changes facing
We didn't make any big changes or anything like that because we were facing this high-powered offense. For us, it was about doing what we do and doing it well.
change everybody few knew looking messed momentum next nobody performed plays stand
We knew we had to stand up. A few years ago, I don't think we could've performed the way we did out there today. Nobody was looking back at the plays they messed up on. Everybody was looking ahead, looking to make that next play that would change the momentum of the game.
changes defense facing
For us on defense, we just had to do what we had been doing all year. We didn't have to a make any big changes or anything like that just because we were facing a high-powered offense.
change focused game threat
He's a big threat to us, because he can change the game in a heartbeat. He's a real game-changer so we really have to be focused on him.
easier fly knowing knows partners plays
Everyone knows what to do now. It's easier to fly around and make plays knowing your partners are right there at your back.
draft sitting waiting wherever work wrong
I have no clue. I'm just sitting back and waiting for it all to happen. Wherever it is, it'll all be good. I look at it as nothing can go wrong on draft day. Everything's going to work out well.
catch checking eating good talking trying
I'm not trying to catch it from the start. I'll just be in and out checking it out. I'll be eating and talking and having a good time.
We just need to do what we have been doing.
alabama football forgotten people respect tradition university winning
We're going out to win, just to put Alabama back on top. To get our respect back at the University of Alabama. I think a lot of people have forgotten about Alabama football and the winning tradition we have here. A win would just put us back on top.

I spend my spare time watching film. That's a fair statement.

The win is behind us. Our focus is all the way on Ole Miss.
alabama guys helmet looking represent watching
I wanted to come, because it's always been a big thing here in Alabama. Getting invited, you just represent Alabama. Being younger, watching the game, you're always looking for the guys with the Alabama helmet on. It's special.
supposed
It's like we're just one big family, and that's how it's supposed to be.
bowls matter next season week
It really doesn't matter right now, because the bowls aren't next week and they're not this week. The season isn't over yet, so being 3 or 4 isn't a big deal.
