We had a Red Cross lady come up to us and talk about what a great thing it was that we were there. It really made me think that we were only there for 45 minutes signing things and passing out shirts and this lady is going to be there 24 hours a day for the next three weeks probably. And she is talking about what a great thing it is we are doing?

I never really thought about all those events at one time like that. We have experienced a lot of things. I guess that's what makes a career.

I always said my favorite position was the one I was playing at the moment, but this has definitely been the longest stretch I've been at one position. It's definitely more enjoyable when you kind of get in a groove and get used to the situation that you're playing in. And I think I'm playing better at it.

There's nothing like playing a home game, especially a home SEC ballgame. Plus, it's our first home game after everything we've been through.

It's kinda weird. Some teams have already played three games, and we've only played one. Finally, we're getting ready to play at home in front of our fans, our stadium and our atmosphere.

After everything everybody has been through, people are dying for a return to normalcy. In the midst of chaos, one thing people can count on in the fall is football, and they haven't had that.
