On playing Alabama…

“It’s going to be a trench war, absolutely. It’s going to be a hard fought, physical game. You’re going to win some battles and you’ll lose some battles, but I think the biggest thing is just making sure you continue to fight.”

On staying ahead of physical and mental exhaustion…

“I definitely think you get conditioned to it for sure. You get used to just going. I think that’s the biggest thing is just the repetition of it. I think that throughout the course of a season, of course, we’re human. Guys get tired and things like that. I think that’s why it’s so important to have that connection with your brother, to have guys that can check you and be like, ‘Hey Ced, today you don’t have it. I need you to step it up some.’ That happens. Leader, or no matter who it is, I know even coaches, they may not want to say it, but they have days like that as well. I think it’s just having a system of checks and balances to have everyone be able to respectfully correct each other.”

On stopping LB Dallas Turner…

“I think he’s a great pass rusher. I want to say he was a freshman the last time we played him. He was really good then. He was really explosive, great athlete, very twitchy guy. I would just say going into the game, as far as a mindset thing, is just accepting the challenge. Understanding that he’s another great edge that they have, much like Will Anderson, which they had when we played them then, and he was a great edge. They have guys like him that are game changers and can absolutely run games if you allow them too. For us, it’s accepting the challenge and understanding that God has given you some ability as well so just trust yourself.”

On Jalen Milroe...

"He's a very good quarterback. He mans their offense very well. He leads their team very well. The offense plays very well with him and through him. He's just a very good quarterback. He understands where he wants to go with the ball. He understands how to read coverages and defenses. It's going to be a great challenge having to play against him this week."

On improving the run defense...

"We have to start playing for each other, playing more connected. You could tell last week on the film that we weren't playing as connected as we usually do, so going back to our core DNA traits."

On improving his game...

"I can improve in every aspect of my game. Whether it's press man, off coverage, zone or anything like that. I really try to pride myself on trying to be the best version of myself. Trying to do whatever I can to help our team out. Whether that's me being in man coverage or whether that's me being off, I want to do what I can. If that's me denying a man the ball, that's what I'm going to do to the best of my ability."
