  • Says the team is starting to play complimentary football. Highlighted the offense doing "unprecedented stuff." Said defense is continuing to make progress.
  • Said they know they're in for 4 quarters of hard nosed, physical football and they're excited for the opportunity to host Army.
  • They like to try to find guys in the transfer portal that have multiple years of eligibility. They'll sign some one-and-done guys, but they prefer to find some guys that they can develop and play multiple years.
  • Felt Omar Speights played well in his first game back. Thinks he brings a lot of experience and toughness in the run game. Says Whit Weeks brings a lot of athleticism and can run, but "there's no substitute for experience" so they're going with Speights while Weeks learns the position.
  • Someone asked about Brock Bowers injury (I don't know why, but...) says it's extremely hard to replace a guy like that. Says he's had the chance to coach some great tight ends in his time that have specific skill sets, but Bowers has them all. Said it's impossible to replace him, they'll just have to find production elsewhere.
  • Talks about the privilege it is to play Army. Talked very highly about the student athletes there because those kids first dream isn't to play in the NFL, it's to go and serve for our country.
  • Called Army's offense "organized chaos."
