“It was a great day, obviously. The score — you can’t ask for much more than that. I thought we did a lot of very good things. On the headset, though, you do hear a lot of things going on with the coaches as far as seeing things that aren’t exactly the way they should be. … So we can’t sit here and say it was just flawless by any means. But to play the way we did and get a shutout and have some of the things happen on special teams that were very positive, I was happy with the performance of the team overall.”
— Georgia coach Mark Richt
“I thought both lines of scrimmage played excellent. That was probably the biggest thing of the game.”
— Richt
“The game was getting out of hand, and there was no point in continuing to give him the ball, I didn’t think. He did a good job while he was in there, and I’m glad. But we’ve got some other backs that are very capable, and I just didn’t see any point of keeping him in there.”
— Richt on star tailback Todd Gurley not playing after gaining 73 yards on six carries on Georgia’s first two series
“We got beat by a good team, and we aren’t very good, which is pretty obvious. Certainly nobody had us picked to win coming in, but I wish we could have played better and done a little better against Georgia. I think they have great personnel, and they coach them good.”
— Troy coach Larry Blakeney
“We’ve (lost) four in a row, and it’s not been fun. I don’t want to forget how it feels to win games.”
— Blakeney
“Today was all about just taking care of business. We wanted to come out and move on from last week. … There were no lasting emotions from the South Carolina game.”
— Georgia quarterback Hutson Mason
“I think this speaks more about my work in the film room and knowing where to go with the ball before the play. If you know where you’re going before the snap, then you know it’s going to be a completion and not an interception.”
— Mason on throwing no interceptions through three games this season
“It gives us a good feeling going into next week’s SEC game against Tennessee. … I’m just proud of some of the DBs going for the ball the way they did.”
— Georgia linebacker Jordan Jenkins
“We don’t worry about what the scoreboard says. We just take it play by play. That’s really what coach (Jeremy) Pruitt has tried to instill in us this year.”
— Georgia safety Tramel Terry
“We worked on that all week. It was fun. I was comfortable back there. It was a great call by coach (Mike) Bobo to put that in.”
— Georgia tailback Sony Michel on the “Wildcat” formation
“Our No. 1 issue is that we weren’t making tackles. We weren’t wrapping up, including myself.”
— Troy linebacker Mark Wilson
