Walden (is actually back)

Got back this AM and met with the staff
Very disappointing in outcome of the game
Very proud of resiliency and effort in the game and come back like they did in 2nd half
Now that they are playing hard, there is still no excuses in mental errors
Giving uo way too many explosive plays.
When defense is giving up points offense has to score, both sides must play complimentary football.
Tate played his heart out, very proud of him.
Special teams were very good.
When the offense and defense is clicking this team is very good.
Willis the LU QB is extremely good.
He would zoom into team and staff meetings, which kept him in the loop during last week.
Sit back watching the game on TV, he was able to see the game completely different.
Tate's status is still up in the air. He is a tough kid.
Hoping to have Jack back this week.
Not much film on Rice, but there is not much turnover on their staff. They have a good defensive plan and will be a challenge.
All options are on the table on the OL. What they will do on the OL will be decided this week. Will Trace be back? Will Scott continue to play Guard, etc...
They feel like they are getting a handle on this Covid situation. They are turning the curve and maybe on the back end of this.
He feels the running game was going in the right direction. They want to be known as a vertical offense and the running game is doing that. They have really simplified the running game and that has helped.
Rice played extremely hard and are a much improved football team.
Any team in CUSA can beat anyone.
Brownlee is a hard worker and wants to be the best and wants to get better.
He can't really talk recruiting, but excited to see kids in the area excited to stay with Southern Miss.

Kubik:

He thought the OL did an extremely good job.
He thought G Scott played well at Guard and will get more reps.
Over the last few weeks they are really running 3 or 4 schemes and that has really helped the running game.
He has been nothing but impressed with Tate this whole season. He throws the ball extremely well. He prepares hard and is tough. He had a couple forced throws, but played really good.
Gore Jr is one of the most mature and smartest Freshman he has ever seen.
Trey Lowe 111 is the backup QB right now. He had a really good week of practice.

Pecoraro:

Eagles gave up too many explosive plays and missed too many tackles.
Supposedly they did not have a camera view to review the spot on 4th down in the 1st half. (ESPN 3)
Eagles must tackle better.
Brooks has played every singe position in the defensive backfield, problem is he can't get comfortable at one position and he probably is their best DB.
Not much film on rice, they have to adjust, look to past film, but this is 2020.

Latham:

The sack at the start of 2nd half really got the team going, be believes.
Rice is similar to last season and wants to run the ball.
He feels the trainers are doing a great job dealing with Covid.
Not having Coach Walden on the sideline was different because he brings energy.

Brownlee:

He woke up and find out he was on "you got Mossed" on ESPN. Big honor for Moss to recognize him.
Nothing much has changed at WR since Walden took over as HC.
He missed Walden's energy on the sideline and so did the team. They love Walden.
He felt he had to step up once Tim Jones went down due to energy.
