ends florida four ran tight
We ran a lot of four wides at Florida State, but we didn't have the tight ends we have at Georgia.
boys credit dear fast fun hang life tried
We just had to hang on for dear life today. It's not fun to see your boys go down. I also have to give a lot of credit to Arkansas. I tried to tell everyone how fast they were.
duty pulling
We're pulling him off of that duty right now.
bad finger kept pointing stayed
We kept our poise. We stayed united. No finger pointing when bad things happened.
ability above accurate becomes beyond bonus exciting good handle himself job plus pressure run weapon
With Shockley, he becomes a weapon himself with his ability to run above and beyond the basics, ... You've got to be an accurate passer, you've got to be a good decision-maker, you've got to be able to handle the pressure of the job and you've got to be a leader. He is all those things, plus he has the bonus of being able to run. It's exciting for us.
everybody good honor job telling tonight
We didn't really do a good job of telling everybody to keep it hush-hush. We just wanted to honor him tonight and show our support.
eastern happen inventory opportunity win
We have an opportunity this week, if we can find some way to win it, to clinch the Eastern Division. I don't know if that's going to happen or not. We just have to take inventory of who can play right now.
amount basics calling competition count far four full guys learn short speed talented three trying
The only competition that (Stafford) is doing right now is just trying to learn what to do. The other three guys, even four guys when you count (walk-on Nick) Dalton, have a lot better idea of what to do, even on the basics of calling the cadence. He's a talented passer. I think we all know that, and you can tell he's going full speed as far as trying to learn, but there's so much to learn in such a short amount of time.
control national start talking
When you start talking about national implications, we really don't have much control over that at all.
expecting
We're expecting to get him back this season. We just don't know when.
handle jam mostly played press soft state today worry
We feel better about it today than we did going into the game. We still have to see how they do with tighter coverage. Boise State played mostly soft coverage, not much press at all so no one had to worry about getting off a jam or redirecting or that kind of thing. We'll see how they handle a little more pressure.
credit good happen players sweat
When we were down 28-0, I didn't know if anything good was going to happen tonight. But to the credit of our players we made it a battle. We made them sweat a little bit.
beat coach couple defense defensive game guys hat licking ray rest tip willie
We're beat up and fatigued and there are some guys in Gainesville licking their chops. The guys on our defense are flat-out warriors. (Defensive tackle) Ray Gant would not come out of the game and probably should have a couple of times. You have to tip your hat to them and coach Willie Martinez and rest of our defensive coaches.
fall guy hoping learning roll struggling time variable
We're hoping by the time we roll around in the fall we could take that variable of 'How much does a guy really know?' out of it. If he is struggling with the learning of it, he is probably not going to play. If he understands it, now it is more of a competition.
