Wrapping up Texas State's 48-28 win

The Bobcats scored 27 points in the first half and were able to hold off Angelo State. Texas State got big days from quarterback Bradley George and wide receiver Cedric Alexander. You can read the story from the game here.

To wrap up the game, the only true way is to break it down by; the good, bad and ugly.

Good

• Bradley George: He started the season off on the right foot, completing 18-of-27 passes for 328 yards and three touchdowns. George, at one point, completed all but one of his passes (9 of 10). While ASU intercepted George twice, he made good reads and put the ball where it needed to be. His mid-range passes were on ropes, but needs to lead his receivers a bit more on the deep ball.
• Texas State's WRs: The Bobcats' receivers basically reeled in everything George threw their way. Ten different players caught passes from George, led by Da'Marcus Griggs (five). Cedric Alexander ran his routes well, especially the crossing pattern which left him wide open for the 48-yard touchdown. Daren Dillard made big catches which forced the Rams to double him and Alvaro Garcia had good field vision taking a pass 71 yards inside the ASU 20.
• Texas State's defensive line: ASU came into the game ready to run the ball down the Bobcats' throats. Texas State limited the Rams to 29 yards in the first half and 93 in the game. Adley Eshraghipour and Garrett Hood held their ground in the trenches, allowing Marcus Clark and Jopolo Bartu to slide into the backfield.

Bad

• Texas State's rushing attack: Once Karrington Bush went down with an injury in the first quarter, it was nonexistent. The majority of the Bobcats' rushing yards were from Alexander (a wide receiver) and Ben Follis (the punter). Frank Reddic looked good in his first collegiate game, but couldn't bust through the initial contact. Alvin Canady got a bulk of the carries (13), but only rushed for 34 yards.

Ugly

• Texas State's secondary in the second half: The Bobcats couldn't stop ASU quarterback Josh Neiswander. He picked apart Texas State's secondary after halftime, passing for 210 yards and two touchdowns. Neiswander found holes in the Bobcats' weak zone and exploited it. Ram wide receiver K'Veon Lacey caught nine passes for 150 yards (16.7 yards per catch). ASU could have had a lot more than 28 points if it focused on the pass in the first half, instead of the run.
• Texas State's special teams: Where to start? The Bobcats allowed a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown immediately following their first score. Texas State's players didn't cover the running lanes and ASU's Garrett Tidwell broke it open. The Bobcats nearly allowed another touchdown on a punt return, but Tidwell was tripped up near the 50-yard line. Follis' kickoffs were poorly placed and allowed the Rams good field position.
