On what has stood out to him about Kentucky's offense...

"The difference of the last couple weeks. Kentucky plays with five tight ends. They go with 14, 13 and 12-person personnel. A lot different than what we have faced the last couple of weeks."

On the defense preparing for Kentucky's offense...

"We just get back to our base stuff. Going back to 12, 13-personnel packages and playing hard nose football."

On creating turnovers and ending possessions for the other team...

"We all say, it is points when you get the ball out. It is just a momentum swing every time you get a turnover."

On forcing field goals and not letting other teams into the end zone...

"We always call it putting out the fire. We know that when offense gets a turnover or something does bad on special teams, we are able to respond. We get better the tougher it gets. When it is in the red area, it gets tougher. We have gotten better at that.”

On preparing for the challenge that the Kentucky offense poses...

“One of the things we have to do to get ready for a team like this is to have physical practices. We like when a team is just trying to run downhill at us because we’ll be able to play physical with them.”

On where he thinks he’s grown the most this season...

“I would say my confidence level has grown the most this season. Going into this season, I had never started before, so now that I’ve seen what I can do, it’s given me confidence that I can build off.”

On staying healthy personally and as a team this late in the season...

“People say in the SEC, nobody is going to be fully healthy after that first game, so as far as dealing with your body, you have to get iced up more, and get your rest. I don’t think people take it into account as much, but sleep is a huge factor. I still get treatment because I like to be proactive with injuries rather than reactive. I just try to treat injuries before they get worse and become a lingering injury.”
