Texas State's 31-24 loss to SMU in the 2020 season opener Saturday impressed Bobcats head coach Jake Spavital and left the team with a lot of optimism heading into this week.
But Texas State knows it needs to it'll need to fix a lot of mistakes to channel its optimism into more wins.
“After going back and watching the tape, I'm really proud of the effort of these kids. But we left a lot of football out there,” Spavital said. “You know, again, there's a lot of emotion to this game and you throw these kids out there in that environment and they do some uncharacteristic things that they typically don't do. And that's normal but we've got to minimize that as much as possible. I think that they've done a really good job of handling this all the way up to that point. And I think these kids are ready to get out there and start playing.”
