Texas State might be stifling yawns because of the late West Coast kickoff, but the Bobcats would not trade places with their hosts. A mumps outbreak in the Aztecs campus has decimated the roster, with a reported 14 players affected so far. Add in injuries, and 17 are listed as doubtful or out on the injury report. Texas State has bounced back from a thrashing from Texas with three SU wins, the latest a walkover against Incarnate Word. S.D. State's season to date has been the reverse -- a Week 1 victory followed by three setbacks, each by double digits. This line has climbed a few points stemming from reports and could rise further.
