  • Said they made too many mistakes on UCLA's first TD drive which were "maddening." Says all UCLA's points came off correctable mistakes.
  • They had two TD drives of 90+ yards and that was the first time that's happened in 20+ years at LSU.
  • Liked how they played in the second half. Wished they were cleaner in the first half, but thought they played complimentary football in the second.
  • Doesn't know exactly what Perkins injury is, but says he'll update on Monday.
  • They didn't make any defensive changes at half time, the players just executed the play calls better.
  • Says a lot of credit needs to go to Coach Kevin Peoples for his work with the edge rushers. Sai'vion Jones is lighter than Swinson, but he's been able to coach both of the up in different ways.
  • He has no control over the TV schedule, but says they'd prefer later games, especially early in the season. Feels bad for all the fans who needed medical attention.
  • Thinks they've found their stride offensively and are doing some good things defensively. Said they're getting good pressure and are making some big plays, but they make maddening mistakes which hurt the so much. Says they've made improvements, but they still have a ways to go.
  • They didn't think Chris Hilton was going to "add enough" to the offense to put him in there. Mentions he could be a full-go next week.
  • Says Aaron Anderson has been so consistent for them. He had a back injury Wednesday and didn't practice, was limited Thursday, but still had a big game.
  • Hope Perkins is okay, but says West Weeks will be back next week so they can stay in their 'Buffalo" package or go to their dime package.
