HEAD COACH DAN MULLEN QUOTES October 4, 2014 Mississippi State vs. Texas A&M Opening Statement: “It was a great effort today by our guys out there on the field. Our players did a lot of the things that we needed to do to win. We made a couple of errors, but we did a lot of the things that are really important and that you need to do to win. We played one of the best teams in the country in Texas A&M, and we knew it was going to be a tough, four-quarter battle. We told our guys that we have to continue to play for four quarters, and our guys showed up and played for four quarters. We asked our fans to show up, and I don’t know if I’ve ever heard a louder Dawg Walk than what we had at 9 a.m. today. Late in the fourth quarter, even when we were up, our fans showed up for all four quarters today. They were on their feet, cheering and making noise for the entire four quarters and that’s what we need. That’s what big time football is all about. I’m proud of everyone in the locker room, in the stands and in the state of Mississippi. We’re going to enjoy this win tonight and start focusing on Auburn first thing tomorrow morning.” On Prescott handling pressure: “I thought that he did pretty well. He’s going to get more attention now with his performance, but that’s what we expect from him. In order to keep winning, he’s going to have to keep playing at a very, very high level. I think he handles it well, and fortunately, we have some people, like Brian Johnson, who have been on the biggest stages. He’s helping to coach him as a younger guy too, and was doing the same thing just a short while ago. Their relationship works really well together, so he’ll handle it very well and he knows that all we are is 2-0 in the SEC. Getting two SEC wins is not our goal, and we want to get more. We get the opportunity with the defending conference champions here next week. Dak and everybody have to be completely locked in and we have to play our best game to get a win.” MISSISSIPPI STATE PLAYER QUOTES Oct. 4, 2014 Mississippi State vs. Texas A&M 15 – Dak Prescott – Jr. – QB On comparisons with Tim Tebow: “I actually asked to wear number 15 when I first came here because of Tim Tebow, and it was an honor to get to meet him yesterday. Our games our kind of similar, but I’m a different player and I have my own type of game, but I still want to mimic him in some ways.” On playing without Dillon Day: “We have guys that are ready to step up when their number is called, and they showed it today.” On Texas A&M scoring on their first possession: “It wasn’t a surprise to us. They have an explosive offense and we knew that they were going to score. We just knew that we had to come out with our own response on offense.” 39 – Richie Brown – So. – LB On pressuring Kenny Hill: “When you have great coverage, you have great pressure, and when you have great pressure, you have great coverage. It went hand in hand. The secondary did well, so the defensive line could do great as well. It was a whole team effort.” On defensive mentality: “It’s frustrating to give up big plays. Our mentality is that as soon as we give up a big play, we have to live for the next down. We’re not going to look at the scoreboard. We’re just going to go out and play for each other, no matter what the score is.” On stepping up on defense: “That’s just what our defense does. We’re deep and we have a lot of faith in everybody. All of us are going to roll in and out, and we have confidence in all of our guys.” 66 – Ben Beckwith – Sr. – OL On the game atmosphere: “It was a fun game and an awesome win. Our fans were awesome. Everything was awesome all day.” On moving to center: “It was a little different but not that much different.

  • Sonny Dykes Quotes
    MSU COACH QUOTES Oct. 24, 2015 Kentucky vs. Mississippi State Dan Mullen Opening Statement “I’m really pleased. We wanted to play more of a complete game and tonight I think we accomplished that. Defense and special teams certainly had the best performance of the night. We keep developing and that’s really what you want to do. I think we have been playing much better than the start of the season and what you want is to get better as the season goes on. We have a bye week coming up right now and that gives us a chance to get some of our guys healthy and give some guys some rest so they can be ready to move forward to the second part of the season. This three-game stretch was huge for us. It gave us a chance to get back home and to get some big wins. There is still a lot of things we can improve on. We did miss two red zone opportunities and lost a chance on some drives because of dropped passes. When you miss red zone opportunities and aren’t able to score the field goal it is not good and we need to get better down there. We also had six penalties for 62 yards and that is not like us. That’s pretty disappointing for us, especially when one of them called back a touchdown, but we will take the win. It is a really good win for us and we can take this week and build off of it and improve.” On the defense having a slow start “The first drive of the game we stalled on them and gave up a third down conversion.
