On Kentucky’s defense…
“They're a really hard defense to play against. They are tough, fast and physical upfront. Last week doesn’t show who they are. We're focused on what they have done in the past and their tendencies.”
On younger players getting more experience…
“Week by week we are just trying to get everyone better to be able to play no matter where you are on the depth chart or what year you’re in. I think we’ve done a really good job of that in just pursuing better every single week and these younger guys have gotten a lot better.”
On Arian Smith…
“He worked really hard, maybe harder than anyone else in the receiver room that I know of. He has a chip on his shoulder coming back for his fifth year. Just wanting to get better and really wanting to lead the room, and he has done a great job of that.”
