Josh Heupel's Opening Statements

"Good win. (I) liked a lot of what we did in the first half. Some things that we need to clean up on all three phases of the game from the first half, too. Second half started fast and you know, our young guys go in the ball game. Some good, but a lot of things that uh you know game action is proof positive of, you know, things that they got to clean up to and attention to detail, but uh all in all, good win. Um, you know, so open it up," Heupel said.

Have Injuries Impacted the Defense?

"Sure. Right. Yeah, you're missing some corners, you're missing some interior guys. Yeah. Does anybody care, though? Like, at the end of the day, you either win or you lose, right? Like there's no asterisk next to it. They don't say, 'yeah, but. You got to go win.
