Usually when the opposing team does well, the crowd quiets down. All I began to hear was a chant 'L-S-U, L-S-U.' It got louder and louder and louder. It was the loudest I've ever heard a stadium.
It's no fun to lose, ... We haven't lost in a while and now we get to remember what it feels like. Everybody wants to be undefeated and that's what we wanted. There are no excuses.
Winning 9 games is very respectable.
I'm trying to decide whether to be happy or sad. We have to be better than this or we will struggle.
The Energy Bus serves as a force field to ward off any negativity that tries to infiltrate or enter your team or business. It made a big impact on our team. I recommend it highly!
The only thing that helps you win the game is preparation and getting your mind ready to go to battle. That's what you've got to do.
So what am I willing to do? Do my work heartily, unto the Lord. There is no higher accountability in life than to do something for God. So that's kind of how I operate.
I feel better about the defense overall today. I was getting a little concerned that things were getting a little too evenly matched. I think the defense ought to be a little ahead at this point, and the last couple times we've practiced it really hadn't been that way. But the defense really stepped it up.
I don't think we compare quite to the accomplishments they had. That was definitely the greatest four-year period in Georgia history. ... We can't match the three SEC championships and the national championship.
He's never really been in this type of game before where he was the starter and where he really had to fight the adverse conditions. He handled it like a champion. He did not flinch.
He's got as strong of an arm as anybody I've coached,
He probably could have made it from 60-whatever. It looked like it had ten more yards on it. It was a heck of a kick.
If he'd had a few more balls caught throughout the year, who knows what kind of year he could have had.
If he really wanted the hype, he would've waited till the last day to decide what to do. I don't think there would've been any doubt that he would've been named quarterback of the world.
