Hall of Honor induction ceremony (Alex Okafor)
Womens soccer SEC kickoff this week
Played 77/120 players, 6 scorers, 9 carried ball, 11 caught a pass, 28 players with defensive stats
QB depth getting tested, Quinn non-contact he'll be questionable. Day to day.
Great opportunity for Arch, came in with no notice, as a backup should. Came composed, played high level, some things to work on.
Story of the game is complimentary football, created explosive plays 9 yard per play, 3.8 yards per play allowed including the 56 yarder bust up on defense.
Defense getting big stops is great on recovery
Players are being very coachable, coaches are coaching their asses off.
ULM 2-0, being nice saying they have a lot of new faces and stuff.
Question 1: Collin Simmons getting to QB, what do you like most and whats the next step?
He's improved from week 1 to week 4. Has confidence in what to do. Impactful when he gets to rush the passer. Working on making him a complete player, focusing on run game to round him out.
Anthony hill comparison, great work ethic and focus.
Question 2: how do you keep on track as ranked 1?
Because of the playoff "it really doesn't matter" it's not what other people think of us it's what we do.
Mission is "far far from over", the guys don't even talk about it. Giving eachother a hard time on what to improve and making fun of ethan burke diving into the endzone.
Question 3: Superstar backup QB and hype, how do you handle it?
I don't do anything, arch is just another guy on our team. He's just that way, selfless teammate. Coach speak rest of answer everyone sucks each others dicks it doesn't matter.
Follow up: Quinn out what's going on?
he's a pro, he'll be ready to come back in etc.
Question 4: assess defensive coaching staff so far this year
doing a great job, adjusted and evolved from year to year. new ideas from Nansen and PK - important that they are playing hard fast and creating turnovers. Having a lot of fun, they are celebrating different than ever before. confidence.
Question 5: Ryan Wingo how is he doing as a freshman
Size speed range, really rare don't find that every day. Brought humility and work "not look at me ryan wingo". He has an explosive play ability sark has never seen. Working on details, but bright future
Question 6: What do you want to see for the next level of the defense?
Want to keep people out of the endzone. Create turnovers, keep explosive pass plays from happening. Wants the broken play run for a TD back. Thinks 19 should be 12 allowed this season
Question 7: How do you manage the success for your team through the next weeks?
I don't care, we don't pay attention, coach speak answer. Hard to see when you are 5-7 consistent messaging. Formula for success, key component "better never rests"
Question 8: Talk about running game, what about Jaydon Blue?
Blue and Mcdonald are both improving looking good. Run game is blocking really really well, WR being challenged to block better on edges and safetys for really big runs. Jerrick is running like a baby rhino he needs to learn to juke and make people miss in space. Getting use to open field it's new to these runners.
Question 9: When did quinn get hurt?
Gunnar helm hurdle play. He felt it and no one noticed because he hurdled that guy. He felt it and tried to work it out but it didn't so he went down
Question 10: How difficult is it to be mentally prepared to definitely touch the ball with the depth.
Choice coaches all of them like they are getting 25 carries a game. Thats why they are ready.
Question 11: Assess arch decisions
yeah he's doing great, 9/12 great decisions bla bla did checkdowns technical talk about reads. missed a throw human nature. Being a physical team, he took a huge shot and stood in the pocket to deliver a TD pass. He pulled the ball to run and it was great decision making.
Question 12: Freshman or recruits coming in, how critical is it to spell out the vision/roadmap/how fast can they contribute?
Important for all of them. Compares banks and baxter to helm as freshman vs developers. They have a list of improvements and do it in practice, the more things you do well the more opportunities you get. Special teams is a great way to build confidence. Like working out and eating right transformations when people see you and say wow (lol bitchtits)
Question 13: how does the playcalling get effected by mobility like arch? who does he remind you of?
the more things we do well the harder we are to defend. Won't major in it, QB won't carry 10-20 yards a game, doesn't mean they won't use it to keep them honest. Comparison Jake Locker who was a great runner and he "had to run him" physically thats the comparison.
Question 14: On 3rd down what leads to elite defense?
Knowing how we want to play the calls. Technical coach speak. Credit to PK. Doesn't give the rhythm on 3rd down, he'll call things that are catching people off guard. Players executing that call is important. Very good short yardage team.
Question 15: Arch to wingo, drops back like lefty then throws righty why would you do that?
Subtle pocket movement. they move him around and don't like him straight behind so they can't find rhythm and change launch point. Don't make QB a sitting duck.
Question 16: cutoff for quinn to call start? Arch starts alters plans with 1s?
Yeah duh you fucking moron. next question
Question 17: what have you learned from the tape of your reserves this season?
Colton Vasek is great. Likes to see the O-line young guys. Compare week 1 to week 3 cuz a lot played both. Percentage high of improvement
Question 18: Question about his dad mode when his son is in?
First game he was ripping someones ass, this time He took headset off this time, he just wanted to watch him play. Then he yelled to blitz 32 WHY ARENT YOU BLITZING HIM jokes. registered half a tackle. Honor to play here. Proud of brady etc etc.
Question 19: Trey Owens assessment + does it change his week?
Yeah fucking duh, he did great poised and composed got fucked by RB made good throws poise and composure was there playing in front of 100k. In good hands with him as the backup.
