If we're going to take back the Swamp, it's going to start Saturday. We know that and understand the importance of this game. We're not overlooking it.

It would have been awesome to look back and say I won SEC championships, and I won all those rings, but you're not going to have that stuff. You have to remember the times with your friends, joking around in the locker room -- the good times and the bad times. Hopefully, you remember the good times.

I guess I've been playing long enough in the SEC, all the referees remember you.

Coach Meyer has prepared us, but on Saturday he can only do so much. It's our show.

I've come to understand the importance of practices and rehearsals.

Saturday was great, and doing it with one we bred made it even better. Now you start to think [about the Derby]. It would be a real thrill even to get there, so this is very exciting.
