Texas Southern football game rescheduled with Texas State

San Marcos — Texas State University director of athletics Dr. Larry Teis has announced that the Bobcats have moved their football game against Texas Southern to Oct. 4 on Jim Wacker Field at Bobcat Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 6:00 p.m. The game was originally scheduled for September 13.

“Texas Southern had a problem with their schedule and we were able to accommodate them by moving the game,” Teis said. “As a result, we now have a two-year agreement and they also will play here in 2009.”

This season’s game marks the eighth game played between the two schools. Texas State owns a 7-0 record in the series that dates back to 1988. The last time the two schools met was on Nov. 9, 2006, when the Bobcats won a 41-21 decision in San Marcos.

Coach Taylor grading all players after FAMU's spring game

Though the fact that there were members of the Marching 100 there was a change. Coach Joe Taylor wanted it, and so for the first time in 20 years the band showed up at Bragg Stadium on Saturday for the Orange and Green game.
"We wanted a game-like atmosphere," Taylor said. "We wanted to see how the guys react with the officials, with the crowd, with the band. Whenever we line up on the field (the Marching 100) has got to be here because they're the 12th man. I know it's going to benefit us."

The Green team chewed up a lot of yards while having its way against the Orange, to the tune of a 54-0 final score.

It was a time for collective gasps and crossed fingers Saturday at Oliver C. Dawson Stadium.

Rising sophomore quarterback Malcolm Long was writhing in pain on the ground after his legs buckled under him while running upfield during the team's scrimmage. Given all the anticipation the former South Carolina "Mr. Football" has built up since his arrival on campus, the sight of Long favoring his leg with any injury would top the list of nightmare scenarios for anyone affiliated with S.C. State football.

To the partial relief of Bulldog head football coach Oliver "Buddy" Pough, it was a pulled hamstring and nothing more serious.

ASU Hornets take another step forward in Black and Gold game

If there has been a theme to Alabama State's spring practice, it has been progress. With the task of implementing a new offense prior to next season, head coach Reggie Barlow has stressed the importance of making progress each day. The offensive players, time and again, have mentioned how much they're focused on improving each day.

It was that mindset the Hornets took into Saturday's Black and Gold spring game. Winning or losing seemed to make little difference to either side. It was all about judging how far they've come in 15 practices.

The offense's 29-24 win wasn't pretty, but no one seemed to care.
