Mike Leach Answers Questions Following Loss to Kentucky

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Head football coach Mike Leach held a press conference following Saturday’s 24-2 loss to the Kentucky Wildcats.

Leach said he will have to evaluate the roster and possibly “purge” some players who don’t fit with the plan after Saturday’s loss.

“We’re going to have to check some of our group and figure out who really wants to play here,” Leach said. “Because any malcontents, we’re going to have to purge a couple of those.”

The Mississippi State offense compiled 275 yards passing and 20 yards rushing for a total of 295 yards on 84 plays, which is 3 12 yards per play.
