Said the team handled McNeese in a "professional way" and got it out of hand early.
Says Moss "made the strides we wanted to" and thinks he'll continue to improve this season.
Likes what Rylan Kennedy is doing on the pass rush side.
Says UF has two very talented QBs with very different skill sets, so they'll have to prepare for both.
Calls Eugene Wilson one of the best receivers in the conference and that their receivers are the best A&M has played so far.
Says their defensive line is very talented, and that it's definitely an SEC defense.

Says there are a lot of things where you can say for sure that A&M improved week to week, McNeese or not.
Calls the run defense "terrible...it's not what you want." Says the first team handled the run last week, but 185 to McNeese is still a problem.
Started preparing the team for road games back in the spring.
When it comes to prepping for Lagway, they're looking at high school film as well as what he's done in the first two games.
Says Amari Daniels has always been a good ballcarrier, but has been challenged to improve other areas including pass blocking -- which he did well this past weekend. "It gives us confidence to put him out there every down, not just when you want to give him the ball."

Asked about Jimbo's idea of leaving Thursday, he said, "I don't have any thoughts on that. We'll leave on Friday."

Says TJ Shanahan was suspended immediately, pending internal review.
Says Jabre Barber is still a couple weeks away from being 100%, with the goal being the Arkansas game.
Very complimentary of Terry Bussey's decision making on punt returns, that he's making mature decisions.
Thinks that some of the problems with the run defense is still getting acclimated to the scheme, but won't point the finger at anyone. Says it's a full defense issue.
Says he's been happier with the pass rush than the stats would lead you to believe. Says they got pressure on Leonard and Sixkiller. "We're pressuring the quarterback. The sacks will come. The run fits and the run structure is what we have to work on."
