Quinn Ewers, QB
On his overall view of the loss:
“We didn’t start out obviously like we wanted to, and playing catch up is tough for an offense. But I think we stayed poised and composed throughout the entire game. There were moments where people probably thought Georgia was going to start pulling away. But I feel like we always had that next score or our defensive got a stop, which is cool to see, but we definitely did not play our game today.”
On if he felt like he needed to be pulled in the second quarter:
“It seems like I did. I mean I came out in the second half and put together a couple good drives, but it’s definitely a weird position to be in for sure.”
On describing the Georgia’s front seven and getting pressured all night:
“I mean they have a good D-line. It’s tough when we get down like that and they know we are going to try to throw the ball. They get in straight pass-rush mode on the edges. We just have to figure out ways to start better and that begins with me.”

On if his abdominal strain/oblique is still bothering him:

On his overall view of the loss:
“We took the loss, we’re going to watch the film and we’re going to get better.”
Jahdae Barron, CB
Him explaining his thoughts during his reversed interception and the fans outburst:

On if he thought it was a penalty in the moment:
“No. I mean, I know it wasn’t (a penalty). I asked the ref. (Arian Smith) was kind of pushing me but yeah, I didn’t think it was at all.”
