On away games…
“Man, it is a crazy feeling. I want to say every away game and we haven’t had that many away games this season but the away games this season we have had have felt like home games. You just see so much red and black in the crowd. It just makes you feel comfortable out there, regardless of where we are playing at.”
 
On the Georgia Tech rivalry…
“This game, they have a really good quarterback so we have to be equip for that. Just that old fashioned hate, we are going to their place and it should be a good game. We haven’t done too much yet. Today we are really going to start diagnosing them so there isn’t too much I can speak on right now.”
 
On the chance to go 12-0…
“During our summer workouts I could just tell it was going to be different. We had Skull sessions where we became closer and we talked about just knowing our ‘why.’ Not just going out there and playing and playing for this or playing for that. Now we are playing for his mother or his family or his situation. From there our workouts have just been 10 times harder than they have been in the past. So I just knew this year was going to be special just based off of that.
 

On Brett Siether’s touchdown…
“Especially for the young guys…well he’s not a young guy but sitting behind Darnell (Washington) and all of them and just being able to see him get his chance. Seeing him be able to make his first touchdown was a cool deal.”

On Nakobe Dean being named as a finalist for the Butkus Award…
“Nakobe is a great linebacker, we do have some great linebackers. Just the way he carries himself in practice, he works hard, and he works hard in the weight room. He is deserving of it.”

On if his body knows a difference after playing an FCS team versus an SEC team…
“Not really because when you get in you play hard no matter who the team is. We have to play to our standard. Body is still a little beat up the next day but was able to get in and get some recovery.”
