GEORGIA POST GAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH JIM DONNAN
"It was a good football game, and both teams scraped hard. I was proud of the team and our ability to keep coming back. It was good to see us play and enjoy playing again. It was very rewarding to see our kids hang in there like that."

"Offensively, I was happy with several things. I felt we could have scored a little more in the red zone, but give them (Ole Miss) credit. We went backwards a couple times, but their defense had a lot to do with that. We did a good job of mixing it up. We got it to our tight ends and our protection was good. We were hitting on all cylinders with our passing game."

(on Hap Hines and his performance)
"He got off to a bad start. It was a clutch field goal he made at the end there. All of them are good, but that was big one, the biggest all year. It's been a long career and I'm glad to see him to go out with that one."

GEORGIA PLAYERS
Terrence Edwards, WR
"It was a team effort tonight. It was the first time all season that we really gelled as a team in all phases?offensively, defensively and special teams."

"Hap made some big kicks for us and he is a weapon for us. It was just a big win."

Hap Hines, Kicker
(on the winning kick and his performance)
"I have tears of joy tonight. I feel so happy I could just cry. It's good for your teammates to call you ?Happy' again. They used to call me ?Happy'."

"I just told myself that I do this all the time in practice. It's just one of things where you have to go in there and keep your rhythm. I like to take a Brett Favre mentality and say, without a doubt, that this is going to be good."

Quincy Carter, QB
"We were able to mix it up well tonight. We did a pretty good job of getting things done tonight. It came down to just guts tonight, that's the bottom line."

OLE MISS POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH DAVID CUTCLIFFE
"It was a disappointing game. We didn't play as well as we are capable of playing. We ran into a Georgia team that played well. They made the plays when they needed to. Football, as I say all the time, is not an exact science. The football bounced the other way a few too many times."

"I am real proud of our team for competing. We competed hard. We have a short week in front of us. We have to go right back to work tomorrow. It will be a challenge, but we have to move forward."

"The first half we didn't have many possessions. The first two possessions we moved the ball down the field and kicked a field goal. The next possession we moved the ball out and punted. We only had 27 snaps in the first half. In the third quarter, Romaro got hurt, and from that point in time, we were completely different because we had to be. We'll have to evaluate him tonight. He played through a lot of pain."

"Georgia has a lot of good football players. I've played against Georgia every year as a coach and recruited a lot of those kids. I knew what kind of football team we were playng."

(On the Georgia Interception late in the game)
"From my perspective, it looked like a good call. If the man has the integrity to say he made a wrong call then another man says ?hey I saw it without question.' I would rather them get the call right."

OLE MISS PLAYERS
Deuce McAllister
"I thought we had a great game plan, we just couldn't get it going. Our backs were against the the wall. They had some breaks go there way. We just have to bounce back from this game."

(On his 84-yard touchdown run)
"I had a good block on the safety, and I just beat him."

Romaro Miller
(on his injury)
"The defender fell on my ankle the wrong way. Right now I'm upbeat. I guess when I come in the morning, I'll be really sore. We'll just have to wait to see how I feel in the morning. It'll be a day-to-day thing. The injury affected me a great deal in the game. That's why we went to the shotgun."

"I really don't see anyway I'll miss the Mississippi State game, especially after missing it last year."

Todd Wade "I thought Deuce did a good job of running hard. The time of possession killed us. We just had few opportunities. Romaro stepped up and did a good job. We just have to make the catches and make the plays."

"We just have to get better. We need to do a good job of preparing this week and get ready to play Mississippi State."

Syniker Taylor "Quincy Carter is an excellent quarterback, and he makes plays when he needs to. They kept us out on the field a long time. We need to bounce back tomorrow and get ready to play again Thursday."

(When he almost intercepted the tip at the end)
"I read the tight end. The ball got tipped, and I just couldn't grab it."

Kendrick Clancy
"We lost. We have to get back to work right away. We played a little lazy in the second half and they started making plays. Georgia is a good team."

"We can't dwell on a loss, just like we can't dwell on a win."
