Coach Hall Monday Presser....

A few things:

Wilcke is the starter going forward.

Adjustment made during game was to simply things.

During the week off the will focus on themselves amd start looking at Troy later this week.

Keyes and Bozeman are having MRI"s today. I have heard a wrist for Keyes and groin for Bozeman. (HOPE I AM WRONG)

that's all we get cause they only go about 10 min.

Thoughts on the win over Tulane....

1. Different teams can out of the locker room before the game and at halftime.

2. USM was getting handled up front in the first half on both sides of the ball. The 2nd half was completely different. Tackling was better and the O-Line was much more physical, and the D-Line really beat up on Pratt at QB. He will need an ice bath tomorrow.

3. USM has a QB. There shouldn't be a question who the starter is now. If anything it is an issue of durability at this point. Wilcke grew up this game. Will there be bumps in the road? Yes, but the young man plays hard and doesn't rattle.

4. That was the old Nasty Bunch in the 2H.

5. Having a reliable kicker will win games. However Lange has been phenomenal at getting snaps down all year. Not all snaps have been good.

6. Will Hall needed this win and so did the program. The Eagles have a week off before heading to Troy who is much improved.

The SBC is just too much fun and so much better than C-USA in every way.
