Today was my favorite weekly presser ever to host. Guys like Will Parks & Gerhard de Beer are what the student-athlete experience is about.

Nothing major in the presser. Denson hasn't played as much because he is banged up. No changes on status of Scooby and company.
— Jason Scheer (@JasonScheer) November 9, 2015
Thankfully nobody asked Rich Rod about coaching rumors during today's presser. No need. Let it play out when it has to.

Rich Rod: "Across the 50 I hate to give up possession of the ball. I want to go for it (fourth down). I like to be aggressive."
— Javier Morales (@JavierJMorales) November 9, 2015
Rodriguez on going for it on fourth down late in the game "I like to be aggressive… analysts can be critical and they get paid to do it."
