HARRISONBURG, Va. – Quotes from Texas State football following the game against James Madison at Bridgeforth Stadium on Oct. 1, 2022.
 
Head Coach Jake Spavital
Opening statement…
"Overall, they handled the elements better than we did. We weren't as good on critical downs as they were. They made some explosive plays on us – on third downs and third-downs-and-longs, they were getting some conversions. When we did get turnovers, we couldn't capitalize on them. We threw a pick-six after one of those turnovers on a play that was wide open, it just gets deflected at the line of scrimmage. So, there were some things that didn't go our way.
 
"We knew that in these games there would be some adversity, based on elements and all of that. We told our kids to keep fighting. I think they kept fighting. It really comes down to the execution side of it. You can't have four turnovers, and they had three turnovers. You can't have the penalties we had in certain moments. We had some chop blocks and we had a personal foul, where I got to get to the bottom of that one. There were some of those that killed the drive offensively. We went into it trying to manage it as best as we possibly could.
 
"The message to the team afterwards was everybody has got to look themselves in the mirror because the consistency individually is not where it needs to be. We still got seven games left, and we need to respond. We need to have a good week of practice. We need to get back to work, make the corrections and adjustments and put it behind and move on to App State, and that's another quality opponent coming in. Overall, we can't make those mistakes."
