awards community excited fantastic football great guys happen happy player respected service shape thrived won
I am very excited about what's going to happen with D.J. Shockley, ... He is a great football player. I'm just happy for him. You know, guys can mope about the situation, or guys can decide, 'I just don't want to be here,' and take off. He didn't do that. Not only did he stay, but he thrived at Georgia. He is in great shape academically, and he has won community service awards for us. He's just a fantastic guy, a great man. He's probably the most respected player we have on the team.

It's a great rivalry. It's a great game. They have an SEC-like stadium and fan base, so that is very much like what we're used to.

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.

We just had to hang on for dear life today. It's not fun to see your boys go down. I also have to give a lot of credit to Arkansas. I tried to tell everyone how fast they were.

ball confident expect gets groove happened hard heck played player simple spray tried until
I've tried to keep it simple for him and just say, 'Protect the ball and relax,' ... I don't expect him not to have pregame jitters or not have a ball spray on him here or there. That's happened to every player I've coached. It's hard to get in a groove until you've played enough plays. I'm confident that once he gets into a groove, he will be a heck of a quarterback for us.

I've seen a guy have an ACL (injury), then on the first day back, he blows it again, ... Then they repair it again and he goes on to 10 years in the NFL. Sometimes they take better than others.

It was very, very competitive, and a lot of great things happened on both sides of the ball. A lot more of what spring ball should look like if we're going to be successful around here.
