College Football: A conversation with freshman QB Tyler Arndt

Sat down with Texas State freshman quarterback Tyler Arndt yesterday after practice to talk about his progression since the first day of practice and other topics.

Here is what Arndt had to say...

On his progression through the first 12 days of practice: "It's a learning experience. Everybody goes through it when they're a freshman. The main thing is to come out here and have fun and learn from your mistakes."

On the biggest difference between high school and college football: "Going to a completely different offense has been tough. In high school we were a terminology offense and now to a number system at Texas State. Plus, you need to learn where you're protected and where you're not. I'll get it down as I get reps."

On his feeling once UTEP transfer QB Andy McCloud left the program: "Andy is a good guy, but it's open competition and some guys handle it better than others. His heart wasn't really into it, but it opens the door for us other three."

On splitting time with Tim Hawkins running the No. 1 offense: "It means a lot for the coaches to have that faith in me to put me in that situation. It's an experience. It's fun. You're in there with the big boys now and you have to step up and perform to your ability just like they are."
