NEW ORLEANS — Texas State seemed poised for its best Sun Belt season last year. The Bobcats had won seven games the year before, and their first bowl game as an FBS member was a minimum expectation.
But the Bobcats sputtered to a 3-9 season, which included a 2-6 Sun Belt mark and the eventual resignation of Coach Dennis Franchione.
Now, under new Coach Everett Withers, the Bobcats have gone from on the cusp to challenging for the top spot to starting over in just one season.
Will it work? No way to know just yet.
