FORT WORTH, Teas — Mississippi State head football coach Mike Leach met with the media following Thursday’s 28-26 win over No. 22 Tulsa in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl.
Leach first talked about MSU’s ability to close out the game.
“It was very good that we were able to hold on and close it out. It was a very nasty day out there with swirling rain all over the place. It was tough for everyone to get into a rhythm,” Leach said. “It was going to take persistence to win this game and I was proud of our young group and the persistence they showed.
