Any guesses on what the first question will be?

Crockett is suspended. Said team policy is an arrest during the season is a minimum of one game suspension.

Witter and Strong will be the main guys in the running game, Alex Ross will get work in practice.

Odom has given Charles Harris the option to be honored on senior day. Harris has declined for right now. Decision on whether he'll go pro hasn't been made, but they've talked about it.

Praising Culkin and all tight ends, particularly in their blocking.

Markell Utsey done for the year with a knee injury. Final MRI not back. Sam Bailey day to day with an ankle injury.

Odom says he plans to continue being involved with the defense going forward. "I've got to coach." Asked if he hopes the entire staff comes back he says "Absolutely." But that's all he can say.

Team banquet Saturday then staff has two weeks to recruit on the road and will immediately get out there. Players will heal up and lift for a couple weeks, finals week starts December 12th and then players split till January. Will have exit meetings and evaluate the program as a staff when they get back from recruiting.

Asked about Cross' future. Said that they have been and will continue to work together. Certainly talked as if he expects him back. But again, there's no way he's going to say anything else right now.

Says he feels the offense has gotten better throughout the season, excited about what's coming back. Says he feels they're getting into a groove now and is excited about the progress.
