The speed in a real game is a lot faster than it is in practice. We've got one of the best defenses we can go against in practice, but the speed is still a little faster come game time. I've got that experience now and I can take that to next week and use that.

I got to the point where I was just aggravated. I wasn't able to practice. I was here to play football and I didn't have the energy to do it. The best thing for me was to go home and get better.

To have that first drive end like it did is disappointing. I take the blame. I shouldn't have made that throw. But we hung in there and recovered.

Before, anyone could make an argument that could vote down an amendment.

We'll spend the night Friday night in the (Montgomery) hotel and we'll fly out. It'll only be like an hour flight. It's like a bus ride. It'll be different but it will be similar to the (usual) routine.

Just from learning [by] what Jason went through, I know it doesn't matter who you are, you're going to have criticism. I expect that. I know it's going to come. I just have to block it out and overcome it and just go out there and prove what I can do.

We've got some experience at receiver. They've done a great job this year making big plays for us. Me, as a first-year quarterback, it's big having those guys to be able to throw to and make big plays.

I've learned from those mistakes, so we're going to put that game behind us and focus on Mississippi State.

Once I get that first snap out of the way and that first completion, I'll be fine after that. You just get into a zone and you don't even realize there's 90,000 people watching.

We're not getting rich by any means, we're surviving and we're healing, ... and we're just tryin' to make a buck.

They picked something very politically charged, ... But it was somewhat disingenuous because the general plan has nothing to do with property tax.

Years ago it was a really good way of making a living, and we're finally trying to correct that as an industry to get the cost back up (for wages).

Brent was really solid for us.

Kirby had two injured ankles, so he couldn't plant and shoot.

[Johnson has 13 goals and four assists this season.] Kirby has excellent ball-control skills, ... He's very explosive with his ability to spin away, getting clear of defenders and going one-on-one with goaltenders. And if Kirby is going one-on-one with a goalie, the goalie is usually going to lose the point.

I'm 100 percent better. It would have been nice to go out there and have a little fun, but Blake came in and did a great job.

We haven't got hit as hard as the rest of the nation.

We put tremendous pressure on their net. We just couldn't get the finish on any shots but one.
