On the final play of Thursday’s practice, transfer quarterback Brady McBride launched a pass toward the left side of the north endzone at Bobcat Stadium.
The ball was placed in a spot only 6-foot-5 Blake Aragon could reach, and the tight end reeled it in to end the day on a high note for the Texas State offense. Head coach Jake Spavital noted it was one of the toughest plays on the day to execute.
“That was a checked play. So like, (McBride’s) starting to have a great understanding and a feel for what the defense is doing to him and what the weaknesses are,” Spavital said. “And I get more fired up for those plays where he gets into the right call, even though they’re gonna heat you up and maybe the certain play call I had wasn’t the greatest for that situation. And he recognized it and alerted and made a really good play. And that’s when you’re starting to realize that we’re starting to play football.”
