Les Miles Quotations

I think we are trying to improve for next week. Period. I do not think anybody is thinking about anything else.

I think there are some things that we got accomplished in the last two weeks. Our defending was good and our offensive line took some strides, but we will look at it and analyze it so it will be a long day tomorrow.

You hope you can fix it with the personnel that you have. On offense, we are doing some great things, but we did not execute. This group of men that I represent likes to work hard.

I follow Coach Spurrier because he seems to have an entertaining way of communicating.

Ryan Baker sustained a penalty of play, and we withheld him from play today based on the rules violation.

I've got a Championship game to play and I'm excited about the opportunity of my damn strong football team to play in it.

It was a play of opportunity. It's certainly something that he can do. He has the wherewithal to do that. It's a concern when we are backed into our own endzone. The reality is I want him to take that advantage. It's like leaving a net untended and you're supposed to pass, but damn you got to take a shot. Certainly represented what we wanted to happen.

They're great kids, great young people, and they fight like hell.

I do not think the crowd affected us, but the position of being in a big time game may well have affected us.

We threw passes enough that we were prime to catch them and get up to speed. I think we will be fine there.
