QUOTES OF THE DAY
Freshman Jonathan Krause on his development as a receiver:

“I really didn’t think I’d be at this point because I was battling with all the receivers in camp and sometimes I’d struggle. I didn’t think I was going to get this chance. But I’ve got it, and now I’m trying to make the best of it.”
Pitcher David Price on Tampa falling to Texas in Game 5 of the ALDS:

“They gave me another shot to get back out there, and that’s all I asked for and I wasn’t able to come through for us. That’s tough to swallow. It will be a tough couple of days, but I’m not going to beat myself up over it. It was a fun year, a good year. That’s how it happens sometimes.”
Georgia football coach Mark Richt on the Commodores:

“They just do a very good job on their staff of getting these guys lined up and getting these guys fundamentally ready to play football. They don’t necessarily try to trick you, but they are very, very sound in what they do. They play fast and they play physical and they really play great fundamental football on both sides of the ball. You could tell they’ve created a lot of really good habits in the way they play. They do have a lot of young men from the state of Georgia. I think that’s something a lot of those guys are going to be excited about.”
