Wagner Preview

Kiffin's Korner

"We have to continue to improve. Our goal is always to win the conference, every year. If you are going to do that, like we did one of the two years, you have to improve before you get into conference play, whether that is individually – players within their game or whether that's backups being able to play more. We have really emphasized that a lot this week. Our defensive emphasis has been tackling. We want to win the game, No. 1, but we want to see improvements in certain areas so that we don't keep putting deficiencies on film, because that is how you lose games. Good teams don't do that and really good teams prepare every week the same."
