Nobody looked us as a good group of linebackers, |
Not a bad debut, |
Not a bad debut, ... Not a bad day. |
Now we got to take care of business. |
Sometimes you need this. It's tough, but now we can stop talking about 13-0 and start talking about being this 0-1 Tiger team and what we're going to do about it. |
The next year, we had gone through all that and understood how to approach game after game. We had to focus on that game. We know what it takes to win — hard work and dedication. Hopefully, we can keep it rolling. We are the (SEC) champions until somebody knocks us off. |
The question has been thrown up a lot. People have been hounding me. There is no doubt I'm coming back. I have no intention of leaving school. |
There were like 20 TV cameras there, and the whole school was packed into the little gym. There were a bunch of people from the community -- it was crazy in there. It was like I was about to get drafted. The only difference leading up to that was, I knew where I was going to play, even if no one else did. This time, people ask me where I'm gonna go, and I honestly have no idea. |
There's still a little discomfort, but it's football. You're not going to go into every game feeling healthy. I definitely understand that. But overall, it actually did a lot better than I thought it was going to do today. |
To me, this is just the third week. I'm in this thing for the long haul. I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of my career. I know three games would not make that, therefore it really hasn't sunk in yet. |
We have a target on our backs now. The way we looked at (defending national champion) LSU last year — we went out to prove to them we were good enough to beat them — now, game one against Georgia Tech, they're going to look at us with a target on our backs. Coaches will have their teams hyped to beat us. We have to work harder than they do to be prepared. |
We learned a lot from (2003), |
Well, I think that hes, as opposed to last year, we didnt really look to run the ball first. We were really a passing team and I think that were getting more and more balanced now. Im not positive what our run-to-pass ratio is right now, but Im pretty sure its more run than it is pass. So, it gives us an ability to be more balanced, which is important. |
You know us ballplayers. We always feel like we can do just about anything. You've got to have that confidence playing this game that we play. |
