Georgia Bulldogs College Football Pregame Quote, 12/20/2021

On if the team has a ‘chip on their shoulder’ heading into Orange Bowl:

I would definitely say we have a chip on our shoulder. Losing the SEC Championship definitely left a bad taste in our mouth. It’s kind of refocused us and made us look ourselves in the mirror, get back to the grind, and get back to work.

On the challenge of Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson:

He’s a high-effort guy. He strains every play. He’s always going to give you his best effort, so just being able to match his effort is huge.

On protecting Stetson Bennett in the Orange Bowl:

First, we need to look at ourselves and figure out what we did wrong and how we can improve on that. Going into practice knowing that we have good guys that we’re about to go up against and taking pride in protecting our quarterback.

On changes in Georgia’s defense in practice:

No, I haven’t really seen too much of a difference. They still come in and they still work. Coach (Dan) Lanning, he still comes in and he still works. He gives us everything he’s got and he’s a good coach and he gets the best out of his players no matter where he’s at.
