They executed beautifully. I would have enjoyed watching them if I weren't coaching in this game.
The open date is a tremendous advantage. They'll be more rested. They'll be a fresher football team. They'll probably have a better plan than they would have had with a week's notice.
We decided to run that ball and try to live with it. We kept pounding, getting yards after contact, just grinding it out in a real physical way. That's great.
We have rules that must be adhered to by all members of our team. It's sometimes an unpleasant duty of a coach, but discipline is an important part of team unity and ultimately, team success. Hopefully, an important lesson is learned that will be of benefit in the future.
When I'm looking for a quarterback, the first thing I look for is the ability to throw the football. That's something that most people take as a given, but it's something you've got to have. From the film I saw on Matthew, he makes every throw you can ask a guy to make.
We're just trying to get better down there, ... We just need to get more (touchdowns). We're not going to get a touchdown every time, but we need to get a higher percentage of them.
We ran a lot of four wides at Florida State, but we didn't have the tight ends we have at Georgia.
We know what it feels liked to be here and win it, and we know what it feels like to be here and lose it.
We were definitely playing for a return. We didn't think they would do that. Give them a lot of credit. It takes a lot of nerve to do that.
I wasn't as excited about the game after watching film as I was right after the game, ... they'll see things weren't as good as everybody is writing right now.
I'll study everything from spring practice. But I doubt anything is going to change on the depth chart.
I know the BCS games get a lot more attention throughout the bowl season. You usually get a lot more people talking about your game.
I know Ray was hurting bad, ... The trainers were working on him before every (series), basically. But he refused to stay out of the game.
I know that quarterback can run like a deer, that's for sure. Shockley's not quite the runner that he is. Shockley's athletic, but we won't have as many designed quarterback runs for him. A lot of that is because it's really not his nature and the other part is that we wanted to try to keep him healthy this year.
