Mack presser 09/18 - brief notes

[bbdude]

Mack talked a lot today about the score of the Ole Miss game and whether or not to take a knee, etc. He said the players wanted to cross the 70 point mark. Frankly I wish they would have because like I have said, not sure what is more insulting... running up the score or taking a knee. Either way is discgraceful.

Jordan Hicks, Anthony Fera and Joe Bergeron will not practice and will be evaluated again on Sunday. Mack mentioned the condifence of the team after the big win in Oxford. Also said the defensive gave up a lot of big plays - too many. The schemes were not to blame but they would look at each player on defense to address the defensive issues.

Also if you remember we mentioned Dalton Santos looked like he limped off the field on a kickoff coverage play and he injured his calf. Do not think he will miss any playing time.

Coach was very pleased with the running game and said he wants to try and involve Johnathan Gray more in it.

We've handled Fera the right why. We could live without Bergeron against Okie light but we need Hicks.

I think the game plan is to assume Hicks won't be ready by Ok. State. That injury looked pretty painful.

Mack wants to run the "Gray engine" more often so he may have his shot against the Stillwater boys.
