We did a lot of really good things. Really dominant defensive front performance. Georgia has two really good backs that made some yards against unblocked players. Special running backs. Ole Miss challenged defensive line and told them they needed to dominate. They did just that.

Offensively, put the ball in Dart’s hands a lot until the fourth quarter. Made explosive plays. Georgia had given up 23 20-yard-plus plays through eight games. Ole Miss had eight on Saturday. That was a big key because it’s hard to grind it out against them.

Really special day and the film matched it. Dominant performance. Three-score win. Pretty neat place to be. Long way from last year in Athens. Schematically, spent a lot of time preparing for Georgia.

Now have to get healthy. Have to find a way to run the ball better. Going to have to be creative there, get healthy with Tre Harris, take advantage of bye week and get healthy.

Open week comes at a great time. Would be hard to emotionally rally right now. Gives Harris and Dart an extra week.

Offensive line has been getting better in pass protection, both in identification and the physical part. Still lack movement at times in the run game. Georgia has a good defense that does a lot of good things. Lot of credit to the coaches for having a good plan. Wasn’t a high play-count game, not a lot of long series. Now, when they get tired, they just bring out the squirrel (he was joking, obviously).

Did a lot for recruiting. Didn’t realize it during a game but learned it was impactful afterwards. Expecting a really good 48 hours in recruiting. Kids saw that everything was in Oxford. They were able to show it instead of just saying it.

Hoping Logan Diggs can add something down the stretch. Said he thought about that a lot Sunday morning. What would it look like with Tre out there and Logan Diggs out there?

Cayden Lee is playing through injuries, doing an amazing job, beating some really good DBs. Hoping this week off will help him. They call him Woody Harrelson, referencing White Men Can't Jump, meaning he doesn't look like somebody who could be a dangerous receiver.

Going to work hard and practice. Won’t be violently physical but they’re going to look at some schemes and such this week. The Tre Harris injury has been “good” because it forced creativity, though they obviously are hoping he returns.
