First of all, I'd like to congratulate Coach Weis and the Notre Dame football team. They did a heck of a job this evening. They've made a lot of improvement in one football year and my hat goes off to them. I thought our team battled. When we got it back to 21-21, I thought we had us a football game. Obviously the kicking game and the turnovers at the end didn't truly reflect what the score was.
More Quotes from Phil Fulmer:
I'm sure he's kept every note he's ever taken, and he was a very good note taker. We usually have two or three guys signaling in plays so nobody gets a bead on what we're doing, but this could be a distraction if we're not careful.Phil Fulmer
They use the entire field with the option, screens, reverses and those kinds of things so they make you defend the field. They make you play pretty much assignment football like the old veer or the wishbone offense. Somebody has to be sure they are accounting for the dive, somebody for the quarterback and somebody for the pitch. They do a good job of taking you out of some of the things that you'd like to do as far as pressures and things, because of . . . the option.

It probably does (help). It helps wherever you go and play well and win. We have to go a lot of places to recruit. Winning in the first thing wherever you play. But if you can have some success in some areas that are particularly regional for us, it does help, whether it be Georgia or Florida or wherever.

Rick really understands what's going on around him and is able to get the ball to guys that can help us make plays. Erik, on the other hand, has a bit more mobility and ability to get the ball down the field better from an arm-strength standpoint.

That's not what we expect as a football team. What you saw out there was unacceptable. We're going to go back to work next week and get it turned around. It seems like we can't make a play. It starts with me, goes through the staff and then through the players and everybody associated with Tennessee football.

If we win the game, it's a huge step towards winning the SEC championship. If we lose, it puts us in bit of a chase mode. We've been in both spots in the past. But we know that this game is not the end-all. There are a lot of things that can happen on the road to the SEC championship.
