...

EJ on MSU O: "They can no-huddle and tempo without changing personnel and give you every formation in book. That makes it extremely hard."

@bmarcello

...

...

Lashlee on cowbells: "They affect the game. But noise is noise. When you go on the road you have to prepare w/o any verbal communication."

@AUBlog

Lashlee: "We've got to do better on first downs...if we can get better, then it will just help us in general with finishing drives."

...

Lashlee on Mississippi State's front seven: "They're big. They're strong. They're physical...they will be the best defense we've played."

These threads freaking rule. Thanks as always, Red.

I think maybe we've been underselling Mincy's overall importance on this defense just a bit. Man, he has been doing a great job.

Love CEJ's response about the starting LBs.

Nice, I wish Sammie didn't say he hated those cowbells though. It will only rile up their fans more.
