Jimbo should be starting around 1 p.m. Will have updates here.
Jimbo wrapping up Miami game. Loved the way the kids grew up in the game and how they competed. Still room for improvement, but very happy with the way the team played.
Jimbo praising Everett and the running game, and also the defense playing without some key guys. He thinks this team is developing its own personality, and he likes it.
Going through the Louisville lineup now ... says they are tough because on offense they can run their QB but also throw it. Crediting Petrino. Says they have a ton of talent on defense. They have three losses, but to good competition.
Fisher praising the WRs for blocking ... Ermon Lane, Bobo Wilson, others. Said they really grew up in that area.
Jimbo raving about Golson's third-and-8 pass to Bobo. Said the team really grew up on that play, particularly Golson and Wilson. Golson had to see that play developing and trust himself to get it in a tight window ... and trust Bobo to be there.
Jimbo praising Golson's decision-making. Even after big plays, he came back and took check downs. Says that shows his maturity.
On the third-down defense ... Jimbo said Stacy Coley presented challenges because he hadn't been playing, and they did a good job of moving him around. Losing Trey Marshall didn't help ... but Jimbo said that's not an excuse.
On Terrance Smith's ankle ... said swelling is better but still wait and see. Dalvin and Nate are sore but no major setbacks from playing.
Said Dalvin and Nate and other guys playing though pain is big for younger players. Sets standard of how important the team is ... sends strong message about the importance of team.
On the passing game, Jimbo said they opened things up because Everett is growing comfortable in the offense, the pass protection is better, the WRs and TEs are improving. Said it all has kind of come together with maturity.
Jimbo talking about Louisville's Rankins. Said he's very hard to block. Rare amount of power and quickness.
Fisher said the challenge for this team will be moving past Miami game. Have to put that behind them. Next game is the biggest game.
When talking about Dalvin, said it's more than just his ability. It's his intangibles, intelligence, change of speed ... but not ready to say he's best ever coached.
DeMarcus Walker was the player of the week on defense.
Asked about the defense overall, he says they're "much improved" but plenty of room to grow. Pleased but not satisfied.
On why he hasn't let Golson talk to the media, Jimbo said it's not an indictment of him or the media, he just thinks it's best to eliminate the clutter and keep him away from interviews.
On Louisville, he said they do not look like a 3-loss team. Says they are a very talented team with lots of NFL prospects.
On Mavety, Fisher said he played well ... over-reached some things, but played well, especially switching to left guard with Are out.
On the news that Will Grier is out for the year, said he hates to hear that. Said he always reminds players to not take anything -- even from a GNC store -- without getting it approved. Said it's a shame because Grier was playing so well.
And that's about it. Will have video soon and more coverage later.
