Coach quotes
Jacarrius Peak is “very close,” practicing this week, and “feels great.” He played 37 plays against Mississippi State, more than planned.
Peak played 37 snaps against MSU.
Darius Gray is “playing at a really high level.” It is not as simple as Peak in and Gray to the bench.
Peak and Dylan Stewart’s next step is to keep ramping in practice and in games. Best five play on Saturdays.
Beamer has moved on from the Mississippi State loss. Sellers needs to play better, and so does the rest of the team.
