Starts in five minutes. I'll pass on the words he says so you guys can get angry about them.
Starts by giving us a history lesson on homecoming.
"I'm excited about playing at 11 a.m." DAMN RIGHT
Important six game stretch, have to take them one at a time.
Have put in a few things on offense the last few weeks that have helped. Played well on first and second down, couldn't get off the field on third down. "That's where we've spent all our time defensively the last 48 hours."
Mentions coverage and pressure on the QB as major factors.
I asked about the relationship between pressure and coverage. He said they didn't do either one well and then went to a zone concept, which gave Fromm even more time. When they did get pressure, they couldn't cover long enough to make a play.
On Crockett: Will know more later in the week. He's supposed to practice tomorrow but will be limited in reps.
Says AJ Logan has handled his academic situation incredibly well. Has run things for the scout team on the offensive line. "You talk about the example of an unbelievable great teammate and a leader, he's done it."
Says Logan volunteered to be on kickoff return. "He wants to play as many snaps as he can."
Says he expects Logan to be able to play and contribute right away because it's not an injury situation.
Moving Prewett to safety is trying to get their best 11 on the field. Said his athleticism might be more helpful at safety. Thinks Brandon Lee can be the guy at that weakside linebacker spot.
Anthony Sherrils is back ready to go after the concussion that has kept him out of the last two games.
Cam Hilton has taken reps at corner, both safeties and the nickel linebacker spot and they have some packages in where he can help them.
Christian Holmes is "getting close."
"I've got to win. That will help everything and solve everything" he says when asked about his comments wanting to emulate Georgia. "It's okay to dream and work and push towards that." Says he's grateful for all their fan support, but also UGA had 95K at the spring game and it's okay to want to get to things like that.
Addressed the team about the last six games of the season. Said he was very open and direct. "They know what's out there and what's not out there." There will be plenty of challenges each week, but also need to look at the big picture. I asked him if he would like to be as open and honest with us, he sort of was. Picked up a can of lighter fluid that he said was used in the meeting. Also said sprinklers didn't go off so perhaps need to be checked.
Josh Heupel is coming up in 25 minutes.
Heupel talking now.
"Nobody's happy with the outcome of the ballgame, nobody's happy with scoring 28 points." Said he thought the offense did compete, made some plays down the field.
"We're capable of being a good offense. That's something we've talked about inside this room with our players. We have to be better."
On the run game: UGA really good up front "their front seven is as good as you're going to see." Said they make a lot of one on one tackles. There were a couple plays where Missouri had some holes and could have done more, but overall, UGA just makes it tough to run the ball.
Emanuel Hall: Had planned on having a bigger role previous couple of weeks, minor injuries prevented it. "He's practicing as well as anybody we have on the offensive side of the ball."
At this point not sure who the third back would be if Crockett is unable to go.
On Yasir Durant: Capable of playing more consistent than he has. Like a lot of things that he's doing. Said Howell played quite a bit the other night too.
Said that splitting time with Howell has more to do with Durant playing well than Howell not playing well. "We didn't have any depth a year ago."
Having same mentality and approach is important, says the team is starting to develop that. Early in the year may have pressured themselves a little bit to have to score every time they touched it, but they're starting to develop the right approach. "Every play is its own play. Previous play does not matter, next play does not matter. This is the only one that matters."
Said Lock's decision making Saturday was "probably as sound as it's been."
Early in the year Lock wasn't aggressive enough to be a runner, but has done it the last couple of weeks and Heupel says it's critical to the offense. "I still think there's a part of him on third downs...that he's got the ability to push up and escape the pocket and make the plays with his feet."
