Bobcats return to spring camp, building chemistry

Texas State Football’s spring practices were already over this time a year ago.

The Bobcats got five sessions in before departing for spring break on March 12, 2020, and didn’t return until the summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When they did return to the practice field, a large majority of the team’s time was devoted to learning about the new COVID policies and making up for the practices lost in the spring.

There was hardly any team chemistry being built. Some players didn’t introduce themselves to their teammates until a week before their season opener against SMU on Sept. 5. Even then, there wasn’t a great setting to do so.
