“It was probably one of the hardest losses that we ever took in Tiger Stadium. Since I've been here, the only time I lost here was against Florida. And then, now I get this game. It was real hard for a lot of us. Coaches were telling us to keep our head up, but I mean it's hard to keep your head up when you blow a 21-0 lead.”
“I came out and said it was me, ... Everybody on the sidelines was frustrated. I said if we keep getting frustrated we're going to go out there and make more errors. So we just calmed down and after that we were communicating and stayed on the same page.”
“It's been a long, long season. We've come a long way since the Tennessee game. We came back from that game real well. Now the way we played against Georgia gives us a little edge to show everybody what we can do against Miami. Hopefully, we can become a good defense again.”
“It was one gaffe and then they came back out and played hard, ... We expected them to do that. It was the only play they (State) had. Even after the first drive I felt comfortable. I in no way felt they were going to mount anything sustained against us.”
