  • Garrett Dellinger is questionable and Chris Hilton is out for Saturday's game.
  • Their emphasis has been having balance in their offensive sets, not giving away what they're doing. Thinks the run game will be a strength this week.
  • He feels sick for John Emery Jr., but says they feel pretty good about the running back position for now.
  • Says 4th and 3 is a go for them. Just because they failed to convert of fourth in the first drive last year didn't mean anything when he decided to go for it this year. Would go for it again if the situation comes up.
  • Caden Durham will be involved going forward. Thinks he's had a good week and they've been working to find plays he, and the other backs, feel comfortable with.
  • They have moved freshman Ju'Juan Johnson to running back following the injury and says he could get some play this weekend at the position.
  • Says they had some static with the helmet mics on defense, but things went pretty well. Said communication was smoother on offense, but they expected that going in. Says they need to be quicker getting out the huddle and getting lined up, and that was a huge emphasis this week.
  • Pleased with Aaron Anderson's progress. He's been more focused and consistent, which has allowed him to get on the field and show his explosiveness on the field. Says he was really relying on his athleticism last year.
  • Says Ka'Morreun Pimpton is still learning. He's done some really good things, but has room for improvement. Says he's in a similar spot as Anderson last year.
