SAN MARCOS, Texas -- Tyler Hall picked off a pass and returned it for the go-ahead score and Cooper Rothe kicked three field goals to lead Wyoming to a 23-14 victory over Texas State on Saturday.

Rothe's second field goal -- a 37-yarder -- pulled the Cowboys (2-0) within 14-13 at the 10:44 mark of the third quarter. On Texas State's next possession, Hall intercepted a Gresch Jensen pass and raced 72 yards for the score and a 20-14 lead. Rothe capped the scoring with a 19-yard field goal in the final quarter.

The Bobcats (0-2) controlled the first half, scoring on Caleb Twyford's run after Jensen hit Micah Hilts for a 36-yard gain to the Cowboys' 1-yard line. After Rothe made his first field goal -- a 47-yarder -- to cut the Cowboys' deficit to 7-3, Jensen hooked up with Jah'Marae Sheread for a 50-yard score and a 14-3 lead. Sean Chambers' 7-yard TD run cut the Cowboys' deficit to 14-10 at halftime.
