As always, Brian Kelly was the first one on the call, so here are some notes from his teleconference this morning.
Hugh Freeze comes on at 12:10 CST, so check this thread again around 12:30 for some notes on his teleconference!
- Says this is a very difficult offense to defend. Two QBs who can run and throw with a physical offensive line.
- Highlights Auburn's defensive line, said they're probably one of the best they'll face all year.
- Jayden has 5 games of at least 4 touchdowns. Ranks 1st in SEC in Touchdowns, pass efficiency and passing yards.
- He's had QBs that have had different skill sets, but says Jayden's speed, durability and toughness make him unique. Says he's the second QB he's had hit 10,000 passing and 2,000 rushing yards.
- Hopes the turnovers forced last week can get his defensive on the right track. Says turnovers and sacks are 'contagious' and he hopes they can feed off that.
- Joe Sloan has been an important part of Jayden's development. Says Jaydens and Sloan's relationship is really good, and he's seen those two grow together.
- Says every offense has it's identity, but this Auburn offense is a little different. They run two QBs and you have to key in on the rushing threat more than normal.
- Feels LSU played better on Saturday due to some of the things Pete Jenkins brought up. There's still a long way to go, but feels Jenkins' experience will help them continue to improve.
- Talks about not only his team, but the entire nation supporting Greg Brooks. Arkansas and Missouri wore the 3 sticker on their helmet and when he was moved to Memphis, the Memphis football coach reached out. Says his players have been impacted, because they now realize how lucky they are to play the game, because it can all be taken away from them at any minute.
