Head Coach Hal Mumme Quotes

(On the LSU offense)

“Their offense is not one-dimensional. They optioned the ball and threw the ball 31 times against Florida. They’re a very talented group. They’re very tough to stop.”

(On the LSU defense)

“I think their philosophy is a little bit different than it was last season. They’re more zone-oriented. They’re still real good at getting pressure up the middle. They’re a very talented and athletic team.”

(On the LSU crowd)

“There’s the noise factor at LSU. We’ll do something unusual this week and practice Thursday night after the J.V. game to get closer to the game time.”

(On the UK rushing)

“We’re waiting for somebody to rise in the rushing category. We want someone to put two games back-to-back. We want 100 yards from each of our backs. We really don’t care how we get it. Anthony White and Derek Homer are both getting 100 yards per game. They’re just getting more yards in the air than on the ground.”

(On Dennis Johnson)

“Dennis is growing into the college game. We’re very thankful that he’s been able to play as well as he has as a freshman. I think he’s going to continue to contribute.”
