"The fans and alumni of the University of Georgia have a special situation here with Thomas (Brown) and Knowshon (Moreno) being in the program at the same time. They should really relish this moment because it's special when you have two players like that in your program."

- Georgia running backs coach Tony Ball

"I started going upfield, and somebody got a cut block for me downfield. I was heading for the end zone, and I saw on the Jumbotron that someone was coming up behind me. (Players) look at the Jumbotron a lot (on the field). That's sometimes the only way you can see who's coming up behind you."

- Georgia running back Thomas Brown on his 50-yard touchdown run in the second quarter

"I feel for him because I've been under that type of pressure. The kid's tough as nails and he came back. I don't have to say anything to him. He knows I trust in him and he's our tight end. We've got to get him the ball."

- Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford on tight end Tripp Chandler

"I'm not afraid to throw the football to anybody. Everybody on our team can play, and everybody can make plays. That's one of the strengths of the offense. You don't know who's going to get the ball."

- Stafford

"We practice a lot of things all the time. That's kind of part of the reason why we don't want everybody watching all the time. Not that we don't like (the media); any time coaches are doing something that has to do with strategy, you don't want anybody watching. It's just human nature. People see an onside kick in practice and they say 'Man, I saw something cool,' and all of a sudden, it's on the Internet."

- Georgia head coach Mark Richt on the onside kick the Bulldogs attempted in the third quarter.

"It is obvious now we do not have SEC-caliber players. In the first half we battled with them, but we just broke down as the game wore on. Our kickoff return team didn't see the ball well. There was no doubt in my mind before the game we have some weaknesses. We have to recruit to fill those positions."

- Ole Miss head coach Ed Orgeron
