‘It was obviously a pretty good beating Georgia put on us today’ (and other postgame comments)
“Ole Miss came out and did a very good job. In the first half, I thought they outplayed us, but we outscored them. I thought their defense outplayed our offense in the first half. Our defense settled in pretty quick.”
– Georgia coach Mark Richt
“It was obviously a pretty good beating that Georgia put on us today. Offensively, we just couldn’t make any plays to give our defense much hope. It was the first time this season that I felt like we were zapped of our passion. We knew it would be really tough to score a lot of points against Georgia.”
– Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze
“I was talking to Cornelius (Washington) on the sideline right after it happened, and I said, ‘That had to be the four craziest plays that ever happened in football.’”
– Georgia cornerback Damian Swann on the bizarre second-quarter sequence that produced four turnovers (two by each team) in a five-play span
“I thought it was huge to score right there when we basically screwed up a one-minute drive with very poor clock management on my part and the quarterback’s part. For him to make that play was huge.”
– Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo on quarterback Aaron Murray’s touchdown pass to Tavarres King at the end of the first half
“And then getting the ball back (to start) the second half, it was good to convert the third down there on the first drive of the second half and get it going. We felt like if we could ever get going, we could do some things.”
– Bobo
“They have two guys that are going to be top-five draft picks, and they were just really tough to deal with.”
– Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace on Georgia’s defense
“It was definitely a step back (from the Florida game).”
— Center David Andrews on the Georgia offensive line’s performance against Ole Miss, particularly during the first half when it allowed five sacks
“We were able to get in a rhythm. We were able to move the ball and put up some points and get the W.”
– Andrews on the offensive line’s play in the second half, when it allowed no sacks
“I think our defense played well and finished the game strong.”
– Georgia nose guard John Jenkins
“I told Marlon (Brown) he’ll be on the highlights for a long time now. Just a great job of protection, great play fake, great job of the running back faking it and getting knocked around. And Marlon did his job and was as open I’ve ever seen anyone.”
– Receiver Tavarres King, discussing the Aaron Murray-to-Brown trick-play touchdown pass in the second quarter

That makes 2 WR lost for the season. Hopefully, Bobo want get out-coached by his former buddies Van Gorder and Martinez. He knows our offense so I hope he can mix it up and throw to TE’s and RB more. Still would like a change in the play calling or adding another assistant offensive coordinator

Murray’s scramble and td pass to King saved Bobo and the team from being booed loudly before half time for their lack of clock management. It had already started just before the play.

Even if it wouldn’t have helped get his younger brother, I wish we had the elder Nkemdiche. He doesn’t have the measurables, but that kid is a ball player.
