This is an 8* BATTLE OF THE BOBCATS ATS BLOWOUT on Ohio.
Setting the scene: Is Texas State poised for a break out year? Can Ohio duplicate its 8-4 season from a year ago and or better that mark? If history is any precedence, then those answers are "no," and "yes." Note that Texas State allowed at least 37 points in each road game last year, going 0-6, while Ohio would go 5-1 at home.
The Texas State Bobcats: Texas State will have its hands full today vs. Ohio's pass oriented offense. The Bobcats finished ninth in the 11-team Sun Belt in pass defense last year. Texas State brings back QB Tyler Jones and RB Tyler Siudzinski, but doesn't have a single player on the roster who caught more than one pass last season.
The Ohio Bobcats: Ohio possesses a trio of top rated WR's in Sebastian Smith (who had 65 passes for 777 yards and seven TD's last year), Jordan Reid (45 catches for 616 yards and five TD's) and Brendan Cope (30, 510, 2). QB JD Sprague is gone, but Greg Windham is expected to fill in seamlessly. It's hard to imagine Texas State slowing down these three guys whatsoever. Ohio is also strong in the backfield, an attack led by AJ Ouellette, who had 687 yards and six TD's last season.
The bottom line: Texas State has just 71 players on scholarship compared to roughly 85 for most teams, so that immediately limits its overall depth. This is a major mismatch in all three phases, all signs point to a lop-sided destruction. Play on OHIO.
