We learned that you have to be hungry. We have to be hungry 100 percent of the game. . . . From now on every game has to be played like a championship. A lot of guys who didn't step up the last two games, their manhood was questioned.

In games like this, it's all about having fun.

A lot of guys who didn't step up in the last two games, their manhood was questioned and they showed they definitely belong. They did a great job tonight.

This was very important. From now on, every game has to be played like it's a championship. Every game. ... It feels good to get back on the winning track.

They're a great defensive team, maybe the best we've seen all year. We have to be ready for the task at hand.

Corey's the heart of the team. He's not 100 percent yet. But he'll be fine.

It hurts, man. All losses hurt.

It's a great feeling right now, everybody is excited. But the journey is still not complete.

I mean, it's understandable that it's the first time he can't go out there. He can't do anything about it. But he's definitely a big influence in my life.

The time in between games is the hardest time for me because there's so many distractions. It's just really hard to go to sleep because you're so excited and all you're thinking about is playing in the game. The hardest part for me is going to sleep and the couple hours before the game, waiting and waiting.

There's so many distractions. The hardest time is going to sleep and the couple of hours before you play - waiting and waiting.

I came out fired up but at the same time they did a really good job of defending me, especially Will Thomas. I mean, what can I say He did a great job on me. I'm just glad the other guys stepped up because there were definitely some points where I stunk it up a little bit.

We've been working for this a long time. Now, it's do or die.

People wish we could get those last two minutes back. But at the same time, you have to move forward. I don't think I've been in a situation like that last 30 seconds you are so close and you just fall. It's tough, but at the same time in the SEC, you can't fall back on those games.

(The run) was definitely the key, but at the same time, I feel like it was a 40-minute effort. Everyone came in and contributed.

I didn't even see him. I'll be thinking about that for a long time.

It meant a lot more to us than it did to them, we just didn't play that way. Sometimes after a big win we take a breath and think we have time to chill. You can't be thinking like that.

It's great when you have a lot of praise. But at the same time, you have to stay level-headed, stay humble and be poor, be hungry. Be driven. P-H-D

It's a great feeling but at the same time we realize we're not done until we win two more games. We're very happy but we can't be satisfied.

I wanted to go home and spend some time with my father. I really remember that, being a little kid and cheering (against him), and my dad being like, 'What are you doing

Maybe a goat next time.

Survive and advance. That's what it's all about this time of year.

It's all about being at the right place at the right time. I mean, I don't even, in my mind it just went by so fast, but it just, next thing I knew, we won, so.

Yeah, we've thought about it. We have to talk about it. Right now, let us just enjoy this moment and we'll talk about it at a later time.

Corey means everything to this team, but at the same time, we need him to be 100 percent and if that means sitting out a game, then that's what it takes.
