"A short week is always hard; I think it's probably easier coming off a win. We got some guys out in the fourth quarter, which helps, but anytime that you are playing a short week it's hard for the kids. I don't know if it's fair to them if you want to know the truth." – Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson
"Sitting out last week made me think a lot. It hurt my team a little bit last week. We could have put more points on the board last week. This week, coming into the game, pretty much do what I had to do. It was a minor setback for a major comeback." – Tech B-back Dedrick Mills on coming back from his one-game suspension
"We didn't play great ball today, Georgia Tech did a great job of doing what they do, we weren't good enough at stopping what they do, and I thought we were beaten all three phases. That's on me as a head coach." – Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason
"I'm just going out there doing the best I can for the team. I'm trying to be a little more aggressive. I was talking to the guys last night, 'I need a 100 (yard rushing game).' I hadn't had a 100 in 14 games. I see I was seven yards short. I'm still upset about that. As a whole, we did better. Everybody got to their assignments. We have to keep progressing each week." – Tech quarterback Justin Thomas
"I think they schemed for that and they probably saw the film from last week and we didn't do that well with the pass. And that kind of threw us off balance a little bit." – Vanderbilt linebacker Zach Cunningham on Tech's touchdown on the first play from scrimmage
