Kats look to improve off opener
Offense, defense hope to be more explosive against Boll Weevils

After several weeks of clear skies in the area, the Bearkats have had to work around rain and thunderstorms while preparing for Saturday’s game with Arkansas-Monticello.
The same thing happened last week, with the Bearkats missing some valuable practice time thanks to Mother Nature and it showed in a sluggish 17-13 victory over Angelo State. Fortunately, this time around the team has gotten in the bulk of its workouts, even though some things have been cut out.
“We have been lucky this week with the weather,” Sam Houston State head coach Todd Whitten said Thursday. “What we have had to do, though, was cut out some of the individual drills. When we have gotten to practice, we have gone straight to team, worked on our game plans and gotten some unit drills in. It has really worked out for us. We have had a good week of practice.”
The Bearkats have been concentrating on getting better as a team after avoiding an upset at the hands of the Division II Rams last Thursday. The offense was able to move the ball, racking up 400 yards of total offense. The problem was, SHSU couldn’t finish off drives late in the game.
