Bears in position to win Valley championship
And Joey Hawkins' mission from game one was to win the Valley regular season championship.
And do that in the Bears final season in the conference.
In our Bear Nation update, Hawkins has Missouri State in position to do just that.
Over the weekend, the Bears took two of three from Indiana State.
That leaves Missouri State with a one game lead on Murray State.
And the Bears end the regular season with the racers in Kentucky starting Thursday.
If MoState can win two of the three, the Bears will win the regular season title.
'Honestly, it's postseason time. The regular season is on the line, sure. But it's going to feel like postseason baseball. And you have to have a short memory. We've talked as a group about three weeks ago that we were going to shift our intensity and focus into postseason mode. And I think we've been playing like that. We've obviously been winning a lot of series. And we put ourselves in position to be in first place going into the last weekend. I don't think there's any kind of crazy change you're going to see. It's just a matter of playing good baseball,' said Hawkins.

Caleb Williams Watch: How Bears QB performed on Day 10 of training camp
The Chicago Bears continued training camp on Sunday with their 10th practice of the summer, and there was plenty to break down from Family Fest -- including the performance of quarterback Caleb Williams. Williams is entering his second season following a rocky rookie year that included two head coaches, three offensive coordinators, being sacked a league-high 68 times, a 10-game losing streak and a 5-12 record. But the Bears prioritized Williams' development this offseason with the hiring of offensive guru Ben Johnson as head coach, overhauling the interior offensive line and adding even more weapons to the mix. All eyes will be on Williams this summer as he continues to learn Johnson's offense and looks to find a rhythm heading into Year 2. We're taking a look at the good, the bad and the noteworthy with Williams from the 10th practice of Bears training camp: The Good It wasn't the best day for the Bears offense, where Williams struggled under duress. But there were still some encouraging moments from Sunday's practice at Soldier Field. That included a brilliantly-designed play by head coach Ben Johnson, where he dialed up a misdirection play where Williams found a wide-open Cole Kmet for a 30-yard touchdown, per Zack Pearson. 'It was good execution by those guys, and I think Caleb had a little pressure in his face, and he was able to still get it over the top and out of there,' Johnson said. 'Well done.' Williams also shined during the two-minute drill, where he led the offense on a 51-yard game-winning touchdown drive with 51 seconds left. Here's how it went down, per Kevin Fishbain: "Williams opened it with a swing pass to Swift, who had no defender near him and went for 16 yards. A blitz forced a throwaway on first down, and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen dialed up a pressure again on second down. This time, Williams got it to Olamide Zaccheaus, running right to left in space, and he went for 26 yards. The operation failed the Bears on first-and-goal, having to call a timeout as the play clock ran down. Following a Nahshon Wright pass breakup, Williams then hit Loveland for a touchdown. The rookie ran a nice route to get Brisker off balance, and Williams got him the ball before Edwards could close on it." The Bad The defense dominated the offense on Sunday, and Williams nearly had a couple of turnovers on careless throws with pressure in his face. It started immediately during the first 11-on-11 period, where the following chain of events occurred as the first-team offense battled the second-team defense, per Pearson: "A few runs, two delay of game penalties, a sack, a few pressures and just two completions. At the end, Caleb Williams had a Hail Mary-type throw that should have been picked by Nick McCloud. Rome Odunze prevented the INT with a pass breakup." The offense also continued to struggle with pre-snap penalties, where Williams had three delay of games on the day. The Noteworthy The offense has certainly improved from the start of training camp, but there's one lingering issue that remains on Day 10 -- pre-snap penalties that contributed to a sloppy outing at Family Fest. During the first team period, Williams had two delay of game penalties that set the tone for a sloppy practice. Later in practice, Williams was called for a third delay of game, and it's a trend that's been consistent throughout training camp so far -- be it penalties or botched snaps. Following Sunday's practice, head coach Ben Johnson said the offense's pre-snap operation is "sloppier than we would've hoped for at this point." Johnson said it's something that needs to be addressed, and he noted "it showed up more today than it has in practice" as they simulated a real game. While tight end Cole Kmet noted there was "a little nervous energy out there," Johnson was clear that if they don't pick it up, "we don't win many games."

Ben Johnson says Bears offense needs to fix this issue
The Chicago Bears are in the midst of learning Ben Johnson's offense, and they have the quarterback, weapons and offensive line to get it done. But part of the process, however, is cohesiveness. If they don't play together as a unit, they will fail. Part of training camp's purpose is to work on those types of issues. Through a couple of weeks of training camp, pre-snap penalties have been an issue. That can happen when an offensive line has more new faces than returning ones. Having an inexperienced quarterback and tight end can lead to these issues, as well. That was evident during Sunday's Family Fest, where quarterback Caleb Williams committed three delay of game penalties during the two-hour practice. Following practice, Johnson addressed the delay of game penalties and is adamant that they need to work on correcting it. "Yeah, it's something that we're going to have to address, for sure," Johnson said. "It showed up more today than it has in practice. This was more like a real game, and if it continues like that, we're not going to win many games." It will be incredibly difficult for Williams to run the offense smoothly if he is unable to get in a rhythm. Nothing takes them out of that rhythm if they can't avoid taking penalties. We've seen it in the past with previous Bears' regimes. One thing that we've learned about Johnson so far is how accountable he holds himself and his team. If he believes there is an issue, he's blunt about getting it corrected. Johnson also doesn't just place the blame on anyone but himself. The team will respond well to him if he keeps that up. This pre-snap penalty issue is something to keep an eye on over the week during practice. With the preseason looming, there will be plenty of opportunities to get this corrected.

Recapping Day 10 of Chicago Bears training camp
The Chicago Bears were out at Soldier Field on Sunday for their annual Family Fest, where there were plenty of headlines and standouts from the 10th practice of training camp. The defense dominated the day in what head coach Ben Johnson described as closer to a preseason game. The offense was sloppy with pre-snap penalties that continue to linger, but they did end practice on a strong note during a two-minute drill where quarterback Caleb Williams connected with rookie tight end Colston Loveland for a 7-yard touchdown. There's still plenty to improve upon with the Week 1 opener just over a month away. Let's recap Day 10 of Bears training camp: What we learned Standouts Injury updates As far as attendance goes, right guard Jonah Jackson (leg) and long snapper Scott Daly (back) were back at practice on Sunday. The Bears were still without offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie (leg), offensive guard Bill Murray (right ankle) and center Ricky Stromberg (concussion). Following Sunday's practice, then team announced that running back Deion Hankins is in concussion protocol while wide receiver Miles Boykin (ankle) and tight end Jordan Murray (groin) were also held out of practice. Highlights First home run of the year at Soldier Field 💥 .@jprichardson17 to the house 🏠 .@kylemonangai comin' thru 😤 Press conferences What's next The Bears are back on the practice field on Monday at Halas Hall for a closed practice at 10:10 a.m. CT.
