If you look at him as a fifth-year senior who's both a leader and a quarterback, I'd say he's doing a really good job. If you look at him as a first-year starter, he's doing an unbelievable job. I don't know where we would be without him.
I know the BCS games get a lot more attention throughout the bowl season. You usually get a lot more people talking about your game.
I know Ray was hurting bad, ... The trainers were working on him before every (series), basically. But he refused to stay out of the game.
I know that quarterback can run like a deer, that's for sure. Shockley's not quite the runner that he is. Shockley's athletic, but we won't have as many designed quarterback runs for him. A lot of that is because it's really not his nature and the other part is that we wanted to try to keep him healthy this year.
I'm really pleased with what they've done in the clutch. Field position, momentum and points. That's what those guys have meant for us.
I'm pleased and appreciative of the administration extending the contract. I've been very blessed with a great staff and players during the past five years as well as tremendous support from our university and athletic administration, fans and student body.
I'm pleased and appreciative of the administration extending the contract. It says that the university wants us to be at Georgia and this is certainly where my family wants to be.
I'm just not really interested in doing a lot of that. Not to say I wouldn't, but if I did, it would be probably to help a charitable organization, or something like that.
I really believe he's the best one in the league. When you get some wins, it validates the talent you have.
I really am sincere when I say that it's wide-open. We want to keep a completely open mind but be as fair as we can.
Any time I can just be dad is a good time,
Saturday is going to be interesting with South Carolina-Florida and LSU-Alabama playing early in the day, ... Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, I'm sure each team's players will be paying attention to what happens in those games.
It's come a little faster this year than normal. We just recruit real hard and if they're ready to commit, we'll take their commitment. We're real pleased to do that with the guys we've offered.
It's been good enough to make the play-action pass legitimate. We've done some good things. Our backs have done some good things overall. Not many people can line up and run over people down after down. We're more into having good balance.
