STARKVILLE — With a wink and a smile, Sylvester Croom delivered the answer to a reporter's question after Thursday's practice. It just wasn't the answer being sought.

Croom said Wednesday that he'd decide on Michae
l Henig's backup after Thursday's practice. And Croom appears to have made his decision; he's just not telling.
