College Football: Rounding up the weekly press conferences (color coded)

Northwestern State head coach Bradley Dale Peveto

• Peveto expressed concern about slowing down Karrington Bush and Dexter Imade. Since both didn't play the last time the Demons and Texas State met, Peveto said he is doing extra leg work in compiling game film.
• Peveto said his team desperately needed its recent bye week to recover from bumps and bruises suffered in its win against Central Arkansas and to get some extra time in the classroom because of midterm exams.
• Peveto had nothing but positive things to say about Texas State true freshman QB Tyler Arndt, redshirt freshman NG Prestin Brown and the Bobcats' return game.

Texas State head coach Brad Wright

• Wright said his team needs to get back to the basics and focus on playing disciplined football once again.
• Wright said special teams are the biggest concern right now but there haven't been any discussions as to replacing sophomore kicker Justin Garelick. Said Wright, "He's the best one we've got."
• Wright and Garelick are split on why he has struggled but both believe it's something to do with his mechanics.

Texas State defensive coordinator Fred Bleil

• Bleil said his defense played well last Saturday minus the final two minutes of regulation and all four overtimes.
• Bleil said he doesn't know what's gone wrong with the goal-line defense but there will be some changes to the defensive front this week. Texas State has allowed opponents to score 81 percent of their possessions inside the red zone.
• Bleil said he was a bit timid to call blitzes last Saturday because of how bad the Bobcats were burned against Southeastern Louisiana.
