Need a great home-field advantage.

BC is a good football team. Very polished as a team. Bill O'Brien has transformed all three phases of the game, especially offense.

He said Scott Van Pelt's comparison of Thomas Castellanos to Kyler Murray is accurate.

He thinks their OL is dominant.

A good group of WRs. Highlighted former Vandy WR Jayden McGowan as a player with game-breaking speed.

4 DL starters return for BC. Linebackers play downhill and the secondary is decent.

Have to sustain blocks without holding, be physical in the trenches, and create explosive plays.

Called the BC loss in 2021 hard because of comments he made around the game. The emotional swings of the game was hard. An interception on the first play of OT and then the crowd stormed the field.

Castellanos's game has slowed down. BC is treating him as he should be, which is a good player at the quarterback position."

Can play man and spy Castellanos or play zone and be down a man in the box. It's something Mizzou will have to watch out for.

The resurgence on defense has always been player-driven. The standard is being upheld from the players of the last couple of seasons.

Johnny Walker continues to get better physically. He's at 255 lbs. He's still progressing positively as a pass rusher. He's done a good job mentoring Nwaneri and Brown. In the spring, he called a players-only meeting when the defense wasn't doing well.

The team is top five in the country in first down. The offense is efficient even though they want explosive plays but that's maturity. Teams don't want to give up explosive plays.

Lessons learned from playing Jayden Daniels last season and how it relates to Castellanos. The DL can't rush past the QB. The game plans are different. BC is a 12 personnel based team and LSU played 11.

Luther Burden and Theo Wease are feeling good. They're both probable. Norfleet is questionable he will practice. Cam'Ron Johnson is questionable.

Feel very good about the top four corners. Hopes Ja'Marion Wayne (hamstring) can play. I think he's the No. 5 CB. Drinkwitz has "total confidence" in Nic DeLoach. They like Cam Keys and Jaren Sensaubaugh.

Not worried about FG operations on 49 and 52-yard misses. "Has all the confidence in the world" in Craig.

"Alignment penalties are embarrassing and that's on me (Drink)." The holds (drink paused and smirked). They have to learn to let go of players. There were three holds last game that were easy. They will figure the other ones out.
