Said if you told him before the game that Ole Miss wouldn't score a TD in the second half, he'd say they had a pretty good shot at winning the game.
Bradyn Swinson has now won three SEC DL of the Weeks honors.
Over the last four years, all their games against Arkansas have been decided by one score. Says it won't be an easy game to travel there and win. They lead the SEC in third down conversions.
Calls Taylen Green big and physical. He's a mobile QB who can also beat you with his arm.
Thinks they've done a great job defensively. They're huge up front and play fundamentally sound on the back end.
Called Saturday the first night we saw everything come together.
Nuss had other options on the last touchdown to Aaron Anderson to try to pick up the first down, but he had to work his way to his third progression and anticipated where Anderson was going to be. Says he threw him open.
Says they break their running plays down by successful (4+ yards or first down conversions on third or fourth down) and unsuccessful plays. They had 9 successful, 10 unsuccessful and 4 "washes." Says their unsuccessful plays weren't one issue, they had multiple guys make one or two mistakes each time, so he says everyone - QB coach, Oline coach, TE coach, WR coach, RB coach - need to do a better job of getting their guys ready.
Defensively, having success on first downs was crucial this week, and he felt they did a really good job on early downs. Also credits his defense for tackling on the perimeter.
Despite the lawsuit, they still love and hope for the best for Greg Brooks. Says it is what it is, but it doesn't change how they feel about Greg.
Wants to see Nussmeier tuck the ball and run more. They get a good amount of man coverage, and some times the field just opens up, and he wants to see him take it.
Corey Raymond has a ton of experience and has a great track record. Thinks he's done a great job of developing guys like Stamps and Alexander. Says it was never going to happen overnight, but he has a lot of young players who are improving.
Says they have to get Trey'Dez Green on the field more often. They can eliminate the complications that come with a TE by just putting him out wide. Says "I think you're going to see that moving forward."
They got a love of cover 2 and man coverage, so the only ways to attack were to go deep or come across the middle of the field. They started calling plays that had routes coming across the middle, and it took some time to develop, so they needed excellent pass protection.
Feels pretty good that CJ Daniels and/or Chris Hilton will be back this week. Says "We'll get somebody back, whether it's CJ or Chris."
Says Taylen Green is as fast as anybody that they'll see. Basically calls him a better version of LaNorris Sellers, who really hurt them earlier in the year before he got injured.
They didn't give Ole Miss a consistent look all game. They felt it was very important to mix coverages up, so they gave them a shell and then switched it up post snap.
