“There are some things that will carry over. They don’t run the triple-option quite like Georgia Tech does. But if you’re defending option football, there are some principles that will help. But, no disrespect to Charleston Southern, but nobody runs the option game and the triple-option as well as Georgia Tech does. I don’t think there’s anybody in the country that does it better than them.”
— Georgia coach Mark Richt on defending the option
“I feel like this team and this offense especially is playing our best ball. We’re playing with the most consistency we’ve played with all year, and it’s good to be doing that late in the season when you know you’ve got some big games to play. We’re going to need to continue that to win some of these games we’ve got coming up.”
— Georgia quarterback Hutson Mason
“We don’t have quite the players that Georgia has, but it was a great experience for our team. I am appreciative of coach Richt and Georgia for giving our guys the chance to make some memories.”
— Charleston Southern coach Jamey Chadwell
“Something that a lot of people don’t realize when they are talking about FBS and FCS teams playing each other (is that) there are a lot of kids who dream of playing college football at a place like Georgia. When a kid gets the chance to play at Sanford Stadium, regardless of whether they are wearing the red and black, it’s a special feeling.”
— Chadwell
“We can take a lot of things out of this game. The offense (Charleston Southern) ran is similar to Tech. Some of the DBs and some of the younger guys know what it’s like to get cut (blocked), and they can expect it next week. It was a great experience from the standpoint of you’ve got to keep your eyes on your keys. The shotgun aspect changes it a bit, but the basics they ran were almost the same.”
— Bulldogs outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins
“The Hate is The Hate, whether we were both 0-10 or 2-5. With Tech and Georgia, The Hate is the Hate. Both our programs want to come out with a win, and I’m pretty sure we’ve done it the most.”
— Georgia cornerback Damian Swann on what’s on the line against Georgia Tech
“I haven’t seen it yet, but it a great play call and a great throw by Hutson to put it in a spot where only I could catch it. It hurt, but adrenalin kind of took that away. I won’t feel it until tonight.”
— Wide receiver Chris Conley on his diving 23-yard TD catch, deemed Jedi worthy by UGA radio play-by-play announcer Scott Howard
“We talked all week about respecting this opponent, and you show that respect by giving them your best shot. We did just that. Our focus was where it ought to be. The energy level was high, the execution was outstanding and we got some breaks with some turnovers. I was proud of the effort.”
— Richt
