“Definitely, ... preseason-wise, this is probably one of the best teams I've ever been on. So if we can stay healthy and keep the right attitude and work ethic, we'll be doing well.”
“You can get real fired up for the Saints. I mean, they knocked us out of the playoffs. We feel for what they're going through, but that shouldn't be an issue.”
“We remember what they did to us last season. It's the season opener against a division opponent that knocked us out of the playoffs, and with what has happened to New Orleans recently, you know they are going to come in here ready to play. We shouldn't have any problem getting up for them.”
“The defense played fantastic. They gave us the ball and great field position. We didn't do anything offensively until the third quarter. They won the game for us.”
“[Center Jeff Mitchell played for new South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier at Florida. Asked if he thought Georgia might pour it on when the Bulldogs host Spurrier's Gamecocks on Saturday, he laughed.] I hope so, ... It's just fun; I hope they do, because then you get to read about it, because he'll start running his mouth. Isn't he great? I just love what comes out of his mouth. If you're not a Gamecock, maybe you hate him, but he says right what's on his mind. He comes right out with it.”
“They definitely timed some stuff up that you can't (catch), especially being in an away environment. When they do things just as the ball is being snapped there is really no way to say, 'Hey, you get this guy and I'll get that guy.' That's where playing next to somebody really kicks in and you don't get to say anything, but you know what he's going to do.”
“The media frenzy of it is incredible. It's a lot of fun. You just have to roll with it. The frenzy of the whole week is crazy, so I think I'll be able to help keep everyone focused.”
