Texas State at No. 12 Texas A&M

Kickoff: Thursday, Aug. 29 at 8:30 p.m. ET

Spread: Texas A&M -33.5

When No. 12 Texas A&M takes the field against the visiting Texas State Bobcats on Thursday, college football fans will quickly learn about the state of the Aggies in 2019. A&M is coming off an impressive 2018 season, finishing 9-4 (5-3 SEC) with an end-of-season No. 16 AP ranking after wiping out NC State (52-13) in the Gator Bowl. The Bobcats were an afterthought a year ago with a 3-9 (1-7 Sun Belt) record. The offensive performance for the Bobcats was statistically among the worst in the nation, but a couple of new additions in San Marcos with a stout returning defense could make for an interesting season opener for A&M.

Had nothing changed in San Marcos from last season, you could consider this contest a “layup win” for A&M. But Texas State has a new head coach in offensive-minded Jake Spavital and an offensive coordinator in Bob Stitt who is known for his innovation. Last season, the Bobcats could muster only 330 total yards per game while averaging 20 points per outing against lower-tier FBS foes. With Spavital, Stitt, and transfer quarterback Gresch Jensen from Montana, Texas State fans can expect their team to put up a fight on Thursday.
