changes facing
We didn't make any big changes or anything like that because we were facing this high-powered offense. For us, it was about doing what we do and doing it well.
We just need to do what we have been doing.

I spend my spare time watching film. That's a fair statement.

The win is behind us. Our focus is all the way on Ole Miss.

I wanted to come, because it's always been a big thing here in Alabama. Getting invited, you just represent Alabama. Being younger, watching the game, you're always looking for the guys with the Alabama helmet on. It's special.

We didn't think he was that fast. He's pretty quick but we were ready for it. We were prepared for everything they did.

We knew who was going to get the ball. We knew exactly where they were going. We saw it over and over on film. Freddie stepped up and made a great hit that finished him off.
hit knew thinking
I wasn't thinking they were going to score. I knew one of our safeties was going to come in and hit him. I didn't think they were going to score.

I have no clue. I'm just sitting back and waiting for it all to happen. Wherever it is, it'll all be good. I look at it as nothing can go wrong on draft day. Everything's going to work out well.

I'm not trying to catch it from the start. I'll just be in and out checking it out. I'll be eating and talking and having a good time.
bowls matter next season week
It really doesn't matter right now, because the bowls aren't next week and they're not this week. The season isn't over yet, so being 3 or 4 isn't a big deal.
supposed
It's like we're just one big family, and that's how it's supposed to be.

I was just happy to hear my phone ring. It was a great feeling. It's exciting to be part of an up-and-coming team, a new team. The Texans have a lot of upside to them.
defense keeps saying special spread stop
It's nothing special. Everyone keeps saying that it's a special offense. They're a five-wide spread offense. We've just got to come up with a defense to stop it.
