The Javelinas overall football record now stands at 2-2 after a 10-35 loss against Texas A&M University Commerce (TAMUC). This puts their record for conference at 1-1, barring results from the team’s Oct. 9 game with Midwestern State University (MSU).
“The loss let us know we’re not where we need to be at as a team and luckily that’s something we can come together and fix,” Christian Anderson, a running back for the Javelinas, said. “As far as our record, we’d like to have those two losses back, and what we want to accomplish is to win the conference. Everything we want is still in front of us.”
TAMUC’s football record is 3-2 after this recent win.
“Commerce was a very respectable opponent. It was good for the team to learn from; it showed the team some fast football and we learned how to slow down a game,” Derrion Warner, a safety for the Javelinas, said.
The Javelinas went into their bye week after their game against TAMUC, giving them some extra time to prepare for their upcoming opponents.
“Coach Salinas calls bye weeks opportunity weeks so I was looking for an opportunity to take advantage of all week,” Warner said. “We had good practices and the energy is for sure there.”
The Javelinas came out of the bye week and right into game week.
“We’ve had some great preparations from the coaches these past two weeks. We are not far from where we need to be and little things make a big difference as long as we are focused,” Keon Clary, a cornerback for the Javelinas, said.
From here on out, the Javelinas have six games left for this football season.
“I just expect us to keep getting better each week and not to worry too much about things we can’t control,” Anderson said.
