Well, looks like the Kats have been addressing the secondary over the last week and a half. We'll see Saturday if the extra work paid off. It won't be hard to tell.

Taking steps to get better

Following bye week, SHSU secondary working overtime trying to improve

After an extended weekend to get their legs back under them and heal some nagging injuries, a refreshed Bearkats football squad has shifted its focus to Saturday’s game at Oklahoma State.

Since camp opened back in August, players and coaches at Sam Houston State had not had much time to catch their breath following two nonconference home games and a thrilling slugfest at North Dakota State.

But the Bearkats returned to Bowers Stadium on Tuesday afternoon, and following Wednesday’s practice, appear ready to go in their final tuneup before Southland Conference action begins in less than two weeks.

“I know we are healthy now and that’s a good thing,” SHSU head coach Todd Whitten said. “Last week we just tried to work on football in general. Tuesday and Wednesday we were just working on fundamentals, trying to get better. Thursday we introduced Oklahoma State and came back on Sunday to work on that some more.

will be interesting to see how OSU responds to the week their coach has had!

A lot of people feel it will light a fire under the team. I believe it has been a negative distraction.
