Said that they did good things in all three phases of the game, but made mistakes in all three phases. Proud of the effort and the tenacity of the team, but "they have to pull the pin at the right time too."
Says Mississippi State is a "pain in the tail" on defense. Lots of blitzes, lots of different kinds of twits. Will bring the secondary on blitzes. Says the linebackers will play in the NFL.
Not having Will Rodgers "has changed them", and they're not throwing as much. Woody Marks, the running back, "will play in the NFL."
Le'Veon Moss is NOT as badly hurt as thought. He is walking around.
Max may well play Saturday.
Jaylen Henderson would be the next QB up, with Marcel Reed backing him up.
Says they're not going to change special teams plans for the sake of changes, and that they're not going to change blocking schemes in spite of the injuries to Conner and Max.
Said the Max did a good job hitting the hot route a few times, throwing to Noah Thomas. But he needed to step into some throws. "You see coverage and feel rush."
Interesting that he just mentioned Max as "doing" a good job, not "having done" a good job. So he's doing a good job of bluffing if Max is out.
Says that Mississippi State is trying to run more, and they have diversified their running game in terms of scheme and run plays.
Says he loves the leadership in the Ole Miss game, that he liked the way the kept rallying and the dynamic of how they compete.
Says Petrino knew Jaylen Henderson from his time out west, and they knew his quarterback trainer. That gave them more insight into his abilities.
Shemar Turner is available for the game. No additional penalties.
Tony Grimes isn't going to play this year and Deuce Fatheree is still getting his leg strength back.
Said Chase Bisontis played really well, but PFF missed on an error he made. So he knows we're looking at that stuff. Says he'll be one heck of a player.
Says the big guy in the middle got the block on Bond's field goal and he just hit an inch too high.
