-28

Kimani Vidal ran for 162 yards and two touchdowns, Keyshawn Swanson had a fourth-quarter interception return for a touchdown, and Troy beat Texas State 31-28.

Swanson caught Brady McBride’s overthrown pass at the Bobcats 32, ran along the left sideline and broke one tackle before crossing the goal line to cap the scoring with 8:18 remaining.

McBride threw a 75-yard TD pass to Javen Banks and added a pair of short-yardage scoring throws late in the third quarter for Texas State (2-4, 1-1).

Troy is now 4-3. The Trojans’ next game is at No. 15 Coastal Carolina Thursday night, Oct. 28.
