"The youngster must be feeling shell shocked. Five passes and 2 of them have been intercepted."

Joel Klatt: "Joey McGuire is either thinking I've only got two possessions left OR TCU is going to score, but I'll have 2 possessions to surpass it."

Hart: "The field's longer, you've got goal posts in a weird spot."
Rodgers: "Guys can run in motion before the snap."
Hart: "How has air raid never caught on in Canada?"
Oops Award: SEC Official Leo Hedrick called a blind side block on the offense but then said it would be half the distance to the goal and an automatic 1st down for the offense. He quickly changed it to a 15 yard penalty on the offense, but he forgot to remove the automatic 1st down.
