Wrappin' it up: Auburn wins, 37-20

Hey everyone. I'll deposit quotes here as soon as I get through them on my trusty tape recorder.

• Tristan Davis's injury isn't serious. He pulled a hamstring, but he said afterward that he's expecting to play against Georgia next week.
  
  
• Same thing for Sen'Derrick Marks, Antonio Coleman and Tez Doolittle: They're reasonably healthy and expect to play next week. Marks was upset to have his consecutive-start streak ended at 35. He said he was prepared to start, but was told to sit this one out.
  
  
• Ben Tate on his emotions when the score was tied at 20 today: "I don't know if they were anxious moments. I was kind of shocked, actually, because a team like Tennessee-Martin should never, never be that close. That just shows that we've got to come out a lot better than we did. We have to start faster."
  
  
• Ben Tate on his health and how it affected his play today: "I'm 100 percent. Does it look like I'm not 100 percent? I'm fine. I've been fine since the Ole Miss game. It's just a matter of going out there and producing -- no matter what the odds are or what my line is doing. I have to fight and get yards."
  
  
• Robert Dunn on his messed-up punt return that led to a UTM touchdown: "Just anxious. Just pumped up about being back on the field. Just kind of got out of my element a little bit and tried to make something happen. The ball didn’t bounce my way. This time, I ended up on the short end of the stick. But you learn from your mistakes. Couple times, I’ve made some bad choices and it turned into a good thing. Just take this and learn from it."
  
  
• Dunn on if he expected to be fired after that gaffe: "Um, yeah. Kind of surprising that they told me to get back out there. I was like `Who-hoo.'"
  
  
• Kodi Burns on if he put the team on his back in the third quarter: "I was just sick of seeing this. It's the same story every week. I was just sick of seeing it and didn't want to see it again. I just wanted to come out and get a win so I did everything in my power to move the ball down the field and score."
  
  
• Burns on his early-game problems: "I was just a little off. Just a little bit of misreads. They're were giving us a little different looks then we've seen all year. It eventually picked up. It was basically just feeling comfortable out there. Just picking it up instead of going out there and kinda going through the motions.
  
  
• Paul Rhoads on the team's defensive injuries: "There were a lot of horses on the sidelines in street clothes and one (Powers) who could have just have well been in street clothes because he didn't play as well. You play six guys, you rotate, you play a guy that is that high tempo, with a quick passing game and a lot of running, I think that the fatigue shows up a little bit, and a little bit of a lack of a pass rush. But the guys committed to playing the game and playing all in, and I think they certainly finished it out that way."
  
  
• Tommy Tuberville on the win: "They gave us some problems. Their quarterback (Cade Thompson) really did a nice job, but we didn't have a lot of our guys healthy on defense. We held most of our defensive line out and I am really proud of six defensive linemen that really played the whole game rotating them in and out. That was a great effort by those kids. We got a little bit tired. We made some plays and got a little bit better."
  
  
• Tuberville on the offense: "Kodi (Burns) was the difference with his legs running making plays. We threw the ball a little better. We didn't do a lot on offense or defense. We were pretty much vanilla. We were just trying to make plays and of course a couple of turnovers hurt us and kickoff coverage hurt us."
  
  
• Tuberville on Neil Caudle, who was 4-of-5 for 32 yards: "Neil did good. Obviously we weren't trying to score there at the end. Sometimes people think when you put your second team quarterback out there, you just run the clock out. We needed to see Neil throw the ball and throw it down the field. He showed some poise. He threw the ball quick and got it off. We were trying to put him in right before the half but we gave up a 3rd and 10 and gave them an opportunity to go down and score. I would have loved to have gotten him a few more snaps."
