BRYAN HARSIN

— Opens saying that the team played hard. Credits Ole Miss for running the ball well and playing physical.

— “Overall… we fought today. I saw some really positive things from a lot of our players.”

— Pleased with the run game, especially Tank Bigsby and Jarquez Hunter’s efforts.

— Turnovers again a factor.

— “These guys, they’re fighting.”

— Message: “We’re not there yet.” Feels team is improving, but needs to take that next step to get over the hump.

— On the improved run game: “I thought the line, it looked like — we didn’t have many negative plays.” Also notes they had some explosive runs today, too. Line didn’t give up as much penetration, and it allowed the backs to get going.

— On Robby Ashford’s response after being replace by T.J. Finley for a drive: “As a quarterback, that’s how you should handle it…. He did a good job.”

— On the run defense today, says Ole Miss schemed it up well, formation-wise. “They were running hard. Their backs ran hard.” Also believes Jaxson Dart’s ability to pull it and make some plays really opened up the inside zone for Ole Miss.

— “We had big runs; they had some big runs as well… They had 450 yards rushing. That’s a big game.”

— On Jeremiah Wright’s start at left guard: “The plays that I watched, he did well.”

— Says he obviously didn’t agree with the fourth-down pass interference call against Auburn in the first half. Ole Miss went on to score a touchdown on that drive. “I’m not changing (the call), at the end of the day… What I saw was our guy playing with good technique, playing hard.”

— On his biggest takeaway 20 games into his Auburn tenure, with a 9-11 record: “These guys fight…. They want to win. They all want to win… It’s how we do it. It’s all the things we have to do to be winners leading into a game. That’s all it comes down to.” Adds that they’re trying to close the gap and find a winning formula, noting “it’s hard to win” in this league.

— On whether he has received assurance that he will finish the season: “Like I’ve said before…. my job is to help this football team improve, win and get better.” Says, no question, he and his staff will continue working to get this team better.

— On Ole Miss’ onside kick: “Flat out, they got us on that…. We didn’t play it well enough.”
