Mississippi State Head Coach Sylvester Croom Mississippi State vs. Kentucky November 1, 2008 Opening Comments… “First I would like to congratulate Coach (Rich) Brooks and Kentucky on today. Basically, they found a way to win and we didn’t, and that is the bottom line.” On the missed extra point… “I will have to look at it on film. From where I stood I could not see what exactly had happened. I knew they were going to try and get a push and get that high jumper in there. You are suppose to give that one second delay before you hit the snapper and that was my question that I had to the official. But, we knew we had to get the ball up and we did not do a good job of that.” On missed opportunities… “A missed extra point and a missed field goal in close ballgame like we were just a part of are unacceptable.” On the offensive play… “We were moving the ball well. Had a few missed opportunities but we still played well. We had Aubrey (Bell) opened early in the game and I am not sure if Tyson (Lee) saw him. I thought Brandon Henderson played an excellent game, he actually played hurt. He has really grown up this year and I have been very pleased with his performance of late. Henderson and (Arnil) Stallworth are two guys that have made a lot of improvement over the year and helped us out tremendously.” On Anthony Dixon’s performance… “I thought he played well for the carries he had. He ran hard and ran down hill. He went up against an excellent defensive front and they were keying in on him which opened up the pass for us today.” On the defensive penalties in the second half… “Those were very tough to overcome. The one called on (Derek) Pegues was one that was debatable. I thought the ball was uncatchable from what I saw on the new jumbo-tron he gave him a little tug but the ball was thrown high. I am not disputing the call it is just a different opinion.” On close losses… “When we look at the film in games like these, you can always find eight or 10 plays in which we make the play we win the ballgame. We can name a couple right now, we make the field goal we win the game. We make the extra point things change. We get off the field on the opening drive of the second half things are different. That is what close games are all about, making plays in critical moments, and we did not do that and they did.” On Kentucky’s scoring drives… “The difference on those drives were they ran the ball on us. It was not anything they did passing and we had sound coverage throughout the day, they just decided they were going to run right at us on that drive and that is what is disappointing.” On the rushing game… “They piled the line of scrimmage which opened up our passing game. We had to adjust to how their defense was playing us, but when we did run the football we were effective to the most part. Mississippi State Player Quotes Mississippi State vs. Kentucky November 1, 2008 DB Jasper O’Quinn On Kentucky changing quarterbacks often… “When Cobb was in, they tried to spread us out and get us in the open field so he can make plays. He’s a great playmaker. He’s a freshman, but he’s a great playmaker. So they wanted to spread us out and get him the ball and let him make plays. Hartline’s the thrower. Cobb makes plays with his feet, but when the other player (Hartline) is in, he likes to throw the ball down the field and get something going through the air. We knew when Cobb was in the game we had to be aware of the run and the throw. People sometimes overlook the fact he can throw the ball. It was tough with both of them. They did a great job.” On the loss… “It was tough. But like coach said, we have to keep faith, keep fighting. It’s the sprit of the team. We’ve had ups and downs all year, bad things happen but we always seem to have faith in god and believe in each other and come out each week and fight. It seems like we’re going to be down, but we find a way to come back and fight.” On leaving a win on the field… “We didn’t make the plays we needed to make. We had opportunities to make big plays and we just didn’t do it. All in all, it was a good effort, offense and defense.” LB Dominic Douglas On Randall Cobb’s performance… “He’s a freshmen. I give him credit. He’s a good quarterback. He’s got a lot of years of maturity. He’s a good player for them, and he came up with big plays for them.” On the upcoming bye week… “We’re getting ready for the road contest at Alabama. The weekend off is going to be good for us. It will give us time to rest and get our bodies to top level where they need to be. They’re number one or number 2 in the nation, so we need this off week to get our bodies in a position to come out in two weeks and play top notch football.” WR Brandon McRae On the game… “I don’t know what it was. They had a good defensive plan and they executed very well. They stopped us, and I guess we didn’t do enough on offense.” On moving the ball well but only coming up with 13 points… “I can’t really say. We just didn’t put enough points on the board.” On the blocked extra point… “It hurts. It’s like a punch to the gut. It hurts really bad. We lost a lot of momentum. We just didn’t capitalize.” On the early missed opportunities… “I have to look at the film and see what we did wrong. I can’t really pinpoint what it was.” On the passing game… “I don’t know what Tyson did but he was throwing the ball real well today.” Kentucky Head Coach Rich Brooks Quotes Mississippi State vs. Kentucky November 1, 2008 Opening Comments… “The first half was a struggle for us offensively. I was proud of the way that the team came out in the third quarter and took charge of the game. It looked like we were in pretty good shape and then we turned the ball over a couple of times and let them come down and make plays. The kicking game came up big and it also bit us a little bit today.
