Texas State has a QB who will be playing on Sundays. Their little TB could also be a third down-type of back or a kick returner and one of their wideouts could go to the next level.

Awesome, awesome talent for a I-AA team. I'd pick their QB ahead of just about any other college QB in a pickup game. He's almost on that Matt Leinart/Vince Young level.

heck yeah that texas state qb is a stud....he is huge...6'5 and he put on some show against the aggies....that was awesome...i believe his name is barrick nealy...and that little 5'7 runningback did really well against a&m too...

Did you see that game, RoTex? That QB single-handedly pulled them back into the game.

Better than any I-AA QB I've ever seen. The second-best was probably a kid from Eastern Illinois a few years ago, and Nealy's head and shoulders above that guy.

I saw Eastern Illinois play Deleware in the NCAA Div II title game in Longview in ... 1978 I think. Was cold as heck ... about 100 people there.

They have a pretty decent little program up there. Seems like they're hovering around the top 15 every year.

The Ohio Valley Conference usually has some pretty tough teams, though they're in a bit of a funk this year.
