2007 Texas State Football Preview

SAN MARCOS, Texas - Since being named Texas State’s 15th head football coach at the beginning of the year, Brad Wright and the Bobcat coaching staff have inked their first signing class and the ’Cats went through their first series of spring drills with a new staff. Now, attention turns to Wright’s first season at the helm.

Prior to being named head coach, Wright had served as assistant head coach and running backs coach at Texas State for three seasons. He also coordinated the special teams units for the Bobcats. No other Southland Conference team won more league games over that span of time than Texas State. In the last three years, the Bobcats are 11-6 (.647) in Southland Conference games.

This year, Texas State returns 44 lettermen including eight starters on offense and five on defense. And while this year’s team as a whole has gained a year of experience and maturity, the core of the group is still young. Listed among the 44 returners are just 14 seniors.

If you look at the numbers this is a team that is built to compete for championships for the next three years at least because of its core stability. I think that Texas State has been underrated by a lot of people (at least I hope so) and will surprise some people this year. It all depends on how the team comes together with the new coaching staff and new offensive and defensive schemes.
