Patrick got off to a very rough start. The first two he threw right to the guy. ... After that he sort of hung in there as best as he could, and hit a few here and there. But he played about like a rookie quarterback, I guess. I don't know where he was throwing some of those.

But he's the best we've got, and that's who we've got to go with. Just try to get him to go a little quicker.

That was the best defensive by far we've played this year, ... We switched some things up and whatever we did it seemed to work for us.

I don't take any particular shot at Georgia, but the poor-mouthing is getting old every year. I don't blame Ray for doing it because he learned under the best in Vince Dooley. And the thing is, it usually worked.

It's probably the best team they have had in a long time in Nashville, ... A very competitive team that has won four and had a chance to win about one or two others. They will be a big challenge for us.

I walked around for about six hours. I think the best way to go is go somewhere and sit. You can't see much walking around.

The only thing we try to do is prepare our team for the real season, ... To be the best we can on Sept. 8. That's what we're trying to do. ... We shoot for balance. We're going to try and hit enough, not too much. We're going to try and run enough, not too much. And practice plenty without running ourselves into the ground. I would imagine everybody tries to do that.

We all wish that one of them was clearly our best kicker. The feeling is that Josh makes them during the games, or he did at a pretty high percentage last year.

We felt like Blake is much better prepared mentally, physically. He's had an excellent summer working out, and it's clear to all of us here that he's our best guy to go out there. So when it's obvious, we've named him the starter. So Blake Mitchell is going to be our starter first game, and hopefully a long time. We'll go from there. Back-ups we don't know yet, we're trying a lot of guys right there. But Blake's earned it and he's our starter.
