We're going to taper down a bit. Make sure everyone has fresh legs. It's going to be all positive and encouraging. We're going to need everybody at state. We feel like this team can do it. We're just inches away.

When everyone is working in their studios you don't really see what they are working on. So it's nice to see everything come together like this.
beam best bumped finals finished julie last season similar solid vault year
Julie finished similar to how she did last year at the championships, where she was bumped from the finals at the end. She's just been solid for us on beam all season long and I thought her vault was the best vault she's ever done.

ahead alabama although bars beam best defeat girls happy looking needed next performance pleased vault
We are very pleased with tonight's performance. Although vault and bars weren't the best we've done this season, I was very happy with the way they rebounded on beam and floor. I think the girls may have been looking ahead to next week's rematch with Alabama and not really concentrating on the performances needed to defeat Illinois-Chicago.

against approach competing harder last matter routines weekend
It's the same as last weekend and the weekend before. It doesn't matter who we're competing against because our routines are the same. That's the approach I want them to take. It shouldn't feel harder because it's Georgia. It's the same routine they do every day in the gym.
beat georgia team
They've been so solid, I don't think we'll faze them. This is one of those years where the only team that can beat Georgia is Georgia themselves. But man, wouldn't it be fun.
