Hey its coach Colin Barton here, first off all I am very proud to be given the headcoach job at Texas State. It means alot to be given a new oppurtunity at the FBS level. Its going to come with alot of rough and tough times though, we are a brand new team just coming from the FCS so we have alot to prove, right now were a very under-rated and disrespected team, which is kind of expected coming from FCS. can tell you this right now though, were a team thats going to surprise some folks, We have a no bullshit attitude and are here to make a statement and to show we deserve our spot in the FBS, with that being said let the swag speak for itself.
Offense: We actaully have a very nice set of players at Quarterback and Halfback,QB Shaun Rutherford will be heavily relied on to control the game and minimize mistakes. At Running back we have sophomore speedster Terrance Franks carrying the load, Franks is an explosive back with the ability to break tackles, which he will need to as we are almost non-existant at fullback. At reciever we have 3 young Junior WR's starting for us, Although we dont have the speed that I would like we do have the ability to catch in traffic and throw some blocks on the outside. As far as the offensive line goes, we need to improve ALOT at tackle and center, this will probobly be a problem all season as Rutherford will have to use his feet to avoid sacks.
Defense: The defense will be lead by Junior Free safety Xavier Daniels, Xavier has some serious skills and is probobly one of the better safetys in the conference, be sure to see him do work for the D, Also manning the secondary is cornerback Darryl Morris, Morris has blazing fast speed and should be able to keep up with most of the divisions top WR's, The secondary looks great right now and should be able to shutdown opposing QB's. The other star on the defense is junior defensive end Thomas Evans, Evans has good awareness and has the physical ability to get by any linemen in the NCAA.
