How will we handle that close ballgame? ... How are we going to handle being down 21 points at halftime to Boise State? Is everybody going to push the panic button, or can we stayed poised ... ?
He was awesome. He was probably more fired up during the game than anyone.
He comes from a top level program and has a lot of experience on the offensive side of the ball.
Greene wasn't at his best physically, but he was at his best in leading us to that last field goal. I was sitting there thinking, 'This is the last game he's going to play in this stadium. Who am I to keep him out?' So I let him go back in.
Guys like D. J. make this business worthwhile.
He has really come on for us. I'm confident he will do a good job.
Mario's going to play and probably play a lot if everything keeps going like it's been. He knows what he's doing. He's catching the ball pretty well.
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.
That's exciting to us to know that there are some national blue-chip players who are interested in Georgia and feel like they can make great things happen here. I think there are certain guys that we signed, certain guys that we got visits from, that we probably never could have gotten five years ago.
That's a great advantage over just showing up when two-a-days begin in the fall. He'll have a good working knowledge of the system. He'll get used to the other players. He'll get used to the college life. He'll be able to work out over the summer with the team and build a good rapport.
Every time you turned around, somebody was out. We were really struggling today just to line up in some of our personnel groupings.
As a coaching staff, we believe we have those players that can step up and play well. I am very excited about what's going to happen with D.J. Shockley. He is a great football player. He is a guy that's going to be a treat for all the Georgia fans.
Their quarterback, from what I could tell, made the right decision almost every time. Even when you get them in your sights and you call the right defense and you get guys in position, you still have to get them down.
