-- Devin Adams "can run the base offense" and Chip Lindsey "has a good plan for him."

-- Malzahn says White's issues "are between me and him."

-- On Stidham's interception vs. Mercer: "It was a boom-boom play... but it's something that I know Chip and Kodi are working through the same type scenarios to be better next time."

-- On avoiding turnovers: "There will be a high attention to detail on the ball security on the offensive side" and on special teams. Says it starts with him as head coach, and turnovers are unacceptable. "Huge emphasis moving forward."

-- On Pettway's durability: "Obviously, we got to take care of our guys."

-- Kerryon Johnson will be back this week.

-- Nick Coe would see more time at defensive tackle with Byron Cowart gone.

-- If Darius James cannot go this weekend, Auburn will likely use similar offensive line it did for majority of Mercer game.

-- Jarrett Stidham corrects his mistakes and "will continue to improve" moving forward.

-- On team overall: "The facts are you're 2-1, and the team you got beat by may be the best team in the country again." Says Auburn has a "very good defense" and offense will "consistely get better" as the year goes on.
