Recap

Ole Miss Head Coach Andy Kennedy

 On the game…

“We did some good things.  Coming into the exhibition game, I was trying to get some guys some minutes.  AJ (Aaron Jones) hadn’t played since last February.  I thought it was great that Demarco (Cox) played; he got better as the game went along.  It was good to get the new guys into a flow and get those jitters out before it counts for real.  I wasn’t pleased with our offensive execution, but I thought we guarded pretty well.  We didn’t want to show a lot offensively, but I wanted some of the upperclassmen to make plays.”

 On Martavious Newby

“It’s all hustle.  He’s playing harder and being where he is supposed to be.  He has great desire, and that is why he’s starting; he’s earned his way into the starting lineup because of the things he’s doing in those effort areas.”

 On leadership

“It really comes down to Snoop (LaDarius White), Jarvis (Summers), and Derrick (Millinghaus) with Marshall out.  They were the guys in the hard games last year and had success.  We are dependent on those guys to lead us.  For Derrick and Snoop, it’s a totally new environment for them, and they weren’t as aggressive as I hoped they would have been.”
