Mike Shula Last Quotations

One of the reasons we didn't turn the ball over a lot is we made good decisions last year and we didn't make a lot of dangerous throws, where you would have said, 'Oh, that was lucky it didn't get intercepted. Today, we probably had a few too many of those.

We feel better about our offensive line now than when we first got here in fall camp. Especially the last 7-10 days, they've done a real nice job.

There is a lot of talk about where we are compared to where Auburn was last year, but we think everything is right in front of us,

After spring ball last year, I felt very comfortable that if Brodie had not been able to get himself healthy or stay healthy that we would have been a very good football team with John Parker as our quarterback.

The biggest thing on the no huddle is you've got to get lined up quickly and you've got to communicate, ... It's hard to simulate that during the course of practice when you're holding up cards and still showing them plays but our defense has talked about it since day one of training camp. We've worked on it hard for the last 10 days.

It's a big win because it keeps us undefeated and keeps everything out in front of us, ... There's so much attention paid to this game for a number of reasons, because it's a rivalry and the things that have happened the last couple of years. I think the most important thing is the game is for bragging rights. This year, anyway, it's our time to brag.
