Recap:

-Auburn with their backs against the wall had a strong game plan and played extremely well. I gotta give them credit for playing an emotional game and stepping up.
-we handle them much more efficiently if we don't make mistakes and play sloppy...I attribute it to youth and some guys that aren't completely comfortable in their position right now. We have some things to fix, we're looking forward to it.
-Fumble at goal line, easy fix, due to young guy at center and cadence
-QB plays very key role in game, plays well. But he cannot turn it over in the pocket, though. That's our ball and our QB has to hold onto it.
-plenty to fix, need to clean up some stuff, team looking forward to doing that
-special teams: wing wants one punt back but had three key punts....drew was rushed on FG, penalty called, Auburn decides to decline penalty, and we have to hurry the kick...drew makes that kick if not rushed IMO
-Penalty reviews: calls were legitimate calls...will speak to head of officials today and get his view. Our guys have to recognize how the game is going to be officiated and in several instances they were good clean honest mistakes. Unfortunate position that the retaliation sometimes get the penalty. Most weren't egregious fouls. No cheap shots. Great learning experience for our players...we can't give opponent 80 yards.
-Sam Dlineman of week in SEC. Big plays. Played well in first half, even better in second half. At halftime, he stepped up in the locker room. Great leadership, great year, expect it to continue.
-don't turn the ball over twice, had opportunity to maybe distance ourselves from opponent. No reason to change our offense.
-receivers are improving, but its a work in progress....key in several instances, and in other instances can play better. Gotta give credit to opponent as well, they covered some routes.
-Offensive Tackles/Presuure: Absolutely concerned with getting into our backfield....One was a miscommunication with the back, we're going to make our tackles more aware, I think we can fix it
-Turnovers/Penalties: Good news is our team understands the position we are in, and if they want to win, then they are going to have to fix that. Frankly, this is not a new conversation....ball security is going to be the first thing on the practice schedule every week, nothing new there. There is no personal liberty here, this is a must. This is nothing new to the team, it just needs to be adressed more specifically.
-Like RB ball security, Wilson has good regimen of ball security we follow week-in-week-out
-Luke Muncie getting better and better....virus right now, nothing too serious
-no aversion to collins at LT....we like our starting lineup the way it is right now, want him to get comfortable where he is, we like him there. josh d is fine...If there is a point in time a move needs to be made, we could make it, but we like him where he's at
-what we're doing offensively, the things we're asking Zach to do, he can do....Besides protection issues, we're working on that. It's not just him, it's offensive lines, back, playcalls...we've got to address the issue and we're doing that
-Lavar was blocking for interception return,
-Potential to be very good offensive line long-term. Don't want to disrupt the entire offensive line with change.
-The 1-yard-line fumble, that playcall is going to be called again and again and again...that was not the QB's mistake. Red zone turnovers thus far are not going to change our playcalls going forward
-Ware catch was maybe most significant play of the game
-We wanted to win the game on 3rd down, which is why we took the timeout before 3rd down. Game's over if we get first down, thought we had a good 3rd down call.
-Drew would have never missed that if he had not been rushed....Penalty+Decision eats some play clock, ran FG team out onto the field and be hurried....No penalty=routine event send FG team out like normal. Penalty cost us some valuable time
