- Injury report: Chris Hilton: doubtful. Omar Speights, Aaron Anderson and Charles Turner: Probable
- Liked what he saw from his team to comeback down 22-7 on the road in the SEC.
- Jayden Daniels won SEC player of the week for the third time in four weeks. Emery Jones won SEC O-lineman of the week. Logan Diggs moved into second in the SEC in rushing. Nationally, BT is first in receiving touchdowns and Malik is second in receiving yards.
- Highlighted LSU's ability to run the ball against Missouri. Over 270 rushing yards against a team that ranked among the top in the nation in rushing defense.
- Says Auburn is going to run the football early and often.
- Looking forward to playing 5 of the final 6 six games at home. 3 of first 4 games on the road were against top 25 opponents.
- Says Jayden doesn't have any major injuries. They're worried about his soreness, but he's going to be a full go for practice tomorrow.
- Feels the defense has made progress at all levels. Feels the progress up front is sustainable, but says the secondary still has work to do. Feels there are a lot of pieces coming together and thinks they can get moving in the right direction.
- Last year, Jayden wasn't progressing through is reads or staying in the pocket, but he's seen Jayden grow into one of the best passers in the nation through the past year.
- Says Missouri was trying to prevent the big play, so it gave them the opportunity to run the ball a lot and find a lot of success.
- Charles Turner is probable, had an MRI and thought he had a meniscus injury, but MRI showed it isn't as bad as they thought.
- Says it wasn't exactly the plan to have Logan Diggs be the full time RB1, but he's been physical, he's blocked well and has just done everything well for them, so they've stuck with him.
- Felt Ryan Yaites did a good job on Saturday, but they want him to play with more aggressiveness and confidence. He doesn't want to make a mistake, but he's told him to just go play free.
- They've sent in the calls they had concerns over and are waiting to hear back. Says it's hard for them to see how those are missed. "You'd think you could see a guy right in front of you moving, but I guess not."
- Thinks all three of their receivers have the ability to make the first guy miss after a catch. They have a sense and awareness to know where guys are when the make the catch.
- In their three down defense, they were moving Harold Perkins around and using different fronts. Now that they're in four down, they can use him in the SAM/Nickel positions and they can define his position better. Feels he's becoming more comfortable in his new position.
