View Photo »I think the first momentum shift was Tyrann Mathieu's return ... The defense, even in the early going, was in and around that quarterback (Wilson) a lot. The plays that he made scrambling out, the plays that he made under duress, and he did make some plays, it kind of told him that the pocket was not go...
Certainly, the guys that will be in will run the plays that are designed and that they’ve run before ... I suspect that every able-bodied man will be ready and able to take a snap.

They could not sustain drives against that defense of any length
They are focused on one game ... The conference championship of the SEC in Atlanta, Georgia.
This team didn't flinch ... There was never a question in anyone's minds on that sideline that we were going to respond.
This is a very special team ... They have quality leadership. The bigger the game, the better this team plays. We're 12-0 -- certainly this team deserves it.
This football team was down 14 points and did not flinch ... There was never a question in anyone's mind on that sideline that we were going to respond. It was really just a matter of time. Of course, Tyrann Mathieu's return for a touchdown certainly was a fast answer.
Sometimes you put a helmet on the ball it does happen ... They take (mistakes) to heart. You could tell it was weighing on him heavily.
That offensive line came off the ball today ... Those fullbacks came into the game and gave us some contact.
He’s a bright kid, a smart player, he has a natural feel for the ball, knows all the keys to look for, knows where every player is supposed to be
They are qualified ... Qualified for what? I don’t know.
It made the statement that that lead was not going to stand up ... Our defense was going to continue to play well and our offense was coming.

There was no question in anybody’s mind on that sideline that we would respond
This team has it -- they come to these games to make big- time plays
They're a very talented team ... I expect they'll play an emotional game under difficult circumstances.

This is a game that we really look forward to
It is a game of significance unlike other similar games we have played this year ... Our guys are poised to play a game of significance and (for) an opportunity to achieve all the things they want to achieve.

I promise you they will be playing a very impassioned game in their last event in Tiger Stadium
