ATHENS, OH -- Texas State forced overtime with a field goal as time expired and eventually used a sack to pull out a 56-54 three-overtime victory in an offensive shootout with Ohio Saturday in their season opener.
 
The two teams, both nicknamed Bobcats, combined for . . . 

. . . nearly 1,176 yards and 110 points before it was over.
 
Tyler Jones put the visitors ahead with a 22-yard pass to L. G. Williams in the third overtime and followed with a short toss to Gabe Schrade for two points on the conversion. Ohio got the first six points back on an 18-yard pass from Elijah Ball to Greg Windham, but Ishmael Davis sacked Windham on the two-point try.
