"Look in the face of the guy next to you and realize that we're not playing for ourselves out there. We're playing for so much more. There are so many more people that rely on you to get the job done, and in the end, if we all play for each other, then special things can happen."

-- Senior offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb on his halftime speech that spurred Georgia to overcome an 11-point deficit.

"It was our bread and butter play.

"It might have been the very biggest play of the game because we were in trouble."

-- Georgia head coach Mark Richt on a 32-yard rush from junior tailback Musa Smith after sophomore quarterback David Greene was sacked for a 9-yard loss at Georgia's 2-yard line. The drive resulted in a touchdown that narrowed Georgia's deficit to four late in the third quarter.

"I really don't believe we lost Damien and Terrence. They were always there for us spiritually."

-- Junior receiver Michael Johnson on his key 13 receptions for 141 yards and one touchdown in the absence of leading receivers Terrence Edwards and Damien Gary.

"I don't know if you guys know it, but coach Richt is a great offensive coach and a great coach period. He's used to these things and putting us in big wins."

-- Johnson on Georgia's final comeback drive.
