Alright, let’s talk about how I tracked down the Texas State football depth chart recently. It wasn’t super straightforward, but I got there.
First thing, I just wanted to see who was starting, you know? Big game coming up, or maybe I was just curious about a specific position battle. So, I hopped on my computer.
My first move, like always, was just hitting up a search engine. Typed in something simple like “Texas State football depth chart”. You get a bunch of results, obviously. Some are old news, some are fan sites.
I usually try the official athletics website first. Went over there, looked around the football section. Sometimes they have a clear link, maybe under “Roster” or “News” or sometimes they bury it in game notes. Clicked around for a bit. Checked the main football page, then the roster page. Didn’t see an obvious “Depth Chart” link right away this time.
Okay, plan B. Started checking out the big sports news sites. You know the ones. Sometimes they consolidate this stuff. Scanned a few articles, looked for game previews. Sometimes writers will mention the two-deep or key starters based on practice reports.
Found some chatter, some predictions, but not the actual chart the team puts out. That’s usually the most reliable, even if coaches sometimes play coy.
Digging Deeper
So, back to the official site I went. Thought maybe I missed something. This time I looked specifically for recent press releases or those PDF game notes they often put out before each matchup. That’s often where they stick it.
Bingo. Found the game notes for the upcoming week. Had to open up the PDF document. Scrolled through the stats, the rosters, the team comparisons, and usually somewhere in the middle or towards the end…
- There it was.
- Offense, Defense, Special Teams.
- Listed out, starter and backup.
It wasn’t on its own dedicated webpage, which would be nice, but tucked away inside that document. Took a few steps, a bit of clicking and scrolling through a PDF, but I found the latest official version they released.
So, process was basically:
1. Simple web search.
2. Checked official athletics site (football section, roster).
3. Skimmed major sports news sites.
4. Went back to official site, looked for game notes (PDFs usually).
5. Found it inside the game notes document.
A bit of a hunt, but that’s often how it goes finding these things unless it’s right before kickoff and everyone’s posting it. Got the info I needed in the end.
