The Tarleton State Texans are set to kick off their 2024 college football season against the McNeese Cowboys, marking the first college football game in the U.S. for the year. Tarleton, which had an impressive 8-3 record last season, aims to extend its winning streak to five games and become the first time they appear on linear television, airing on ESPN2. McNeese, which struggled last season with a 1-10 record, will look to improve upon its dismal rushing defense that ranked second worst in FCS. The game will be part of Week 0, showcasing only seven college football games nationwide. In NFL news, former Ohio State standout Garrett Wilson continues to impress at Jets training camp, showcasing his talents during a joint practice against the Giants, raising expectations for a breakout season with potential for over 1,500 receiving yards. Overall, both the Texans and Wilson are poised for promising seasons as they capitalize on their respective opportunities.
