I'm just disappointed we didn't take care of the ball any better that first quarter. I thought we had a chance to do a lot of good things.

It's a big loss for us because we thought he was an outstanding quarterback prospect. It's unfortunate for him. I feel real bad for him.

We did a good job on converting third downs; we were perfect in the red zone in scoring.

I was disappointed in that penalty. ... He made a mistake. He threw a rabbit punch in the pile. He was frustrated and he lost poise, and you can't do that.

[He played three snaps against Alabama,] but didn't feel good, ... I'm concerned about Caleb Hendrix ... We've got to get him back because he's one of our two best cornerbacks.

With Hurricane Katrina, our schedule was very hectic. But our guys battled through all of those times this season. After the hurricane, we became a closer football team and we rallied around each other.
