STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mississippi State head football coach Mike Leach held his weekly press conference on Monday afternoon to preview this week’s game in Lexington, Kentucky, against the Kentucky Wildcats, where he spent two seasons as offensive coordinator in 1997 and 1998.
Senior running back Kylin Hill was knocked out of Saturday’s game and freshman quarterback Will Rogers has been dealing with an injury all season, but Leach believes both Hill and Rogers will be available for this week’s contest.
To counter Mississippi State’s Air Raid offense, Arkansas played mostly zone coverage with eight guys dropping back into coverage.
