PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas -- The Prairie View A&M University football team ended Saturday's practice with a controlled scrimmage at Panther Stadium.Coverage of Panthers Training Camp on pvpanthers.com is sponsored by Texas Farm Bureau Insurance.

First-year PVAMU head coach Eric Dooley has set a high bar for his program and his players. While there were big plays made on both sides of the football, Dooley is looking for more from his team.
"I didn't like what I saw because I know what I expect," Dooley said. "We have a long way to go and a short time to get there, but the thing I'm pleased about is that we will get there. We have to correct some things, and come out next week and get better."
Dooley and his staff got to see a lot of players in action in game situations, adding to the evaluation process as the Panthers' season opener at Rice is only three weeks away on Aug. 25 at 6 p.m.
"We wanted to look at as many guys as we could," said Dooley. "Each day we practice, it gets closer to the first game. I wanted to make sure this week and in this scrimmage we zeroed in on some things that are needed. We'll start cutting down on some of the reps because we have some guys who need more reps going forward."
The Panthers will practice Sunday at 4 p.m. to conclude the weekend.
