Arizona State was a darling last season. They had the popular RB Cam Skateboo and he ran them all the way to the expanded playoffs.
Kenny Dillingham is off to a great start in Tempe, even if they missed an opportunity to get an SEC win last week.
Texas State has its own coach on the rise in GJ Kinne. They have won 8 games in each of the past two seasons and are off to a 2-0 start.
Texas State is offense first, and if Kinne has a great game plan this could be one of the more exciting games of the weekend.
Texas State Bobcats
The Sun Belt has seen growth over the last few years, in part because programs like Texas State are no pushovers. They might not have long histories but the coaching is good and they are able to scheme up, especially on offense.
The early surprise of the team has been Lincoln Pare at running back. He was supposed to be a backup, instead he has been dominant. When you can run the ball in a Kinne offense things get really scary for defenses very quickly.
The defense has good early numbers but this will be a real challense. ASU is far from the most physical team around but it is a step up from their first couple of opponents. Plus they have experience where it matters most.

Texas State Bobcats Stats
Texas State Bobcats has a perfect 2-0 record. They have started the season with two high-scoring victories, defeating Eastern Michigan 52-27 and UTSA 43-36 (no FCS opponents). The Bobcats’ offense has been explosive, averaging 47.5 points and 530 total yards per game.
This offensive output is fueled by a strong rushing attack, which averages 280 yards per game.
On the defensive side, the Bobcats have allowed an average of 31.5 points and 427.5 total yards per game.
Leading the charge on offense is quarterback Brad Jackson, who has completed 65.2% of his passes for 500 yards and five touchdowns through two games. The running game is a committee approach with multiple players contributing.
Lincoln Pare leads the team with 238 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while Jaylen Jenkins has 126 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
Wide receiver Beau Sparks has been the primary target in the passing game, with a team-high 12 receptions for 237 yards and five touchdowns.
Arizona State Sun Devils
The Big 12 is looking pretty wide open at this point. Arizona State took an early loss to Mississippi State but that is not going to hurt them. This is their last nonconference game and they could deinfitelu use the boost.
Sam Leavitt needs to be better if the Sun Devils are going to have anything close to the season they did a year ago. Last season, he threw only six interceptions the whole season. This year, he has three through a couple of games.
Thus far the Sun Devil defense has been torched through the air. That is concerning against a Kinne attack, especially one that has shown balance early.
They can win shootouts but they shouldn’t have to this week.
Arizona State Sun Devils Stats
Arizona State is 1-1 after a dominant 38-19 win over Northern Arizona, followed by a close 24-20 loss to Mississippi State. The Sun Devils’ offense has been a ground-heavy unit, with a total of 452 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.
This has been a key component of their offense, which averages 29 points and 333 total yards per game.
On the other side of the ball, the defense has allowed an average of 21.5 points per game.
Leading the Sun Devils on offense is quarterback Sam Leavitt, who has thrown for 339 yards and three touchdowns.
However, his performance has been hampered by three interceptions. On the ground, the running back duo of Raleek Brown and Kanye Udoh has been highly productive.
Brown leads the team with 148 rushing yards and one touchdown, while Udoh has 124 yards and a touchdown of his own.
In the receiving game, Jordyn Tyson has emerged as the top target, accumulating 209 yards and three touchdowns through the first two games.
On most days he is the best player on the field.

4* Free 2025 Week 3 NCAA Betting Prediction: Texas State +17.5
Last year these teams met at Texas State and the Bobcats were actually favored. They lost, but that was the outlook for ASU last season.
Meanwhile, Fresno State is rebuilding under Matt Entz with QB EJ Warner leading a new-look unit, but Kansas’ defense is vulnerable enough to give them scoring chances.
I like Arizona State to be good this season, but not as good as last and as they proved last year the talent differential might not be as great as you think.
Look for the Texas State offense to put game pressure on the Sun Devils and to keep coming, keeping a backdoor cover very much alive.
Look to bet the over too, I think we will see a very offensive game.
