On not throwing the ball too much today in practice and how that was by design:
"Our running backs look very good right now, with Jalen Holston and Raheem [Blackshear] being the leaders in that room. Then the younger guys, like Malachi [Thomas] and Chance [Black], look really good. Some of the young guys, like [Christian] Moss, made plays. We're happy the offense looks good right now."

On the backup quarterbacks throwing the ball pretty well as of late:
"Yeah, I feel like Connor [Blumrick] and Knox [Kadum] are getting a lot more comfortable. Of course, me and Tré [Turner], guys like that, chemistry with Braxton is getting better and better each week. He trusts us, we trust him to make those throws and we make those plays. But Knox and Connor look good. It doesn't look like Connor has missed a beat when he transitioned from Texas A&M."

On what it means to put the win T-shirt on following victories:
"It means we went out there and did our job with getting the dub. That tradition is awesome when we come in and our lockers have that T-shirt. It has a special meaning to it, because we went out there and got the win."
