In the past, we haven't had anything to build momentum off of. Finally, next year, they've got that. |
It has been tough from the first day we got here. But what we're trying to do for the young guys is to show them what it was like when we got here, what the level of expectations was like. |
It is early. It's an excuse. We have to prepare better. |
It was awesome. I guess it kind of fits our situation. |
It was great to see us coming out and playing to our potential. This is for the young guys. It's a springboard for them, a 9-3 year. It brings the program back to the level it was when we came in. |
It would be more painful [to watch] if we lost. It's still going to be painful. |
It would have been awesome to look back and say I won SEC championships, and I won all those rings, but you're not going to have that stuff. You have to remember the times with your friends, joking around in the locker room -- the good times and the bad times. Hopefully, you remember the good times. |
My back was all torn up. I don't think I even practiced until Thursday. That was the closest. It wasn't much of a streak then. It was only three or four games then. |
No. I think I owe it to myself, my family and my teammates to play. Like everybody can say, I definitely earned my scholarship. |
Our quarterback position is going to take a lot of criticism, but Chris has been our guy. He has never backed down and he's done a great job. |
The feeling in the locker room is they are unbeatable now. |
The future is really bright. Any time there is a coaching change, it takes a little bit until the wheels start rolling. You kind of feel the momentum in the locker room now. |
The talent's there. And the togetherness is getting there. If you start putting all the wheels in motion and all pieces together, it's a pretty good-looking puzzle. |
The things Vernell Brown has done this year are special. He's really turned it on and is having a great senior year. I'm jealous of the senior year he's had. He's one of the smallest guys on the team and he is one of the strongest. |
There's part of me that would always like it to be better. But I feel comfortable with what those guys are able to do next year. |
