When you're halfway through the year, and you haven't lost yet, I'm sure it's in the back of your mind, but you have to keep it in the back of your mind,
We didn't have many linemen in the program, and he was just physically big enough and strong enough to play as a true freshman. Then the next season he had to start because we lost six seniors.
I've never lost a game for H-O-R-S-E yet at my house,
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.

He is all those things, plus he has the bonus of being able to run. It's exciting for us.

We control our destiny still. That's where you want to be.
You got to give them credit. It takes guts to run that.
