  • They have nobody on the injury list that would be anything worse than probable. Very good sign moving forward.
  • Said the crowd on Saturday was great, exactly what they expect from a Death Valley crowd and thinks they helped the team win.
  • Thought after giving up the fake FG, the defense dug in and held them to a FG which was a four point swing. They also ended up using two timeouts after the fake.
  • Highlights all of Ole Miss' offensive weapons, but points out that Ole Miss is also second in the SEC in sacks.
  • Jayden Daniels became 6th player in FBS history with 10,000 passing yards and 2,000 rushing yards in a career. Also won SEC offensive player of the week.
  • Says they knew they needed to find other matchups when Nabers is double teamed, and the emergence of Brian Thomas has helped this offense tremendously.
  • Feels the defense is trying to make too many plays at times. They need to just focus on doing the ordinary things exceptionally well and he feels once they settle down they can be a very good defense.
  • Says Da'Shawn Womack is young and learning and thinks he'll be a really good player, but he still has a lot of work to do before he's ready for a starting position, but thinks there's spots where he can be an impact player.
  • Thought Mason Taylor was outstanding and he was only at 60%. Feels once he gets 100% healthy, he'll become much more of a factor in this offense.
  • Said Andre Sam is getting better quickly, doesn't think he would've made that interception if it was in week one.
  • Said Harold Perkins did a good job on his 'roughing the passer' penalty. Said he hit KJ in the chest and didn't make contact with his helmet. Sent the play to the rules supervisor and is awaiting a response.
  • On the final drive, he felt Arkansas wanted them to pass the ball because they knew they wanted to run the clock out. Said they were brining guys down to defend the run, but his team just wanted it more which allowed them to run the ball well on that final drive.
  • Emphasizes this team could be really good if they avoid the self inflicted wounds.
  • Greg Brooks is making progress. Says it's a long and lengthy process, but as of the last report, they said he needs to continue to rest and recover. Having people visit him often is taking a lot out of him, but he's making the progress his doctors want to see.
  • Thinks Jordan Jefferson is twitchy and extremely strong. Will experiment with him at the nose on their three man fronts.
