He did a very good job, I agree!

He?s officially (unofficially) out. Concussion

yeah after the tua fiasco nobody is gonna play for at least a week with a head injury now.

Pittman today “He has some mild symptoms and those are things that our doctors look at,” Pittman said. “Each kid’s a little bit different for how they react and we’ve had guys back in 3 or 4 days, we’ve had guys out for 27 days. He’s kind of a wait and see, to be honest with you.”

Asked if Jefferson is in concussion protocol, Pittman said, “I didn’t say that.”

Well if Pittman is saying now that he has mild symptoms he can not let him play Saturday. KJ is going to get hit by our team. There’s no question about that. If after he is “cleared” and gets hurt Saturday that may be Pittman job.

Yeah I can't believe with what's just happened he would even be entertaining the thought of putting him out there.

If he has concussion symptoms of any kind, I really hope they do not let him on the field because he will get hit several times and from every direction by State's D.
I would hate for something like happened to Tua happen to anyone much less at the hands of one of States players.

Whoever the QB is, he going to get hit.

With this defense, thats a given. Just dont want it to be a kid with a concussion.

1) In any game, turnovers are the great equalizer. Don't be stupid with the ball.

2) They can't score as many as we can. We win the game if we play well. We are certainly better than they are.

3) I hate that Bookie Watson is out, but it's a great opportunity for a backup to earn some experience and push for more playing time (JP Purvis). Injuries or suspensions aren't good, but it's always an opportunity for someone else to show what they can do.

4) I would like to see a nice early lead to really put the pressure on Arkansas. But if we get one, we can't relax.

I'm ok with Bookie being out. I thought JP actually played better.

Bookie will only be out the first half, I think.

Correct since the penalty was during the second half of the aTm game. His suspension should be only for the first half of the Arky game.

Bookie wont be out the whole game.

He will be back after halftime

I want to see more of Purvis. He's faster and more explosive than Watson and just about every time he blitzed Saturday he got home and either got a sack or pressure.
