On what Trevor Etienne is bringing to the team…

“Extremely impressed. We had a great fall camp. I got to see a lot of the young guys get to go out there like Nate Frazier and show the talent they have. I think we have the best running back room in the country and as long as we do our job up front, we’ll get to showcase those guys all season.”

On his first game at Georgia…

“My first FCS game was against Murray State back in 2019. I think I got out there in the third or fourth quarter at offensive tackle. That was my first time playing in Sanford. I just remember how excited I was to get out there. We worked so hard in the offseason and it was just a really exciting feeling to get out there for the first time.”

On how the offensive line is executing in the run game…

“I think we’re great. We work on those plays every day. We have different periods. I like our goal line periods because that’s when we’re running our zone plays. It’s great to get out there and get a chance to hit somebody and move somebody against their will. No matter what play we’re running, we have to execute.”

On his best Brock Vandagriff and Bowers story…

“We always used to have a competition, we called it B’s versus C’s. Brock and Brock, and me and Cash. We always competed, we always wrote it up and counted it down, we would fish to compete, play pool to compete, golf, anything you can think of. Brock’s just the ultimate competitor. I mean both of them are, everything we did was just always a competition between us.”

On Brock Bowers making his NFL debut...

“It’s just kind of an amazing thing. Especially coming in with him, being roommates with him, just seeing him go into the next level and seeing his dreams come true. It’s just a great experience overall.”

On playing on the road in the SEC…

“It is always hard to go on the road in the SEC. Fans are always going to be there, everyone is going to give it their best shot. We talked about it last week, we want to give everyone our best shot. That is what is required whenever you go on the road because you are in their element. You are not at home, you do not have that advantage. The only thing you have is how you play on the field.”

On getting snaps as a young player...

“It is huge for the young players because you practice every day against the same people. We say every day, ‘Our best competition is in practice.’, but it is different when you are in that stadium. There is no coach out there to hold your hand, there is no Mike out there. It is just you and the other team. It instills confidence in them. Confidence only comes with snaps.”
