Joey Aguilar and Mike Matthews met with the media following the road win in Starkville.

The pair once again connected at various times throughout the night. There is one play that the connection didn't hold that may have blew the game open early on, but the quarterback wide receiver combo just continued to battle.

Second Half Difference for Mike Matthews

"I really just talked to myself at halftime. You know, I got to give all glory to God just talking to him. So, of course, I had to make some changes and get me right, but you know, it ended up working out perfectly," Matthews said.

Overall Game Reflection for Joey Aguilar

"I'll probably process everything a little later tonight or tomorrow. You know, I'm still cooling off from the game, but exciting game. Uh, you know, super fun. You know, thank God for putting me in this position and allowing me my team to go out there and, you know, keep everybody safe and have a fun game. But, uh, man, I'm not even sure, I'm still trying to process the game, you know. I mean, uh great team win. You know, we was in this position not too long ago, uh and came out, you know, focused on details throughout the week and got put in that position again. Shout out the team for fighting. Shout out defense for getting us out certain situations, but overall, I think offensively, we got to execute a little bit better on my part, for sure, but great win," Aguilar said.
