On Tennessee QB Nico lamaleava…
“I've been seeing him all throughout the year. He's a talented quarterback. Being able to throw the ball and being able to use his legs, that's what you see in a dual quarterback at this point in time, so he's very talented.”
On Smael Mondon, Jr. returning…
“Smael's a resilient person and player. It was just a great opportunity to see him go out there. I actually shared his first snap with him. It was a full circle moment.: me coming in as a freshman, him being the guy who was starting and him finally getting back on his feet and getting the opportunity to play. It was just a great thing to see him back out there.”
On the process of overcoming a loss…
“We move on and just get ready for our next game. We're very process-oriented and that's part of the process. Just getting over that hump and moving on to the next week and what's important at hand.”

On schematic changes to help the offensive line…
“Trusting in fundamentals. That is what it comes down to, which is how good your fundamentals. Just going back to the basics and just try to focus on that.”
On re-watching the Ole Miss game…
“It’s a fundamental thing. Offensive line plays a lot of habits. Fundamentals are key in offensive line play. When you lack fundamentals, you lack those habits that are going to keep you on that right course during the game. It is not what you want. You got to go back to work, you got to get better, you got to get the basics of things, and just get better.”
On Smael Mondon, Jr.’s return…
“He’s so positive. Smael has had a couple of injuries now and it is easy to let that get you down and discourage you. He is so positive every time I see him and he always got a smile on his face. He has just attacked everything that has happened and everything that you got to do to get back out there.”
