College Football: Texas State holds its first spring scrimmage (VIDEO)




A few notes...
  • The Bobcats cycled through several first-team QBs to try to find any consistency in the group. Eric Soza and Tim Hawkins started the day with the first team (mainly Soza) but by the end, Alvaro Garcia got his shot.
  • Hawkins didn't look sharp at all, but he did lead an 80-yard drive to close practice. The ball was placed at the opposite 3-yard line and the first-team offense tried to score against the first-team defense. Hawkins' legs kept several plays alive, but two incomplete passes stalled any chance at a score.
  • Frank Reddic and Dexter Imade looked strong running the ball yesterday. Reddic and Imade should see steady carries next season.
  • Texas State's coaches moved Corey Petro, a redshirt freshman wide receiver, to running back in an effort to give that position depth. Petro earned all-state Class 5A honorable mention and first-team District 3-5A honors as a running back at Midland Lee.
  • The Bobcats recorded two sacks yesterday as redshirt freshman Roger Martinez and soon-to-be-senior Ron Jackson wrapped up the quarterback.
  • Texas State's secondary came out ready to play, putting a few big hits on the wide receivers and picking off three passes.

My brother is Corey Petro, not to be rude but he actually earned All-State honors Honorable Mention and All-District 3-5A First-Team honors as a running back for Midland Lee. Thanks for writing about him, he works really hard. Go Bobcats!

Thanks for stopping by and I'll change that right away. He's looking to be a solid third to fourth option for Texas State this year.

gocats!, Thanks for checking out the blog. Roger looks to be in great shape for this early in the season. He'll make an impact on the defensive line in 2010.
