The Texas State Bobcats will play at the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in 2018 and at the Texas A&M Aggies in 2019, FBSchedules.com has learned.

Texas State will travel to face Rutgers at High Point Solutions Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey on Sept. 1, 2018. The Bobcats will receive a $1.2 million guarantee for their first-ever matchup against Rutgers, according to a copy of the contract obtained via a public records request to Texas State University.
