QB REX GROSSMAN
(On the game)
"It really hurts to lose a game like this, to lose to a team that played exceptionally well, but you know that nine times out of ten you beat. They fought hard and were able to get the win, this one out of nine."
CUTT
(On his play calling during the goal line stand)
"I just thought it was the thing to do. I felt that when it was down there at first and goal that we would score first of all. I felt like we needed to score a touchdown. We had been so poor in short yardage so I decided to put a challenge on our offensive team, and we didn't respond. The other thing that I did note is that we had them backed up and ended up getting a safety out of it. We could have gotten good field position and come away with a touchdown right after that. I just felt like it was the right thing to do at the time. I kind of had it made up in my mind, coming into the game that I was going to do that."
(On whether he thought about passing during the goal line stand)
"No, I didn't. I thought about running the football."
Cutt, PLEASE break the mold...We have Bama, AU, Arkansas, LSU, MSU and UGA left!!! It's ok to try a play action pass on the 2...They usually work!!
