PJ Fleck
- MSU had a lot of success on the toss play. Did everything they could to overload. MSU would then counter with a backside zone scheme.
- It was a tale of two halves split on offense and defense.
- Holding teams to field goals is a defensive win. Needed to make more plays on offense.
- Rhoda was not supposed to hand off the ball that was fumbled. Lots of mistakes from the offense in the first half.
- Staff met yesterday and talked about Demry playing a little bit today regardless. It wasn't a knee jerk reaction.
- Hasn't decided if Croft will be the starter this year. He learned a really important lesson. Need to do what's best for the football team.
- It's an absurd statement but we're under 4 minutes from being a 6-0 team.
- Mark Williams is going to be a go-to receiver and he made catches today.
- The next guys in are all freshman. But that's not an excuse. Can't wait to coach them and get them better!
- Seen a difference in Croft but not necessarily a big difference. Trust is built over a long period of time.
- Saw in the last ten minutes a team he couldn't wait to see. A ton of fight and hope in this team. The team earned the hope.
- Schlueter's probably playing before he's really ready to play but he's the future.
- Need to balance redshirts because he owes it to the seniors to win, but there's an incredibly clear vision for the future.
- Taxing on the defense to be on the field for so long in the third quarter.
- Going to grow at the pace we need to grow. There won't be band-aid fixes, we'll grow the right way.
- Sidbit: Sid asks for Fleck's unopened diet coke as the presser concludes.
- Need to draw the line in the sand and restart this week with stopping the run.
- Getting more settled and comfortable reading his keys as the season's progressed.
- MSU wanted to get the ball to the edge. We didn't all do our jobs together. We didn't set the edge and pursue the ball as we could have.
- Blessed feeling to be out there and rowing the boat. Changing my best every day.
- Learned to change his best and grow from the suspension.
- The bobbled touchdown catch was just because of a lack of focus.
- Matt Simon does a great job of coaching his release and getting separation.
