Cameron [Smith] struggled a bit, but they've got a real good defense. |
Cameron made a few plays where there wasn't anything, and once again, our offensive line did a great job of getting a hat on everybody. He's a special player, but he's got a great supporting cast, too. |
He seems to be a pretty good athlete. He's been playing on our scout team defense and is doing a good job. He sort of worked his way onto special teams. |
I think we played as well on defense as we've played maybe in a year or two. [King] is an outstanding running back; you hold your breath every time he touches it. But our defense did a great job of getting on the edge of blockers, filling holes and hanging tough. When you don't give him places to run, it's hard to gain a lot of yards. |
In hindsight, there [were] a couple times during the course of [last] season we might should have tried David at quarterback. But that is a difficult trigger to pull sometimes. |
On first down, we almost kind of creased that run, so we decided to just run it again to see if he could crease it, and he did. That one play kind of changed the course of the game. |
Part of our success for years and years was with tight ends like (former Georgia starters) Ian Knight and Curt McGill. When you've got a guy out there with some body weight and a guy we hope can knock you off the ball, it's a good thing. He's doing a good job. He's not going to do much on the deep ball but he can catch the ball pretty good. |
We talk all the time about playing well in all three phases of the game. |
We're right where we want to be. We've got a big game next week, and we've got to get ready to slam the door and take control of this region. |
