He's one of those guys that needs to correct some mistakes as well. When he had opportunities, he made plays. Along, I have said that Matt Grier is a playmaker, and everybody saw that occur on the field Saturday. "We didn't have any individual surprises. Did you have any unexpected surprises, anyone jump out at you?Ī. Obviously, anything can change during this week, but it's going to be who we think is best prepared to start the game."
Right now, I don't foresee that changing. Matt is sore and hasn't played a whole lot. Is Matt (Koon) ready to return to the starting lineup?Ī. Most of the execution was positive, but we need to correct some of the mental errors quickly." We were a little slow starting with our run blocking, but it picked up as the game went on.

They needed to play and see a game at full speed, particularly Marcus and Doug. There are mistakes and things we need to improve. Hopefully we will be able to continue that. It took some pressure off of them (Doug Buckles, Marcus Johnson), to be able to rotate different players. We brought in Cliff Woodruff early, and we played Matt Koon and Gus Carwell. With all the changes you had on the offensive line and two redshirt freshmen starting, how would you evaluate their play?Ī. Eli did a nice job of making decisions and spreading the ball around." Hopefully we don't lose anybody, but if we do, at least we have some players with experience. "We've developed depth to play at receiver and I think that is important, as the heat is a factor in the early part of the season. Is that something you would like to see every week?Ī. Eleven different receivers caught a pass this weekend. They are talented at running back, even though they are somewhat new." They played a lot of people and they are talented and deep at the skill positions. They are very experienced in the front, which always helps any young player. How do you evaluate their (Auburn's) young quarterback, who is young too?Ī. Outside of that, everything is much the same as it was." Lanier Goethie is a little banged up with an ankle. "Mitch Skrmetta is day-to-day with an ankle. We have a lot to do, but fortunately, a few days to work on the things we need to accomplish.Ī. I am anxious to return to the practice field. Our team is young, but now that we have played a game, we have something to build on.
We are playing a talented and deep Auburn team. We are going to face a tough challenge this week, and we know that. We need to minimize some of the mental errors that we had and we don't want to put the ball on the ground as much as we did offensively against Murray State. Certainly, there are some things that we need to improve on before Saturday. There were a lot of positives in execution in all three phases. We were able to play 68 players, which is always a positive, and a great way to open the season. After looking at the tape, I saw a lot of positives. I was pleased with our effort and focus for four quarters against Murray State.
