The Texas State Bobcats have two games under their belt to knock the rust off, and they had moments against Washington State in their opener. The Rhode Island Rams were horrible offensively in their first contest against Quinnipiac. Rhode Island is an extremely young team, with just one junior and senior on its roster. Might take the Rams time to get in the swing of things. Give me Texas State and the points.
