Texas State was 3-9 last season, but there is optimism for the Bobcats to be much improved. SMU must be prepared in its season opener.
Texas State coach Jake Spavital is entering his second year in San Marcos, and the feeling around the program is one of optimism.
After a staggered 3-9 start to his head coaching career, Spavital is bringing back most of his team from a year ago. He's also adding a few junior college and Power 5 graduate transfers who could provide immediate help.
