Quotes from JJ about Georgia

About why he doesn't want to watch any more film on Georgia, JJ said:
"Every time I look at them, they look better. Hopefully, we can make some plays and score a little bit and make it a close game." (AP)

Praising Georgia's talented team, JJ said:
"I think every player on their team will play in the National Football League. They've got a lot of talent. They've got some young kids playing, too. But right now, they already look like they can play in the NFL." (AP)

AP Note: "Jones, who played and coached with the Atlanta Falcons, said Georgia has fast skill position players, a young and athletic offensive line and a running back, "who is one of a kind." Georgia freshman Knowshon Moreno has run for 1,273 yards and 12 touchdowns."

JJ said that the time off before the Sugar Bowl helps:
"but I wish we could play them in three days, too. It gives them a lot of time to prepare for us. We play kind of different style of football and when you have more time to practice against the defensive schemes and the offensive schemes, it changes a little bit. So you have to be physically as good as they are." (AP)

About trying to prevent his players from being distracted in New Orleans, JJ said:
"It was distracting as a player and distracting as a football coach." (AP)

About playing in the Superdome, JJ said:
"I've been there probably more than anyone that's going to be in that building that day. It's unbelievable to get into that dome. It's a little bigger than the Moscow, Idaho dome." (AP)

About how their practices are pretty much the same for their offense, Colt said:
"For the offense, we do the same thing every week, the same practice every day. For us, it's no different." (AP)

AP Note: "For the first time in his career, Jones has closed the practices to the public to avoid the hoards of fans and autograph seekers who had been attending. Security guards have also been posted at parking entrance and the field. Jones said it took more than an hour for some of the players to get back to the locker room because of all the autograph requests. Some overaggressive fans have even waited for players outside their classrooms."

About how he is hounded for autographs, Colt said:
"It's been crazy. Obviously they want the autographs because you've done something good and positive, so that's a good thing." (AP)

About the thousands expected to attend the 1-hour autograph session on Saturday, Colt said:
"It's only going to help me strengthen my arm." (AP)
