Here is a recap of some of the topics that were discussed.
Going to West Virginia. It's a big game and a big game atmosphere.
DeAngelo Smith said that this is a"historic game" for the school. Coach Kelly said that games like the one at Oklahoma help prepare the team for games like this.
Early season losses by West Virginia.
Coach Kelly addresses why he thinks the Mountaineers lost two games back in September. At East Carolina 24-3 then at Colorado 17-14 (OT).
Dustin Grutza back on the field.
Senior QB Dustin Grutza is back on the practice field. Today Coach Kelly will determine if he will be the #2 quarterback this week or #3. Pike will start, but Grutza could be in a position to start next week against Louisville if the circumstances dictated.
Tony Pike almost 100%.
Coming off of a tremendous outing last Thursday night against USF Tony Pike is down to just a soft wrap on his left forearm. The hard cast is gone, however direct snaps are still not in the cards. Coach Kelly is looking forward to the day when he has a choice between Pike and Grutza.
Being on the Hot List.
With big time head coaching jobs opening up across the country Brian Kelly's name is being brought up the media already. At today's press conference he was asked about being on the "hot list" and joked that it's better than being on the list of guys that got fired. As expected he can't address this topic because it's so early in the process to know who's on what list. Here is his banter with the reporters on the subject. His focus is clearly on his current team and their trip to West Virginia.
