Without a doubt, he was our player of the game.
I'll study everything from spring practice. But I doubt anything is going to change on the depth chart.
A lot of people doubted his ability to handle the academic rigors at our school. He's proven he can do that and be a fantastic All-American football player and be a fantastic citizen. He's got a heart for young people. He wants to give back. He's just a great credit to this program and our university.
There's no doubt Joe T is the No. 1 guy going in. He's got a lot of things going for him.
If he really wanted the hype, he would've waited till the last day to decide what to do. I don't think there would've been any doubt that he would've been named quarterback of the world.
There are a couple key offensive tackles I would love to have at this point.
When D.J. first got hurt, it was sad. We didn't know how bad, he didn't know how bad it was. We were thinking his career at Georgia could be over right then and there. That would have been awful. We would have tried to sugarcoat it as best we could, but it would have been sad for him and for us.
We kept our poise. We stayed united. No finger pointing when bad things happened.
We thought by now T.J. would be practicing.
We're pulling him off of that duty right now.
We had a better dress rehearsal today, less mistakes (than Wednesday) ... I feel like we're prepared as good as we can be at this point.
This week will be tough on him. One of reasons you come to Georgia is to play in this game.
With Shockley, he becomes a weapon himself with his ability to run above and beyond the basics, ... You've got to be an accurate passer, you've got to be a good decision-maker, you've got to be able to handle the pressure of the job and you've got to be a leader. He is all those things, plus he has the bonus of being able to run. It's exciting for us.
We certainly found some kinks in our armor tonight. It was a typical Southeastern Conference game and a typical Georgia-South Carolina game.
