Here are the most relevant quotes from Georgia players following their 31-23 win over Georgia Tech in Atlanta:

On the offense's talent and depth...

"I've said it all year... We have so many guys who can step up and make plays whenever guys are out. That's the standard here - a next-guy-up mentality. Whoever is going to come in is going to make the plays to help us win."

On the importance of this game...

"[Georgia and Georgia Tech] have been playing this game for forever ago. It's almost like a state championship. In high school, you have to play all these games to get to the state championship. Here, we get to play it every year. It's a huge game for us."

On being part of a program that has won 29 consecutive games...

"It's crazy to be honest. I remember, I was just a little kid in California just watching college football, not even dreaming that I'd be on this stage - on a stage like this. To be part of a dynasty like this, really, our connection is why we are where we are. We love each other as a team."

What he attributes to the issues on defense vs. Tech...

"Not playing aggressive enough. [Georgia Tech] really played like they wanted to win. The [scoreboard] doesn't indicate how well they played. Those guys played hard, they fought. They had a great scheme, a great coaching staff, and the players played like they really wanted to win the game."

On if there was a celebration following the game...

"I mean, there's nothing to celebrate. I feel like we really didn't play to our standard. That's really what it is."

On preparing yourself to play Alabama next week...

"You have to be doing the right on-the-field habits, off-the-field habits. Of course, we know, Alabama has a great program. Coach Smart coached there with Nick Saban, and there's that relationship. I just think it'll be a hard-nosed battle, and I can't wait."
