Source.

2. Injury Report:

Kyle Trask (Foot Fracture) - Possible return for bowl game.
Brett Heggie (Ankle Sprain) - Questionable
Freddie Swain (Ankle Sprain) - Expected to play
Brad Stewart (Quad Strain) - Day to Day

3. Coach Speak about Idaho.

4. Kadarius Toney talk. Says Toney needs to improve as a wide receiver. Says he's very unpredictable. Some people say Mullen seems annoyed by Toney talk.

5. Defense talk. Just talking about improving the defense, asked about if he laid into them. Talks about communication and all that jazz.

6. Back to Kadarius Toney. "Do you trust him?" Talks about ball security -- and Toney needs to work on scheme.

7. Questioned about Feleipe's statement that he couldn't see the play caller and so he called his own number. Mullen says it was the same play anyway.

"He's a little flaky sometimes."

8. Asked about Franks' confidence. Seems annoyed by this. Honestly, sounds like someone is lying because he said they called the same play and Feleipe ran the same play.

9. Asked if Feleipe plays better when he's mad. Talks about Feleipe not running it correctly the first time, "at times it can help".

10. Asked about Freshmen, who will dress -- basically says he will have more opportunities to play other players.

11. Asked about Emory. "We always have a plan for Emory."

12. Asked about fans and expectations/pressure. "You have to pay attention to them." Says that it's always more polemic on the outside of the 'building' (training area).

13. Asked about the dichotomy between freshmen and seniors and how difficult it is to get people to 'buy in'. Says that the sooner that everyone buys in, the sooner we'll win. (This is where he said that a lot of the seniors wanted to stay another year.)

14. How did Martez and CeCe buy in? Says that they did. Says that they had time to figure it out, but they definitely bought in and that's why we have had so much success so far.

15. What would you have done if Grimes didn't catch a tipped pass? Says he'd've probably punted.

16. Talks about the broken play (tipped pass) further, says he wants to talk more about the penalties that happened and thinks they had more impact on the game than that play.

17. Any trick plays to unknown players? Says they don't really have anything planned out. Kind of weird question.

18. Talked about the SEC restrictions to players who can take part in the game again. (It's 70 for SEC, 85 for OOC).

19. Talked about Ryan Farr and the group doing their dance after the third quarter.

20. Asked about McPherson's short kick-offs, and Mullen says it was planned. Wanted higher kicks rather than take the risk on a mishit.
