Notes that they had two drives start inside the 10 that went for touchdowns.
Said this was the game with the most effort and strain the team has shown since he returned.
The end of the game, especially on defense and special teams, was not acceptable.
Says Bowling Green "is very dear to me", as he was the DC there for five years. His family loved it there.
Has gone against coach Scott Loeffler three times.
Says they have a really talented group on offense, including QB Conner Bazelak.
Says the defense plays like a group, that they're very comfortable in their scheme.
Calls them "talented at every level" defensively.
Says Tyreek Chappell was off to a great start at nickel, that he was showing tremendous talent. He's not going to move Bryce Anderson back to nickel, but they'll look at some corners to see if they can play there.
Says he learned what it takes to be a DC at the D1 level while at Bowling Green, and probably has more connections at that school than anyone else.
Conner Weigman is day-to-day or week-to-week.
Says the secondary wasn't bad, but wasn't great. They're still learning how to play coverage in this system.
Says he asked the offensive line to be the identity of the football team. Says they had that in 2020, and that this group is starting to embrace that too.
As for Marcel Reed, says he goes through the up and downs like the other quarterbacks, and he has a skill set they can work with.
If Chappell wants to come back, he can simply redshirt. No medical needed.
Says this weekend is a "Must-win night game at Kyle Field."
Notes that the team overcame adversity, with the stupid penalties, the lightning delay, recovered from the Florida TD to start the second half. But they made plays all the way through the Pick-six.
Says he hopes to have Koli and Trey Jones will be ready to go, but they'd be listed as questionable at this point if they had to do an injury update.
Says Weigman will probably be a gametime decision. They are re-imaging his shoulder today to make sure nothing was missed.
