They misspelled "Ragin' Cajuns" in the title.
Wow, someone did absolutely no research in that article at all. Didn't even mention the QB transfer at state. Just assumed that Butterfield would be the starter.
This shows how much research they did (not do) on TXST...
6. Texas State: After going 4-8 in the WAC last season, the Bobcats make the jump to the Sun Belt and should have enough to win a few games.
Three of the top four receivers return led by Chase Harper (28 catches) and Isaiah Battle (26 catches).
Tyler Arndt takes over at quarterback after playing in a handful of games last season.
Harper already graduated, and if fact just signed a FA contract with Arizona Cardinals over the weekend. Arndt is not the QB yet, he is fighting for the position with red shirt freshman Jordan Moore. Some people who cover TXST very close say Moore is the expected started as we go into fall camp...
Very few of the national pubs seem to have a grasp at all on the players returning at stAte or the QB situation. Myerberg is the only one who really did his homework.
Not impressed.

Myerberg was so far ahead of most that he even knew that Hogan was leading at QB coming out of spring AND that Kennedy is a big part of the picture. He knew about Gordon and that we return more defensive starters than others realize.

Yea I agree if I see one more national media person make a huge deal about Jakes being gone I am going to throw up....Obviously no one watched him on tape or followed him last season, they just saw the stats on his efficiency which was good but with a competent QB would have been a lot better....He barely completed 5 passes all season more than 15 yards with 8 men in the box daring him to throw...

That's the reason I ultimately respected Myerburg. Any ASU fan who knows anything about football and watched our spring scrimmage came out of that knowing that Hogan had a legit shot at winning the starting job in the fall if Kennedy wasn't up to snuff.
Not to mention that Gordon outplayed every other RB at that scrimmage, including Oku.
It says a lot about Butterfield's struggles that a kid recruited to be a WR was neck and neck with him in the spring QB race

Butterfield is a great kid and has a lot of skill but overcoming two season ending knee surgeries in three years is a lot. He doesn't look as spry to me anymore.
Hogan should have never been moved back to WR by Malzahn.

The QB situation at WKU is simply one of unknowns. I agree about Jakes. When I watched WKU last year, the strength of the team was defense, particularly the DL. That is the big question for WKU imo. Hog fans considered Petrino to have neglected the defense at Arkansas and I saw some of that coming from Malzahn at least as far as recruiting was concerned.

I agree about DL being the huge question mark...I think our secondary and LB's can hold it down for a few weeks but the DL has to show up for us to have a successful season....One good thing is we are not in the SEC and defense is our strong point with everyone returning minus DL...But we did get production out of two guys who played a lot last season on the DL...

Arkansas fans blamed the DC for most of their defensive issues, but ignored the fact that Petrino spent little time recruiting defensive players. Malzahn's one recruiting class here was mysteriously devoid of defensive players as well, enough that Harsin had to place an emphasis on recruiting defense this year, which lowered our rating.
I'm tired of this prediction stuff. I'm ready to get this thing started!!!

Me too. I am doing my best to avoid sounding like UNT fans back in the last century when they were sort of good for a stretch.

Nothing like outside predictions to make people mad or in total agreement.

Looks about right. Not saying that its a sure thing, but they are good bets.
Looks about right to me, I could see the Cajuns finishing as low as fourth and winning the Belt outright as well. We will finish somewhere between 7-5 and 12-0. lol
Lots of in depth research there. TXST TE Chase Harper
graduated and is an UDFA with Arizona.
This our third thread now started on CBS predictions, haha...
This is now our third thread started on CBS predictions....haha...
All of these preseason predictions sound the same for WKU...."They are losing their Senior QB" so lets predict them 4th.... Should read "WKU is losing a qb who could not complete a pass over 15 yards with a stacked box for the run, expect WKU to take a step up in terms of QB production."
Bump...
