The Texas State Bobcats have lost ten games each of the past two seasons, but help appears to be on the way for this program. Coach Everett Withers has remade the Bobcats in his image and now has his players in place. As these players grow and get more experience, the Bobcats should improve. It may not happen this year, but look for the Bobcats to finish this season strong.

Willie Jones III is the frontrunner to start at quarterback. He is a mobile quarterback with a big arm who struggles with accuracy issues. Anthony Smith looked good at running back down the stretch and may vault to the top of the depth chart this season. The offensive line was young and shaky last season, but now they return intact and more experienced. The line cannot be any worse than it was last season so there is only one direction for the offensive line.

Thanks to injuries and attrition, a large number of Bobcats gained experience on the defensive side of the ball last season. Most of those players return this season. The Bobcats have a plethora of sophomores in place who will be taking key steps in their development this season. The Bobcats will have to prevent the second-and-shorts that is saw all too often last years. The good news for Texas State is that the Sun Belt does not have much difference between top and bottom of the conference. A couple of breaks could have the Bobcats competitive when it is time for conference play.
