Injury update: Mason Taylor and Ovie are probable. Omar Speights is downgrade him to doubtful.
Felt like there's a lot of talent with the freshman tight ends who played against Mississippi State, but they have a lot of growing to do. Says they were in the same boat with Mason last year and he expects to see the same type of growth with these young guys.
Says the primary concern on defense this week is stopping Jefferson's running ability.
Thinks the defense is going to get better and better with each game. A lot of new faces and he feels the roles are starting to become much more consistent on that side of the ball.
Slowing down Arkansas' pass rushers will be a key for the offense. They lead the SEC in sacks, and with a new DC says they're not 100% sure what they're going to get, so they're preparing for a lot of different looks.
Says having a dual threat QB, emerging Oline and weapons on the outside allows him to feel comfortable going for it on fourth down. Has a confidence that his team can run or pass on fourth downs with success depending on the look the defense gives them.
Jimmy Lindsey is still in treatment and all reports are positive. No timeline for when he'll return to the team.
