Coach Talk

Space Force
You know what, Space Force, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out a starter with zero points (Danny Johnson), while still getting a W.
Mississippi
Here's a list of scenarios where it's borderline acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Wil Lutz might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following this effort... especially every point being so crucial for Mississippi in this narrow matchup.
