He's been doing it since the '80s.

We have a target on our backs now. The way we looked at (defending national champion) LSU last year — we went out to prove to them we were good enough to beat them — now, game one against Georgia Tech, they're going to look at us with a target on our backs. Coaches will have their teams hyped to beat us. We have to work harder than they do to be prepared.

Everybody in America knows our defense is built on speed. At some point, fast is not always good. They attacked us perfectly, getting us to over-pursue.

Not a bad debut,

Not a bad debut, ... Not a bad day.

Sometimes you need this. It's tough, but now we can stop talking about 13-0 and start talking about being this 0-1 Tiger team and what we're going to do about it.
