Auburn 33, Ole Miss 20

Hey everyone. Hope you enjoyed the game. Auburn fans surely are feeling much better about their ballclub this evening.

Chris Todd looked effective. The pass rush was aggressive. Eltoro Freeman was a swell run-stopped. Ole Miss converted only 3 of its 15 third-down situations.

Not too shabby for a team not expected to win today.

Here's what Auburn is saying ...
  • Gene Chizik on his team: ``I can't give our football team enough credit. The question that everybody wanted to know was -- How is your football team going to respond in a tough time? I think today is a great example of the way they were going to respond. They willed that win. That was a very, very good football team that we beat tonight and our kids deserved it because they never quit fighting. It doesn't surprise anybody in our locker room. That's who they are. I thought tonight proved to a lot of people that we were going to contend and fight."

  • Ted Roof on how he's talked to his unit recently: ````You don't sugar coat it. You tell them the truth," Roof said. ``At the same time, when you lose, you also tell them what they did good. There’s some things they do good. It's hard not to get too low, because it just rips your guts out. I'm just proud of the way they responded."

  • Ben Tate on cracking the 1,000-yard barrier: ````That's good to surpass 1,000 yards. It's even better than I did it in a game that we won. I'm happy about that," he said. ``I want to congratulate my offensive line. Maybe I'll take them out or something like that."

  • Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt on Antonio Coleman: ``Coleman played on a whole different level today. He was on a different level that what we saw on film. We had a hard time with him, then we had to chip him a little bit. It takes away a receiver."

  • Players were told that Zac Etheridge's x-rays showed no structural damage. Several players said they were led to believe Etheridge would be discharged from East Alabama Medical Center on Sunday.

  • Walt McFadden ... telling it like it is: ``We needed this. Maybe some of us were feeling sorry for ourselves. Today they showed that we believe in each other, we know we can play. This is not last year. We're not fixin' to give up, we're not going to point fingers, we're not fixin' to say we need a new quarterback, we need a new running back, we're not fixin' to say anything. We're just going to go out every week and play how we always play."

Good afternoon Hotties! Time change has me all messed up. I'm thinking it's about time to hear that Zac is day to day and CGC is proud of our team. Gotta love him!

What a difference a win makes.

Halloween was all treats for us yesterday. I'm very happy with everything. I thought we could break out of it, but wasn't sure we had the confidence to do so. Anways, here's to a nice week of positive thoughts and a homecoming game in which I'll be bringing all my family unless rain comes into play. Hopefully no rain!

Storm- UGA game time will be announced tomorrow. I'm hoping for night, but fear early game.

Eddie did you make it to the game

Due to Halloween, I did not make it to the game. I've got two little girls ages 4 and 1 and there was no way to go to the game and make it back in time for that. One of the very few games I've missed. I will miss no more this season, including Georgia. It sucked to watch that from the house yesterday but thrilled we won of course.

I feel good about winning the next two games, after what we did yesterday.

Bama game....... I'm just hoping for the best.

AU Mikey- We should beat Furman, no excuses if we don't. Georgia is down right now and that seems to never be a good thing for us. I'm very nervous about our chances in Athens, but I feel much better with the win yesterday. UGA can explode for points every now and then and every time we face a "bad" defense we seem to struggle. 7 win season is almost assured and 8 would be icing on the cake. Amazing what a difference a week makes.

UGA ... wounded as it is ... is no gimme. But it's by no means out of the question.

Let's take care of bidness first on Furman ... get some guys healed ... play some younger guys.

And use the rest of the day to enjoy beating Ole Miss.

I thought the D finaly showed up. If we can do it the rest of the season we will be in great shape for UGA.

My wife has said all season that we will beat Bama. She does not give her opinion much but if we can somehow end up with a win at UG who knows.
