On Round 2:
"I think all of us are a little disappointed, but we're not out of it yet. We just need to find a way to get off to a better start. This makes two days in a row that we didn't start well. We have to find a way to start better and hang in there. Yesterday, we didn't make any big numbers, and today we had those three doubles on 14 and Jorge's triple early on. If we get rid of the big numbers and start a little bit better, I think we have a chance to do something."
On Sunday's final round:
"I'm excited. We're only nine back. We're only one round away from winning an SEC Championship, and that's all you can ask for. We need to have our best day of the year tomorrow. We have the guys to do it, so we just have to go out there and execute. Hopefully, tomorrow's the day."
