When you know you can finish second the intensity is not there. We still wanted to win, but we knew that if we didn't make any major mistakes we had league wrapped up. We're happy because we maintained the streak.

We were happy to finish second to Benet. We knew how good they were. We were not even ranked second coming into the race.

To finish second in the SEC East is a wonderful season for our team. Obviously, we were not picked that high. To qualify for a bowl game, that was our big goal for our team. We felt it was achievable and realistic and our guys went out and won seven games to go to the bowl game.

It is not how you start; it's how you finish, ... I expect to make it a strong finish.

I know we didn't win the regular season, but I don't know how finishing second was all that great when you have to get the winner of South Florida-Notre Dame in the first round. I'm saying to myself, the four teams with a bye, this is what we get for a great season. I'm not sure that's ever been the case. They've come into this league and dramatically altered the landscape. They certainly have benefited and we have benefited from it also.

We are still in the hunt to win the league crown. We are not just looking to finish in the top half, we are looking to win league still. We've got four games left that I know we can win. We just have play at the tempo we played tonight (against Standley Lake).
