They were just too physical for us, I think. They just kept pounding the ball inside and made plays.

I felt pretty good about it. I just needed a chance.

We had a lot of play calls for Chris and were trying to get him the ball, but they played great defense. Every time Chris got the ball, they were right in his face, so he really couldn't get anything off.

I think (fatigue) was a big factor; we were probably still kind of tired from the Florida win, and all the beating and bruising we did.

This team has done that all season ? find a way to grind out tough games.

One of the best things this team has done is play them one at a time. If you're going to win an SEC championship, that's what you have to do. Nothing changes for us.
