#15 Carson Beck || QB || RSr.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

On the offensive drive after Auburn had cut the deficit\u00a0to one score\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, that was huge for us. They go down and bring it back within one possession, we got to respond. You know, let\u2019s have a response drive. Run the ball, pass the ball, however we were able to attack them and just very methodical like you said. And that wears down a defense, so I\u2019m super proud of the guys. I thought we played really well today.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the pressure on Drew Bobo in his first start\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI think being the center of the Georgia Bulldogs is a lot of pressure within itself, so for him to come out there in his first start, I thought he played really\u00a0well. There wasn\u2019t no bad snaps, no miscues as far as ID\u2019s and that type of stuff\u2026 I thought he played a really good game.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Georgia\u2019s limited possessions in the first half\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe first half went by really fast \u2014 definitely the first quarter. It started to slow down, you start to get to two minutes left and it starts to take forever. There\u2019s a bunch of TV timeouts and all that. Just being on the sidelines, I think the games go a lot faster. I was actually talking to Coach about this, with the iPads. You know, we\u2019re so locked in on watching the defense and seeing what they\u2019re doing each and every drive. Especially when you\u2019re having a 13 play drive, you\u2019re going through every single play seeing what they\u2019re doing. It makes the game go by faster because you\u2019re not watching the game, you\u2019re not watching the defense. You don\u2019t even know what\u2019s going on. Next thing you know it\u2019s my team\u2019s out, let\u2019s get up, let\u2019s go play.\u201d<\/p>\n

#93 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins || DL || RJr.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

On the identity of this team\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe identity, to me, is resiliency. That\u2019s one of our\u00a0core values, too, but I feel like we\u2019ve been showing that. You know, with the game last week we didn\u2019t give up, and this week we bounced back. We came back. We came back strong. We have to build off that and stay consistent.\u201d<\/p>\n

On how he evaluates the Georgia defense\u2019s performance\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe do things well, but we also mess up. We go to the doctor every Monday try to fix things. That\u2019s what we do. You know, you\u2019re never going to play a perfect game, so we are just doing and executing what we know we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the potential of this defense when healthy\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like everybody knows that. If we\u2019re at full strength, we\u2019re going hard. I feel like we have great players in this D-line room. Coach Scott has built a very great squad, so I feel like we\u2019re all ready to go. We\u2019re ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

#71 Earnest Greene III || OL || RSo.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

On the physicality of the run game\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the Deep South\u2019s Oldest Rivalry. That game\u2019s always going to be won up front in the trenches, whether who runs the ball better, whether it\u2019s us or them. And you know, I feel like up front, we took pride in being able to just attack them and try to run the ball. That\u2019s a good team. They fight hard. We knew that we were going to get their best, so we just wanted to emphasize the run game.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the Georgia offense needing time to get where they want to be\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEssentially every offseason everybody will go through that, because every offseason is a different team. No matter how many returning starters there are, or whatever the case may be, every year is its own new team and its own mission. So I feel like you\u2019d have to do that every season.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the room for improvement in the run game\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like there\u2019s always room for improvement. We kind of believe in being perfectionists, so there\u2019s always going to be something on tape you can clean up and fix. We\u2019ll be looking to do that on Monday. \u201c<\/p>\n

#17 Dan Jackson | RS-Sr. DB<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

On his performance\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of things that I can always get better on. Just having all of us run to the ball, even though I might have some tackles, the corner might allow me to be there at a certain spot. We get great rush from our defensive linemen. We work as a unit, and it\u2019s never a one man show.\u201d<\/p>\n

On getting the win\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels great. And like I said, the 24-hour rule. Win or lose, we\u2019re flushing it. It just feels great to make corrections and just keep getting better every week. That\u2019s what we have to do when we play in the SEC.\u201d<\/p>\n
