College Football: Fact book odds and ends

While flipping through the Texas State Fact Book, a few things jumped out at me...

• The Bobcats had some ball-hawking defensive backs back in the day. Lee Lundin set a school record in 1986 with nine interceptions while three other players — Mac Sauls (1965), Adrian Simpson (1983) and Don Caldwell (1969) — have eight. No player had five or more interceptions since Walter Musgrove in 2006.
• No Texas State player has returned an interception for a touchdown since linebacker Joe Bell in 2008.
• Former All-America wide receiver Da'Marcus Griggs finished six catches shy of tying for the career record in pass receptions. Johnny Parker set the mark from 1969-71 with 160. Griggs had 154.
• Not sure if anybody is ever going to touch Claude Mathis' record of 45 career rushing touchdowns. The same goes for Cameron Luke's touchdown reception mark of 17.
  
• Sterling Rogers forced seven fumbles in 2001 for Texas State. The last player to force five or more was Courtney Smith in 2008 with five.

Two Western Athletic Conference teams graced the "Also Receiving Votes" category as both Hawaii and Nevada found their way in. The Warriors got eight votes, while the Wolf Pack got one.

MLB: Goldschmidt Watch

All former Texas State slugger Paul Goldschmidt does is hit.

One night after going 1-for-3 with a single in his big league debut, Goldschmidt belted a two-run home run off two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum. Goldschmidt put the Arizona Diamondbacks up 2-1 with one swing of the bat, propelling them to a 6-1 win.

Major League Baseball: Goldschmidt gets his call

Former Texas State slugger Paul Goldschmidt finally got his call to the big stage Monday night. Goldschmidt joined the Arizona Diamondbacks for a crucial three-game series against the San Francisco Giants.

In Monday's game, Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a single.

Goldschmidt faced Matt Cain on Monday and gets an equally, if not tougher, test on Tuesday when Tim Lincecum throws against the Diamondbacks.
