Spring football is ongoing across the state of Texas now that spring break is over. The 13 FBS programs in the Lone Star State are allowed to participate in 15 on-field practice sessions, including 12 involving contact. Spring games are littered throughout April with most taking place on April 15 or April 22. Houston goes first when the Cougars play their spring game on April 7.
The 2023 season is one of change. Sam Houston is moving up to Conference USA from the FCS ranks. Houston is now in the Big 12. UTSA, North Texas, and Rice are preparing for their first season in the American Athletic Conference.
But what is the best and worst case that can happen for each team in 2023? Here’s where we stand on the Texas State Bobcats.

Best case: Texas State remains in search of its first bowl invite as an FBS program. The Bobcats made the jump up back in 2012. The program has only finished .500 or better twice in its 11-season history in the FBS ranks. A seven-win 2014 campaign remains the best in school history, and the Bobcats haven’t won more than four games in a single year since that season. Former head coach Jake Spavital went 13-35 in his four seasons.
