"A resilient, tough, hard fought SEC win. They are hard to come by, and I think that's a really good football team we just played. I said that all week, when they don't turn the ball over, they're hard to beat. They did not turn the ball over, they got physical back. They do a really good job defensively. So a lot of respect to those guys. I thought it was really hot today.Our guys and their guys struggled a little bit with the stamina part. But I was proud of Carson, stood in there and made some really key throws. Made some really good decisions with the ball. And I thought we used the backs well in terms of the mental play those guys got." </div></body>
