On getting the offense going after a slow start… 

“It was a bit slow. There were no magic words. We just started executing a little bit better at every position, but it was a little bit slower. We hit some shots. We started running the ball a little bit better. I am not real sure exactly what happened. It just got a little bit better.” 

On the feeling of accomplishment going into the bye week… 

“It depends on how you look at accomplishment. Yeah, we are proud of what we have done. It would be silly not to be. We play good football. That does not mean we do not have each and every opportunity to get better at each and every position. The focus going into this week, I am sure it will be to get healthy and get better at your individual assignment.” 

On the blocked field goal and final drive epitomizing the defense… 

“Toughness. When you see the last possession of the game, they are about to score. As we say all of the time, ‘nobody in our endzone.’ You heard Nolan (Smith) say earlier, we do not even care if it is the Patriots, we are not letting anyone in there.” 

On the final Kentucky touchdown… 

“Honestly, we treat that like anything. Even if there are four seconds left in the fourth quarter we still do not want anyone in our endzone. Honestly, it still hurts right now.”
