Biloxi (Miss.) Sun Herald Burns said he was disappointed, but woke up today still eager to be part of the team . . . "Kodi is a competitor. He's concerned and I'm glad . . . For now, Todd has claimed the No. 1 spot going into the Southeastern Conference opener against Mississippi State in a contest that had carried over from the spring . . .
