Opening Statement
It seems like last week's game is still in the news. I thought D.J. Swearinger made an outstanding play that some people are trying to say could've been an obvious interference. When the play occurred, most of us at the game thought the guy dropped the ball. Later we found out D.J. got his hand in there that caused the drop. You know the defensive guy has the right to go for the ball as well as the offensive guy. It was a close call. I thought it was an outstanding play. People are making a big deal out of that one, but I don't think they should.
On the Vanderbilt win
Congrats to Marcus Lattimore. Offensive Player of the Week in the SEC. After the game the other night my buddy Bobby Stoops called and said "Coach, that was a great win you guys had." I was feeling a little (like) it was a win but we didn't play well offensively most of the game. He went on to say it's a conference game on the road, the team's fired up, your quarterback got knocked out in the second quarter, you came back and put a drive together in the fourth to score and another to run off over 10 minutes in the fourth quarter. I think Vandy had eight or nine plays in the fourth. Even though our offense didn't make a bunch of yards, they did good stuff in the fourth to win the game for us. I just want our fans to realize we're not as bad as maybe some people think they are. Our guys played hard and won the ball game. (more)
