On the first Texas matchup…
“I think the most memorable moment in that game is when their fans started to throw stuff onto the field. That was one of the crazier moments in a game that I've ever experienced. But, I mean, that environment was a lot of fun to play in, and ultimately coming out with a win in that environment was really good for our team. Obviously, they're a really good team. They have a good defense, a really good offense, and they've been really consistent throughout the season. They pose a good challenge for us, and it's for the SEC. I'm excited, and I know the guys are excited for this opportunity.”
On improving performance since the first Texas game…
“Yeah, I think if you go back and watch that game. There's just some situations where maybe I was trying to force the ball when I didn't need to, and maybe trying to make plays when they weren't there. I think that's one thing that I've really improved on as we've gotten into this kind of later half of the season is not trying to do too much and just playing within myself and playing within the offense, knowing when to try to make a play and knowing when to just chalk it up and move on to the next one. There's three downs to get a first down for a reason. You don't have to try to get it all in one play. I think I've done a better job at that in the second half of the season.”
On performances late in games…
“I mean, obviously when you get to the fourth quarter and you're down and you gotta have it, you make it happen. I think in pressure moments and pressure situations, I've been in those my entire life, so it really doesn't feel like pressure. That's what I love to do. When those moments do come, it's either you do it or you don't, and as a team and as an offense, we've really excelled in those moments. You try not to get into those moments, but we have been in those moments this year, and we've been able to execute when we get there.”
On the unfinished business of winning the SEC Championship…
“This year hasn't been easy. It's been challenging. It's been more difficult than in years past, at least since I've been here. As far as the road to how we got here…It hasn't been all butterflies and rainbows, win every game by 50/40. No, every game has posed a challenge, and we've had to fight consistently week in and week out. Our schedule wasn't easy this year, and we knew that's how it was gonna be. Here we are in this position with everything that we want in front of us, and I know the guys are excited. I'm excited. Even though it hasn't gone exactly how we want it to, we're exactly where we want to be. So, we're just really excited for this opportunity and the rest of the season looking forward.”

On Texas’ changes from the previous matchup…
"I think when you look at it their ability to run the ball, that changed I would say. They look a lot more physical. Still very explosive when you look at it. They're not the same Texas team that we played before, we're not the same Georgia team. They've grown in areas and so have we and we just have to go back to work."
On playing in the SEC Championship…
"I think it means a lot. A lot of people questioned us about how the year was going and what type of team that we have and our abilities and what we can do. I think just being able to get in the game says a lot about who we are. We really want to take it day by day. If we take the right steps, when we get there Saturday we put everything in the bank and we're able to go play our best."
On differences in the team from the first game…
“When you look at it, we have been battle tested. We have figured out what our strengths and weaknesses are. We are just trying to hone in on those. Just get better day by day, take the steps we need to take to be the best team we can be.”
On the Texas wide receiver group…
“Very explosive, like I said the first time we met up. The fact that they have two quarterbacks who are very knowledgeable, they can both hurt you in the run and in the pass. I think that is huge and just having a group like that, he have an escape to, no matter who the receiver is. That is huge.”
