I was just shocked at how the first half unfolded. I'm very, very happy about the progress we've made. Georgia is a fantastic team and I thought we'd be competitive, but I didn't think we'd beat them and I sure didn't think we'd score 40 points. We're better than I thought we were.
BUT .... as we know, every week in the SEC is anybody-can-win-week. The second half of this game revealed that old problem we've had of not being able to finish well. We pulled out of that tendency, seized it I guess you could say, but not before yielding too much of the momentum to Georgia. Kentucky is next and we have to treat them as national champs, and our guys have to prepare themselves as people needing preparation.
One of my favorite parts was the joint prayer at the end. That's always a good sight. I wish more of our guys had participated. Georgia's players played tough, physically and after it was over, they were congratulatory. That's class.
I do wonder, though, if they'll do a blackout again this season. I'll be for you guys the rest of the season --- especially against Auburn --- that is unless we happen to get lucky and make the SEC Championship game against you.
