POST PRACTICE QUOTES

        

Quarterback Brandon Allen on Mississippi State’s pass defense: “They have a real solid D-line.  Their linebackers are big and physical.  Those guys are real disruptive and they kind of make a lot of plays for them.  Their secondary are obviously good SEC players.  They have a bunch of athletic guys back there and they’ll make the plays when you let them.  It’s our job to get open and make some plays in the passing game because they have a really tough front seven.”

Allen on Mississippi State’s linemen: “They do a few different things.  I think they want to be a four-down team and a little bit of three-down.  They do a good job of mixing up coverages and doing different things in the secondary.  It’s really up to me to recognize the coverages and see things.”

Offensive guard Brey Cook on Mississippi State’s Preston Smith: “He’s a very talented kid, very talented football player.  He’s big, strong and he’s definitely a guy that stands out on film.  I’ve watched a lot of film on him so far and will continue to do so.  We’re excited to go out there and play against that talent.”

Tight end coach Barry Lunney on the importance of the tight ends: “They’re no more important than the other 11 that are out there, but we obviously have to play at a high level.  I think every single player on the football team has to play at their highest level for us to go win the football game.  Sure, the tight ends have to play well.  They have to be big in the run game against some big physical ends and linebackers.  We have to be big in the passing game.  If we do our 1/11th—each guy does their 1/11th of the formula—we’ll have a real good chance to win.”

Lunney on maintaining balance offensively: “We’ve got to be balanced.  We have to run it, throw it.  It’s hard to be one-dimensional and beat anybody, much less the number one team in the country that’s playing really good defense with good physical, athletic, talented players that are well coached.  If you don’t go into the game trying to be balanced and striving to achieve balance, it’ll be difficult for us to accomplish what we want to accomplish.”

Offensive line coach Sam Pittman on Mississippi State’s run defense: “They’re big.  You look at their front four and they’re really heavy—athletic and heavy.  Their linebackers are big guys.  They have one guy that’s 225 pounds, but the rest of them are 250 pounds and up and can run.  A lot of the guys have a lot of experience.  We went back and watched our game from last year and almost everybody is in the game that’s going to be in the game on Saturday.”
