Spoke with Cal Poly head coach Tim Walsh for about 10 minutes today about his team's win against Montana last week as well as the upcoming match-up with Texas State this Saturday. Here are some excerpts from what he had to say.
On what it meant to beat Montana: "It means that we started 2-0. Montana has this big aura surrounding it, but I've beat them before when I was at Portland State. When we beat them that year, we started the season 6-0 and were as high as No. 2, but then we finished the season 2-3 and lost in the first round of the playoffs."
On what his team learned from last year's tough season (4-7 record): "If you've been through an experience, they are learning experiences. There's no guarantee but you can be assured our guys know how to play for 60 straight minutes."
On what Texas State does that might present problems for his team: "Montana just threw the ball for a lot of yards against us with the athletes Texas State has, it might be an issue. O-line size is an issue. Their speed is going to be unmatched. They have some great schemes that could make us vulnerable in a lot of spots."
On what fans should expect to see Saturday night: "All the time at this level, when you take teams from the SLC and Great West and Big Sky, you're talking about great, great football. Just because it doesn't say FBS doesn't mean it's not great football and we're going to prove that Saturday night."
Note: The Bobcat Live Chat is postponed until tomorrow (Thursday) night at 7:30 p.m. I apologize for the late notice. Be ready to talk about everything Texas State vs Cal Poly.
