It’s going to be ugly.
Texas State lost to Incarnate Word today.
I believe Texas State was without a lot of starters due to COVID. Not sure how/if it will impact our game this week.
EDIT: I may have lied. For some reason I thought I had heard this, but in searching I can't find anything about it. I came across a few articles about their "embarrassing" loss to Incarnate Word, but none of them mention players missing because of COVID protocols.

Game Week: @UMass
The Twitter comments from their fans sound like EMU fans circa 2012. They're pissed and some want the coach fired.

This is all I could find with a simple search, Texas State, Football, Covid (last 7 days).
https://www.sanmarcosrecord.com/sports/t...word-42-38
Take this for what it is worth:
" [b]The maroon and gold did lose 25 players just days before the game due to what Spavital called “a mixture of COVID protocols and some injuries.” [/b]The inactive list included two team captains in senior defensive lineman Caeveon Patton and quarterback Tyler Vitt, as well as several other impact players such as senior outside linebacker London Harris, graduate defensive back Eric Sutton and junior tight end Tyler Huff. Starting sophomore nickelback DeJordan Mask was also ejected for targeting in the first quarter."
To pivot. weren't we mostly healthy? Other than Rush who didn't play who we would have expected?

I know.
I stand by my statement.
can you back up your statement?
In comparison to EMU, the level of athlete on Texas State is different (i.e., superior), and their coaching is better. The only question is their COVID situation.
WALYP YOU REALLY GOT THAT ONE WRONG BIG GUY

You missed the last sentence. Their roster was in tatters.
Nonetheless I love my alma mater, and am happy Creighton was aggressive for 60 minutes.
