The defense has to get off the field. They did play hard and were on the field for a long time. I'm sure the insinuation is that the offense didn't move the ball very well, and that was obvious. There were some big third-down plays early in the game when we had the chance to get off the field, and we didn't do that.
More Quotes from Sylvester Croom:
We'd go to the local church in that recruit's town or just stand on the street corner and talk to whoever passes by. Background checks may be fine for some, but I don't plan to hire somebody when we can go out and do the same work ourselves. I'd have a hard time anyway trusting anybody other than my coaches.Sylvester Croom

They were already out there throwing. This time last year it was difficult to get (players) to do that. It signifies a change in attitude and realization that a lot has to be done on their own in order for us to have a chance to be a championship football team.

I don't want a Mississippi State player to play four years for us and not be capable of supporting his family. Twenty years from now, they won't remember the scores. But they'll have kids, they'll have mortgages, they'll have car payments. If they're capable of dealing with that because of what we went through during this time, then it's all worthwhile.

I looked out there in the fourth quarter and there wasn't a single player on the field who had ever played in a college football game before. I'm sure they made some mistakes, but overall they performed well.
