DAY 10
As days begin to dwindle on training camp for the Texas State Bobcats, head coach Jake Spavital used Tuesday's practice as a "situational scrimmage" to maximize opportunities revolved around in-game scenarios such a two- and four-minute drills, special teams situations and more. 

"We got a lot of that quality work in today, then we put the ball down and allow those more players to get quality reps," Spavital said. "I like where this (training camp) is going. We are calculated with the reps, taking care of our guys and continuing to get quality practices in. There's still a lot of work to be done, though. We still have four more practices in training camp, then we'll get into our mock week and get into the routine that is the regular season."

The Bobcats will continue its training camp with its third straight practice in as many days on Wednesday morning. The next media availability will follow Thursday's practice.

DAY EIGHT
Eight calendar days after opening training camp in preparation for its 2021 season-opening game against Baylor on Saturday, Sept. 4, the Texas State football team conducted an intrasquad scrimmage in front of the Bobcat faithful. The full-padded scrimmage session was followed by an autograph session for those fans in attendance.  

"I thought (the scrimmage) was competitive at all fronts," said Texas State football head coach Jake Spavital following the two-hour scrimmage Saturday morning. "There was some sloppiness on both sides of the ball, but it was some things we can correct. We ran well over 100 snaps today and every single kid in our program got plenty of reps.

"It's been a really productive week. I thought everyone handled their business well and got a lot of work done."

The team will have Sunday, Aug. 15, off, before returning to practice on Monday, Aug. 16, to start its second consecutive six-day practice week, which will bring the 14-day training period to a conclusion on Saturday, Aug. 21.

DAY SIX
Thursday morning's practice marked the first time the Texas State football team endured a training camp session in full pads while preparing or the Bobcats' season-opening game against the Baylor Bears on Saturday, Sept. 4 at 6 p.m. 

"We got to do a lot of live situations," said Texas State football head coach Jake Spavital. "There were a lot of moments to throw some guys in the mix and see what they're capable of doing and see if they can tackle. We really went with base calls on offense and defense just to see if these guys can make some plays for us. I thought there was really good energy from the offense today."

The Bobcats continue their training camp Friday morning with a helmets and shorts practice before giving fans a sneak-peak of this year's team at its Fan Day on Saturday. Texas State will have an open intrasquad scrimmage beginning at 8:30 a.m. and an autograph session afterward.

DAY FOUR
Competitive was how Texas State football head coach Jake Spavital described his team's fourth practice of fall camp on August 10. The Bobcats are preparing for the 2021 season, which kicks off on Saturday, September 4, against Baylor at Bobcat Stadium.
 
"It's getting to that point out there where both sides of the ball are wanting to compete and wanting to earn their spots," Spavital said. "And that's what I told them after practice. It is going to get chippy at times, but I'd rather have it that way than go out there and have people who don't really care.  It's good to see how many guys are competing and wanting to win."
 
The Bobcats continue their stretch of six straight practices this week when the whistles are blown, again, Wednesday morning. This will proceed the team's  first full-padded practice on Thursday followed by a subsequent media availability after practice that same day.

DAY TWO
The Texas State football team's second practice in fall camp on August 7 was "a lot better" in the eyes of head coach Jake Spavital.  The Bobcats are preparing for the 2021 season, which kicks off on Saturday, September 4, against Baylor at Bobcat Stadium.
 
"There was a lot more energy, and it was more competitive," Spavital said. "It was a faster practice, and the reps looked very competitive compared to yesterday. A lot of that had to do with there being more familiarity, knowing how practice flows, and guys were not analyzing the new guys at their positions. Competition brings out the best in everybody, and I thought today they just settled in, worried about the things they can control, and played very fast."
 
The Bobcats have a recovery day on Sunday before returning to the practice field Monday morning and beginning six straight practices in pads. The subsequent media availability will be after Tuesday's practice.

SATURDAY'S MEDIA AVAILABILITY
