I had trouble picking up the signal tonight. Just came in for me so I missed the first 30 minutes or so.
Wilson gets asked about the secondary and he says it is the most talented group since he's been at IU.
Wilson said he is a head coach with an offensive background and not "an offensive coach".
Wilson talking about how good WKU QB Brandon Doughty is. Said he is one of the top QBs in the nation.
Wilson said that with WKU you still have to stop the run. He said even with Allen out they still have some good backs. He said the guy replacing Allen is a good one.
Audience member asks Wilson about the lack of experience in the secondary and what positions they played in HS. Wilson said the two starting corners played QB and RB in HS Andre Brown was the QB and they recruited him to play a DB Wilson said. Williams is the RB that they recruited to play RB with the thought he could play DB according to Wilson.
Wilson is asked how they teach one-on-one tackling in the open field. He said there are drills that they picked up from the Seahawks that they use. They use certain type of bags that helps with that. Wilson said open field tackling has gotten poor across college football over the last 10 years. He said all coaches are trying to find ways to improve it.
Wilson is asked what his pregame meal is and he said black-eyed peas are always a part of that because he ate those growing up. Wilson said he tries not to eat too much before games.
He said the game time determines when they eat and how many times they eat so that they have enough energy for the game. Wilson says the players eat Swedish Fish at halftime. He said Wednesday is the key night for sleep and not Friday night.
Wilson is asked about the DL against FIU and he said they were much improved. He said they need to play well this week. He is also asked about Mike Barwick and Wilson said he has been banged up and he is a little behind. He said Barwick and Meminger are doing well.
Fischer asks about rotation at RB and if they are pleased about the RB position. Wilson said Ricky Brookins is the 3rd guy right now but he said Alex Rodriguez and Andrew Wilson are right there. He said they are also practicing Mike Majette at RB along with Marqui Hawkins.
Wilson said the WKU passing game is very good, especially the last 7 games on their winning streak, Wilson said Doughty is a great kid that is tough who has overcome some injuries. He thinks he will be a better pro because he has developed well. He said they are well coached. He said the WRs are good and the run game will be a problem. He said the WKU D.C. coached at USC and at Washington. He said theie recruiting has been good and Coach Brohm is a very good coach. He said this team is comparable to a Big Ten team. He said it will be a tremendous challenge for his team.
That's it for tonight.
