Ole Miss Head Coach Hugh Freeze
Opening Statement:
"Oh, man, what a game. It was definitely a four-quarter battle. We thought we had it put away a couple of times, and they just wouldn't go away. That's a credit to their staff and the character of their team and their kids. The great thing about it is we can improve so much from this. There's so many things we could've done better tonight. If our kids will stay hungry and with the right demeanor and stay humble, I know we can get a lot better than we played tonight. You know they had a hundred plays and that just wore our defense out. I was scared to go tempo because they needed a break it seemed like every time. The crowd was electric. It made for difficulties, but we handled it pretty well, had very few penalties because of that. I think there's a lot of growing up that happened tonight with some kids. The maturity in some showed. Hopefully, we'll take all the positives from it and be excited about the win, but look at everything that we didn't do properly and get better for next week."
#10 Chad Kelly, Quarterback
On the win:
"It feels great. I give all glory to God. Grandma is looking over me today. This one is for her. I'm so thankful to play for a great team, great players, great coaches and great fans. This is awesome. This is what you dream about."
On the atmosphere:
"It was loud. I don't think it threw us off our game. It was definitely loud. I'm so thankful."
#38 Mike Hilton, Defensive Back
On the win:
"It was a big win for us. Coming to Tuscaloosa, it was a big SEC West game. It was a good win for us and we are ready to keep this thing rolling."
On the length of the game:
"The last nine minutes were the longest nine minutes. That's one thing we thrived on, finishing games. We came out on top."
