![]() I think Devin (Leary) and his awareness and his ability to move in the pocket and I also believe I have to give credit to the staff for putting them in a position to protect and move the pocket and take your shots and pick your protections at the right time.” I think the offensive line has done a much better job, our communication has been much better and we’ve been on the same page and working hard to communicate with all the different things that you see. “I think that you could spread the credit around. ![]() On only giving up four sacks through Week 5… I just think their overall commitment and attitude the past several weeks paid off some in that game because they were obviously very motivated to get some movement at the first level and to really strain. We’ve talked about the communication and I thought there would be an improvement there with Eli (Cox) at center and I think that showed improvement in the second week (of Cox starting at center). They took some great pride in just straining, of executing. “I thought they obviously played their best game of the year. On the offensive line’s performance against Florida… I think I mentioned a year ago postgame and throughout the year, I don’t think they get enough credit for how well they’re coached as well.” They are obviously talented, that goes without saying. As I mentioned, I think they’re just a very good team. It’s a real challenge playing those guys. On a preview of the Kentucky-Georgia matchup… I think it does give us confidence to show you what we can do when we put it together, but it has to motivate us to work on the areas where we are falling short because we are going to need to play a complete game here this week.” There’s a lot of things we can improve on and we have to concentrate on that. So that’s the challenge for us, to look to continue to grow. “For us, it’s about us again, we need to go back this week and continue to build, continue to look at the way we’ve been practicing, the way we’ve been improving and look to take another step here this week. They’re fundamentally sound and obviously they’re well coached. The players are very good players but they work hard. Everybody knows the players that they have, and it is certainly a uniquely talented football team across the board. In particular the past two, to go on and win back-to-back national championships is very difficult to do and they do a great job. You have to credit Coach Kirby Smart, his staff, his players for what they have done and the consistency that they have had for many years. “I think it goes without saying, the challenge to go on the road, to Athens, to play Georgia, what a great opportunity. Again, I appreciate and credit our coaches and our players for the hard work they put into taking care of that victory to put us in a position for another big game this week. As I mentioned postgame, there were stretches in that game where we played some very good football and there were some areas where we still need to improve. I think that shows, we continue to work that way, then good things are ahead. As I say to you all the time, we always want to win, it’s just about the preparation and the discipline throughout the week to put yourself in a position to be successful. Again, credit to our coaches and our players, I thought they came out very fast and we had a very disciplined week at practice and a sense of urgency just to get better. As I mentioned last Monday, I didn’t think that was going to be a problem and it was really a great atmosphere. I thought it was a tremendous atmosphere at noon. Opening Statement… “Obviously, coming off a big victory, really just want to give a shoutout and big appreciation for the great fan base.
