It seemed like we were playing catchup (the whole game). We were out of it early in the third quarter. We thought we could change something up with Antonio in there but he had a tough time communicating the plays.

The time I went there, they weren't near the team they are now, ... A different environment, completely different. A different team. A different head coach. The fans, probably their enthusiasm is about 10 times greater than it was that day.

Their styles are very similar, ... He's learned a lot, he has a wonderful attitude and has tried to learn as much as he can. For a first-year quarterback in a brand new offense, he had a good night the other night.

There's not too much to say. Alabama thoroughly beat us. They are a better team. They were coached better, they played better, and they looked like they will have a big season. They have a heck of a team.

Certainly that Georgia job is one of the best in the country.

I don't take any particular shot at Georgia, but the poor-mouthing is getting old every year. I don't blame Ray for doing it because he learned under the best in Vince Dooley. And the thing is, it usually worked.

To finish second in the SEC East is a wonderful season for our team. Obviously, we were not picked that high. To qualify for a bowl game, that was our big goal for our team. We felt it was achievable and realistic and our guys went out and won seven games to go to the bowl game.

It's not going to be that easy the rest of the season, ... Blake has to play extremely well for us to have a chance (against Georgia).

We have some building to do. If you're not controlling the line of scrimmage, it's going to be tough. You have to at least break even along the line and obviously we're not doing that.
