Presser 9-21-20
Scotty Walden
Andrew Cole is ok will play, was injured, but will play vs Tulane.
Position group most improved WR and DB’s
Group less improved D Line played hard, missed assignments
Frank Gore Jr has the intangibles you can’t coach./ he is still young, reminds coach of Ito Smith
Keon is a great leader works hard has their respect
This game is important to recruiting. Tulane has really made inroads in recruiting in the Pine Belt. A lot of playmakers on both offense and defense are from South Mississippi.
Matt Kubik
There was major improvement on the offense.
Washington didn’t make the right block on the Interception, was a missed assignment or would have been 6.
Tulane has a really strong DL, #5 Cameron Sample and #77 Jeffrey Johnson (Brookhaven High School) are next level players
Frank Gore Jr, has a knack for making big plays. Really instinctive football payer/running back. Just like his dad, Frank Gore has a high football IQ
No big adjustments made on the OL, just got to work and get better and better
K Washington will be starting at LT
They hope to get Dee Baker back this weekend.
Coach Pec:
He thought the defense played harder and tackled better. the D Forced 16 or 17 3rd downs and couldn’t get them off the field.
Played a lot more guys this week than last week.
Keon has a strong arm, great athlete, good leader,will be excited to play against him. He will also be amped up to come back to Hattiesburg and play Southern Miss.
Tulane RB’s are good and they do a good job in run schemes.
Watched the 2nd half of Navy game and they took away some ideas from that.
They are going to try and get depth at LB with TQ Newsome getting more reps.
Frank Gore Jr:
The team is improving, getting better every week.
Biggest challenge for him was speed of the game.
Dad’s pointers:
Stay focused, talk to god, don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself.
Tim Jones is the guy who he looks up to the most with his attitude and approach to everything. He is a big time player but doesn’t act like it, just goes to work every day.
High football IQ comes from the his family
When younger he was a 49er fan. Now he is a fan of players not a team.
Mother is biggest role model: Mother taught him, be who you are and do what you do because he is special.
