Offensive lineman of the week: Trey Zuhn
Player of the game: Conner Weigman
Defensive linemen of the week: Albert Regis and Rodas Johnson
Defensive lineman of the game: Nic Scourton
Says they started sharp on offense. Said they had a little rut in the late third quarter and they want to look at that and the number of penalties.
Really happy with the distribution of the ball, with 10 guys getting catches.
Says it's good that Jabre Barber is getting more involved and his role will continue to expand.
Says the D-line controlled the game, limiting the running game and then getting after Cook.
The defense made a "big step" compared to the Florida, when they eased up. They didn't do that Saturday.
"We held a very potent offense to 13 for 31 and 186 yards."
Says Tyler White and Randy Bond are weapons for them, but the rest of special teams is still a work in progress.
"You always want to win at 11 a.m. because you have to deal with that all day, and you want to win going into the bye week."
Says the O-line has become the lifeblood of the program.
Says Marcel Reed took the demotion like a competitor, but he also wants to win and he's an Aggie, so he understood it.
Says the team is starting to understand what a mentality is. How much effort it takes, the strain every day. That is something he finds exciting.
"As long as we stay in that mindset and continue to grow every day...you show up on Saturday and you're a little better than you were last Saturday, and that's what they're seeing now."
This week will be like fall camp and just focus on themselves, and will start seriously working on Mississippi State on Sunday.
Jay Bateman calls the game. All the game. "That's his show, he's the one running the thing."
Said they got the best version of Conner during the week and felt that was the most likely way to win. Weigman had to convince him that he was ready and they talked Wednesday and knew Weigman was in the right mindset and ready to go.
Says Bussey is becoming a better, more technically sound football player each time out instead of just being a great athlete. He's getting more comfortable with everything.
TJ Shanahan could be back later this week or next week. Says they're in a really good spot injury-wise.
I asked him about the secondary, and he said that some learning growth was inevitable. But now that they're getting on the same page, they can be really good.
