The 55-year-old coach identified some of the key players from the opposing side. He said:“Really impressed with Jackie Marshall and Devyn Bobby. I think those two guys are really good players. They’ve got a highly rated transfer Matthew Fobbs-White from Tulane. He’s a pass rusher that’s a really good player. Tevin Williams III is a really solid guy and then Keaton Thomas is a returning that looks like a real SEC-type player.”However, he also had a message for his players.
