On the Atlanta sports curse…
“It certainly seems like there has been an Atlanta sports curse going on. I think that tonight was hopefully the start of something special for Atlanta sports getting on the right track. What a huge win. That was so much fun to watch. I think that’s really cool for the state of Georgia and Atlanta in general.”

On Zamir White’s touchdown run against Florida…

“Going into it, we were going to run a counter play. We knew we had the right leverage going up to the line. We saw where they were shifted over. I knew what I had to do. I knew had to get a strong kickout in order to open up that seam for him to run. As soon as I got enough space, I saw him go down the field, and there were no blue jerseys left. I was so pumped. I sprinted down as fast as I could. That was such a cool moment to finish off the game.”

On how the University of Georgia helps him grow as a person…

“There is a long list. There is a lot. I would say it is how you carry yourself as a man, how you treat women, how you do the little detailed things right to make the big picture right, respect for others and communication. There is just a huge list. I completely owe who I am today and who I continue to want to be to the University of Georgia and Coach Smart and his coaching staff. They have taught me so much about being a man.”

On earning playing time… 
“It’s always going to be hard to crack the lineup at any position at Georgia because of the talent and the depth we have. You’ve got to do what you can, know your role, embrace it, and you must give every play 100% effort. That’s what I try to do every day; focus on me and try to make myself the best player I can be to help the team.”

On being the No.1 ranked team… 

“It’s definitely cool to be number one. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t, but you can’t pay too much attention to it because out of the last seven number one teams in this ranking, only one won the national championship. So, it’s kind of rat poisoning like Coach Smart says, we haven’t proven anything yet, all we have done is secure a spot in the SEC Championship, which is not what we want to do. We want more than that.” 

On practicing with the team… 

“It’s definitely good every day here. Iron sharpens iron. I’m going against the top quarterbacks in the nation, and I love it because I wouldn’t want it any other way. It makes the game easier because we’re going against probably the best competition we’ll see in practice every day. Our battles definitely make us better on both sides.”
