Texas State focuses on ground game

[slycat]

heres an article from our school paper about spring drills. i found it to be a good read on what the new coach is doing to improve the offense and defense. im also glad he is focusing on disipline. this has been a problem the past few years and cost us over a 100 yards in penalties in many games.

Any idea what the breakdown was for offensive production last season? Passing vs Rushing?

seeing that it says the scrimmage was 60% running and 40% passing, i still expect soem big passing numbers. though i dont usually like a run focused offense, i am excited about how good our rbs are.
