Impact Burgess was deemed questionable on the initial report, but it appears he's trending in the right direction ahead of Saturday evening's kickoff. The starting running back has been on a heater over the last trio of games, racking up 51 carries for 503 yards and a touchdown, and he'll look to keep that going against the Aztecs.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Cole Snodgrass - Out vs. San Diego State Snodgrass (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against San Diego State, per the Pac-12 availability report.

Impact Snodgrass is dealing with an undisclosed issue that will force him to miss his second consecutive game. The tight end has an upcoming bye week to give him more time to recover before the team's next game against Colrodao State on Oct. 15.

Zechariah Sample - Questionable against San Diego State Sample (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game at San Diego State, per the Pac-12 availability report.

Impact Sample is coming off a career game against Incarnate Word last week, hauling in four receptions for 92 yards and one touchdown. He was dealing with an undisclosed issue prior to that contest before ultimately suiting up, so it's possible a similar situation could play out this week. Texas State's receiving corps is banged up, as he is one of five wideouts listed as questionable.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Blake Smith - Still unable to play Smith (foot) is out for Saturday's game at San Diego State.

Impact In what marks Texas State's debut for the newly formed Pac-12, Smith's foot will render him unavailable once more. Without him, Ty Stamey has been TSU's next-best option at tight end, logging a target each game this year.

Torrance Burgess Jr. - Questionable for Week 5 Burgess (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against San Diego State, per the Pac-12 availability report.

Impact Texas State is in jeopardy of missing its lead back Saturday, as Burgess' status is uncertain on the team's initial injury report. The running back has carried a heavy workload this season, rushing for 537 yards and one touchdown on 63 carries. He will aim to work his way back to full health to clear the injury report, but if he is unavailable, Davian Jackson should see increased touches.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Beau Sparks - Listed questioanble for Week 5 Sparks holds a questionable tag on the availability report for Saturday's game versus San Diego State, per the Pac- 12 availability report.

Impact Sparks put up a solid effort last week against FCS Incarnate Word, tallying a piar of catches for 66 yards and a touchdown, but it appears an injury is still at play this week. It will be worth checking on the senior wideout's status ahead of Saturday's clash with the Aztecs.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Dawn Jr. - Gets another TD Dawn had only four catches for 46 yards but did add a touchdown to his resume in the 63-10 blowout of FCS Incarnate Word on Saturday.

Impact Dawn has doubled his touchdown output (4) of last season where he had two. The senior will look to get closer to his career best of six touchdowns in a season when Texas State takes on San Diego St. on Oct. 3. Dawn has a good chance of grabbing a touchdown or two against an Aztecs pass defense that is near the bottom in the country.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Davian Jackson - Hits paydirt with a catch Jackson was relatively quiet on the ground with 57 yards on 16 carries but did have a six-yard catch for a touchdown in the 63-10 blowout of FCS Incarnate Word on Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Torrance Burgess Jr. - Continues career year Burgess led Texas State with 140 rushing yards on nine attempts and one touchdown in the 63-10 blowout of FCS Incarnate Word on Saturday.

Impact After a quiet opener with 34 rushing yards against Texas, Burgess has averaged 168 rushing yards in three games. The redshirt junior has a very good chance of continuing this run against San Diego State on Oct. 3. The Aztecs defense is in the bottom quarter in the nation against the run.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Brad Jackson - Throws 5 TDs Jackson did not have to throw a lot of passing yards, 244, but did toss 5 touchdowns in the 63-10 blowout of FCS Incarnate Word on Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Beau Sparks - Dressed for warmups Saturday Sparks (undisclosed) is dressed for Texas State's warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Incarnate Word, per Caleb Yum of the Austin Statesman.

Impact Sparks is on track to suit up Saturday after being seen in warmups Saturday. The wideout was expected to be a game-time decision in a previous report, so it appears a final call on his status will be made before kickoff. He was able to haul in just one reception for six yards in last week's matchup against North Texas.

Kylen Evans - Game-time decision vs. UIC Evans (shoulder) is a game-time call for Texas State's tilt with Incarnate Word on Saturday, per Caleb Yum of the Austin Statesman.

Impact Evans sustained a shoulder injury against North Texas in Week 3 amidst a four-catch, 70-yard outing. The wideout's ailment doesn't appear to be all that serious, as he has a chance to return in Week 4 against FCS Incarnate Word. Evans has been productive this season with 10 catches for 172 yards.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Zechariah Sample - GTD for Week 4 Sample (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Incarnate Word, Caleb Yum of the Austin American-Statesman reports.

Impact Sample is one of three wide receivers deemed a game-time decision for Texas State's last game of September. Sample's development is arguably most unfortunate, considering he just returned from injury to log two receptions for seven yards in Week 3. If the wideout sits out again, he would finish September with three DNPs in four games.
