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.
certain exciting five georgia gotten great guys happen interested national players visits
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.
beat fight fighting five four full good improve last proven
I think we'll keep our poise. I think we'll fight hard. I think that'll happen. Are we good enough to beat Tennessee? That I don't know. We'll have to improve in all areas, but when it comes to fighting a full 60 minutes, I think we've proven over the last four or five years we'll do that.
five game job maybe minutes people players running slow throwing
I would say you're running it up if you've got your first-team players in the game with five minutes to go and you're up by 40. If you're still throwing bombs, maybe that's running it up. I think it's the defense's job to slow people down anyway.
five games good last played pressure seen six special
I don't think we've seen him as good as he can play, and he played really good the last five or six games last year. I don't want to put any pressure on him, but he's a special guy.

I'm sure that's all being considered. I'm sure that's all being talked about.
behavioral cannot conduct issues limited penalties players playing themselves time valuable
I'm very disappointed and penalties for behavioral issues are going to be severe. Playing time is valuable to all players and it will be very limited to those who cannot conduct themselves in an appropriate manner.
attention bowl games people talking throughout
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.
hurting ray refused stay
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.
designed healthy nature quite run runner runs
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.
field guys meant momentum pleased
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.
knows name
Everyone knows his name now, but no one knows the blockers,
bunch david guys knew nice playing together
Everyone knew who David Pollack was, David Greene was. National-name guys. I don't know if we have a headliner on our team. We have a bunch of guys who are playing real hard, and together we've done a nice job.
darned environment hostile start
It was his first start in a hostile environment, and he did pretty darned good.
