On how the inside linebackers played against Auburn…

“I feel like we could have played better. There was some stuff we were having problems with but that’s easy stuff to iron out in practice and get fixed.”

On the type of leader he is...

"It just depends on the situation but on gamedays, I try to lead by example. I don't really try to get on somebody in front of everybody. I'm more of a personal person. I'll come up to you one on one. I feel like that's something a lot of people don't really see."

On the opportunity for Georgia to prove itself against Kentucky...

"It's going to be a good matchup. Kentucky has a great running back and a good offensive line. We're going to have to practice hard and do what we have to do."

On the importance of learning about the team in close games…

“I think it’s really important, especially with the game last year versus Missouri, we learned a lot about our team and just how we’d respond when things get tough. We learned that early this year, which I think is a really good thing. Of course, you don’t really want that to happen, you want to go in there and execute like you think you should, but sometimes things don’t go to plan and you figure out what your team’s made of. I think we’ve learned some pretty good things about ourselves in the past couple of weeks.”

On the team’s zero pre-snap penalties at Auburn…

“Having crowd noise blaring at us all week helped. We definitely got prepared for that. We worked it in every period that we had offensive work, we had that crowd noise playing. I think that really prepared us, getting Carson [Beck] loud and us being able to pick it out with everything going on.”

On what he’s seen from Carson Beck…

“I’ve seen a lot of resiliency from him. When things aren’t necessarily going our way on offense, he’s always uplifting, always encouraging, never really changes. He just keeps a level head and tries to help us push through that with him."
