QUOTE TO NOTE: ” I think Coach (Ed) Orgeron has instilled a lot of toughness in their program. They play extremely physical. The game Saturday with Florida was extremely physical; a lot of big hits, a lot of contact. It’s just the way the SEC is. And you don’t get weeks off in the SEC. It’s an extremely tough place to play. I think you saw that last week with the teams that played on the road in our conference, and we’re going on the road this week.” — Georgia coach Kirby Smart, on the game against LSU.
