- QB/OL: On the surface I dont get a good feeling about this one, but then again I never have a good feeling.

- QB/OL: No offense to all of our skill players, but we have to majorly upgrade at running back and receiver next year to help Jared Curtis be the best QB possible I don’t think I...

- OL: If I’m barton, I’m sending JC highlights to all of the top transfer WRs and OL immediately!

- OL: They said in broadcast that it’s a standard provision in the contract — visiting team from out of conference gets to use officials from their conference.

- OL/LB: Glass half empty: Defense looks bad at times, tackling has been inconsistent, receivers have been inconsistent, offensive line constantly penalized, gaps aren't being consistently opened for running backs.

- Pick/market: The OL was a comedy of errors.

- QB/OL: Vandy +9.5 which is a little higher than I thought to be honest.

- OL: If you are taking questions: at this point do you just pretty much “abandon” the power run game and utilize the same offense that we did the back half of last season since Curtis...

- Clark Lea said Vanderbilt used a field-goal-block call on NC State's final snap and told the edge players to take direct paths toward the pocket. He expected an intentional safety and wanted time for a play after the free kick; instead, Miles Capers forced the fumble Cayden Daniels recovered for a touchdown. That expectation was Lea's reading of the situation, not confirmation of NC State's actual call. - Lea credited Jared Curtis' checks, hot throws and downfield connections in his first start, but cautioned against defining Vanderbilt's offensive identity from a game spent chasing a 17-point deficit. He wanted to clean up penalties, reestablish the inside run and build around Curtis' strengths, not permanently replace the running game with a pass-first offense. - Vanderbilt finished with 13 penalties for 116 yards against NC State. On the holding problems, Lea emphasized moving feet, covering defenders and fixing technique after reviewing film; he thought Curtis generally stayed disciplined between the tackles rather than escaping into edge restrictions. Lea did not announce replacement linemen or blame all the holds on quarterback movement. - Lea said Martell was brought inside for concussion checks, responded well and returned to finish the NC State game. His description confirmed the evaluation and return that day, not a diagnosed concussion, a recovery timetable or next-game availability. The supplied remarks do not justify expanding the injury beyond that account. - Lea faulted Vanderbilt for allowing three explosive touchdowns but praised the defense's late inside-out run wall against NC State's shotgun quarterback push plays. Getting the runner down and preventing a conversion preserved the final opportunity; he highlighted the need to end those plays quickly because each additional second reduced Vanderbilt's chances.
