Key quotes from Jackie Sherrill interview

"Larry Kelm was an outstanding person, player and teammate. You never saw Larry without a smile on his face, without helping his teammates. He was the one that was able to make reasoning for a lot of players when they got angry with each other."

"The LSU defense has really improved over the year, offensively they aren't as productive. They tried to do a lot of things early on with their quarterback offensively and they've kind of ditched that the last five games and gone back to the running game. Anytime they have a running back over 100 yards they usually win."

"The way this season has gone, A&M probably needs this one to validate they are there, both for recruiting and national media."

"LSU is the only team that Kevin has not beaten, so that is important for this game. Maybe the Thursday night game at Kyle Field will be the change."

"The quarterback has to play well, their defense is really good. They're only giving up 313 yards and 16 points a game. Their rushing defense is giving up 149 but what is really amazing is that their pass defense is only allowing 164 yards. Kyle has to play well."

"Mississippi State has to look good. Control of the game is a big deal with the committee. Nobody really know which stats they use but they accumulate stats and one of them is strength of schedule and another is control of the game. Will the committee have Alabama and Mississippi State play? If that happens, two of the top five conferences don't go. I've always felt that if the BIG 10 or the PAC 12 don't get in, we'll go to eight teams next year."

Gig em Jackie! I remember seeing him on campus back in the day. He was always quick with a "howdy".

Thanks Gabe and Jackie.

Pretty much what we know already though. Bottlom line: we have to play well in the trenches tonight.

Will we rise to the challenge? I sure hope so.
