Brandon Siler Quotations

When he first got hurt, he said he was coming back for the bowl game. I said, yeah, he'll be there because he said he would. Tough guy, tough guy. It shows he's a tough guy, being that small, playing at this level and playing as well as he does. That shows you right there he's that tough.

We held them and we stopped them when we had to. I'm proud.

When you come out and stop a team like Tennessee that you know is capable of running between the tackles all game, that's making a statement. That's what we came out to do. We knew we could do it. It was showing everyone else that we could do it, and that's what we did.

Mike is a laid-back type of guy. It's not that he demands anything because Mike's just not that kind of guy. But he's cool. Everybody just knows right off to respect him. He doesn't have to command a lot of things.

I can't say exactly what did it, but Chris has a different attitude. I've seen him yelling at people and getting people in line. That just wasn't the Chris that we had before.

He is a pretty shifty, pretty good running back. We have got to get him down if we want to win this weekend.

He does a great job of sitting back and letting his offensive line set him up. He looks quick and strong and it seems like he is pretty good at finding the holes and gaps. He looks pretty shifty on tape. He's a real good back, and he's got our attention.

He's a great coach. He did a lot of great things around here. I never played for him, but the things I've seen around here, he's done pretty good. Real good.

You go out of here 9-3 and the seniors know that they started something grand here at the University of Florida. Next year, we take it to the next level hopefully, only winning championships.

Ray McDonald was probably our best defensive lineman. Losing him was big. We had some guys step up, but there is no one like Ray McDonald when he's at full strength.

You say they say that every year. Well, I'm saying it this year.

This game could make or break our season. It's big because it's the next one on the schedule, but we also know that we can't lose any more games and still get where we want to go.

They did their part. Now it's our turn. It's time to start winning championships again.

You don't want to waste talent by getting in trouble on the streets and messing your life away by doing stupid things. That's the message: don't go out and do things that can hurt your team. That's what we did in the past.

It makes you very hungry. I'm definitely more hungry. It's not that I wasn't hungry before, but if I could possibly be more hungry than I was before, I'm more hungry.

That's sweet right there. I couldn't even have the possibility of doing it. That's so sweet. We've got the utmost respect for Mike and the things he's done here.

It's tough. It's pretty much the same as it's been. We need more linebackers.

It's real tough coming out here and not seeing him.

He's so patient, so versatile. The more you watch, the more you understand why he's put up the numbers he has this season.

The guys behind the first three, I don't see any sense of urgency in them. We need (the incoming freshmen linebackers) to come in here and maybe wake them up.

You want to win a ring? You want to win a national championship? Everybody sees this program going up, especially on the inside.

You worry about it. We've got three young guys coming in and it's going to make these guys backing up now even that much better. I don't want to come out of the game anyhow.

All the fans want to see is touchdowns, touchdowns, touchdowns. They better get used to sacks and big stops, because they're going to see a lot of it.
