ATHENS — After a 27-3 victory over Kentucky, here is what Georgia had to say:

“I was very pleased with what happened up front. It was a line-of-scrimmage game and we won in the trenches today on both sides of the ball. We had a situation where we had a comfortable lead and we were able to pound the ball and chew up the clock. … Part of it was the defense getting off the field and then the offense moving the ball. We had 71 plays and they had 47 plays and that was important.”

-Georgia coach Mark Richt on the play at the line of scrimmage

“If you watch him in practice, he’s always picking off balls. He’s got great ball skills and instincts to know when and where the quarterback is going to throw it. He’s not afraid to go make a play.”

-Richt on sophomore Dominick Sanders “We have skill guys who can handle it. Terry Godwin is a guy that can handle the zone read and Sony Michel can take the ball and run it. That adds another blocker to the scheme. The defense figures you’re going to run it, but you have numbers better at the line of scrimmage.”

-Richt on running the “wild dog” offense

“It was just what we needed. There was no point in slinging it all over the yard today. The safest way was just how we played it. But when we did throw it, we were fairly effective.”

-Richt on quarterback play

“He’s got a big leg and he’s taken to this. I’m proud of him. Brice got his chance and he’s taking advantage of it.”

-Richt on Brice Ramsey punting

“I’m not the fastest guy in the world, but I am pretty tall. Maybe that is a mismatch or something (laughter). We were able to move the ball with that and the line was able to create some pretty big holes for the backs in that formation.”

-quarterback Greyson Lambert on lining up at wide receiver

“We haven’t been in the end zone for a while now, so it was great to get a touchdown and put some points on the board. It was exciting.”

-running back Sony Michel on the offense

“It hasn’t been that tough. I think on the outside it looks a lot worse than it has been on the inside. We are together. We are a family and we are a tight unit. When stuff like that happens we just get even closer. When you put our backs against the wall, we just come out fighting.”

-linebacker Jake Ganus on overcoming this week’s adversity

“It felt pretty good. We just kept our heads up and kept our eyes on the prize, which is the main thing and we were able to do today.”

-Sanders on the win

“I wanted it pretty bad. That’s how I felt. It is just fun anytime you get an interception. I just kept my eyes on the quarterback and was able to break on the ball and get it.”
