I think you have to have a running game in the SEC. You have to have that balance. Teams are too athletic and too good not to have that.

I always say things happen for a reason, ... If C.J. hadn't gotten pulled from that game in Georgia (in 2002), Chris wouldn't be at Florida right now, and that's the bottom line, and he's having a great career at Florida.

It was a very even game. These two teams have grown up together, and I think they really bring out the best in each other.

He's running as well as I've seen him run in recent years. His balance is phenomenal.

It was a really good game. Both teams had opportunities. Both teams had shots that hit the post. And both goalies made some big saves.

They play a style that's quite a bit different from other teams we've played. A lot of the game was playing in the neutral zone. They don't give you good looks and they clog up the middle.
