“Ole Miss came out and did a very good job. In the first half, I thought they outplayed us, but we outscored them. I thought their defense outplayed our offense in the first half. Our defense settled in pretty quick. Holding them to that first field goal instead of a touchdown was big. Ole Miss h...

“This was just a great game for us. Shawn (Williams) gave us a challenge this week and everyone stepped up. This makes me feel better. We played every snap like it was our last and executed the game plan. I had a great game but it’s about what we did as a defense. All of us did what we came here ...

COLUMBIA, SC – Coming into their big SEC battle with 6th-ranked South Carolina, the 5th-ranked Georgia Bulldogs knew they would have to run the football well to keep the rugged Gamecock defense from teeing off on quarterback Aaron Murray when he dropped back to throw.

As I look down from the press box at Williams-Brice Stadium just minutes here until kickoff, I’m just thankful to make that kickoff between the Bulldogs and Gamecocks.
