Mike Leach discusses week ahead in weekly press conference

STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mississippi State head football coach Mike Leach held his weekly press conference on Monday to discuss this week’s preparations for MSU’s homecoming matchup against the Vanderbilt Commodores at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday.

Graduate transfer quarterback K.J. Costello left Saturday’s contest against No. 2 Alabama after taking a knee to the head. Per usual, Leach didn’t provide any update on his injury status.

“No update,” Leach said. “We’ll monitor it through the week.”

Leach said the chances of freshman quarterback Will Rogers playing this week are 50-50, and that’s what the chances were last weekend, too.
